Sermons We See (By Edgar Guest)

"I'd rather see a sermon

than hear one any day;

I'd rather one should walk with me

than merely tell the way.
---

The eye's a better pupil

and more willing than the ear,

Fine counsel is confusing,

but example's always clear;
---

And the best of all preachers

are the men who live their creeds,

For to see good put in action

is what everybody needs.

---
I soon can learn to do it

if you'll let me see it done;

I can watch your hands in action,

but your tongue too fast may run.

---
And the lecture you deliver

may be very wise and true,

But I'd rather get my lessons

by observing what you do;

---
For I might misunderstand you

and the high advice you give,

But there's no misunderstanding

how you act and how you live."
