 The Doer

 (For the Improvement Era.)
 The men who do, as well as preach,
 They are the men whose sermons reach Beyond the lip. The human heart Alone responds unto the part By labor given.
 The man who does, is the man who grows.
 and only he, who sows
 'Tis he,
 May reap the harvest of content,
 By knowing other backs ne'er bent Beneath his load.
 The man who does, is the man who knows;
 And though mayhaps by vicious blows Of hate beset, he falters not,
 Sustained and strengthened by his thought And love of God. Grace Ingles Frost.
