Speak and Do

Mary C. Billings with contributions from Geo. R. Lowe

The Universalist Leader

If you have a word 'gainst wrong,
Say it now and say it strong!
Never hesitate; who knows?
It may waken, as it goes,
Echoes that shall loud resound,
Circling all the earth around,
With one earnest, faithful word
Moving souls aright, when heard.

If you have a voice of cheer,
Use it daily; they who hear
May be helped their load to bear;
Saved from overburd'ning care;
Tided o'er some heavy bar,
Where life's daily troubles jar.
Ne'er suppress a cheery voice,
If it makes one heart rejoice.

If you have a willing hand,
Bid it work at your command,
Doing service for your kind,
Nearest service you can find.
Not for praise, and not for pelf;
In that work forgetting self;
Gladly, happily, to do
As you would have done for you.

Rev. Mary C. Billings.
In The Universalist Leader.

Mere fault-finding is not finding anything.

Geo. R. Lowe.
