I'd rather see a sermon than hear oneany day,I'd rather one should walk with me thanmerely show the way.the eye's a better pupil and more willingthan the eary;Fine counsel is confusing, but example'salways clear;And the best of all the preachers are themen who live their creeds,for to see the good in action is whateverybody needs.I can soon learn how to do it if you'll letme see it done,I can watch your hands in action, butyour tongue too fast may run.and the lectures you deliver may bevery wise and true;but I'd rather get my lesson by observingwhat you do.For I may misunderstand you and the highadvice you give,But there's no misunderstanding howyou act and how you live,
