He has no feet but our feet To lead men in his way; He has no tongues but our tongues, To tell men how he died; He has no help* but our help, To bring them to His side. We are the only Bible The careless world will read; We are the sinner's gospel, , We are the s?offer's creed; We are the Lord's last message, Given in deed and word; What if the type is crooked What if the print is blurred? What if our hands are busy With other work t?an His? What if our feet are walking Where sin's allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking Of things His lips would spurn? How can we hope to help Him And hasten His return? Father And Son. Edgar A. Guest. Be more than his dad, Be a chum to the lad; Be a part of his life Every hour of the day; Find time to talk with him, Take time to walk with'him, Share in his studies And share his play; ' Take him to places, To ball games and races, Teach him the things That you want him to know; Don't live apart from him, Don't keep your heart from him, Be his best comrade, He's needing you so! Never neglect him, Though young, still respect him, Hear his opinions With patience and pride; Show him his error, But be not a terror, Grim visaged and fearful, When he's at your side. Know what his thoughts are, Know what his sports are, Know all his playmates, It's easy to learn to Be such a father That when troubles gather You'll be the first one For council he'll turn to. You can inspire him With courage, and fire him Hot with ambition For deeds that are good; He'll not betray you Nor illy betray you, If you have taught him The things that you should. Father and son Must in all things be one Partners in trouble And comrades in joy. More than a dad Was the best pal you had; Be such a chum As you knew, to your boy. Notice. .
