Jim Waldron, a missionary to India edited a book entitled "Is There A Universal Code of Ethics". One of the chapters was written by M. H. Tucker. In that chapter he includes the following thought provoking poem. I don't know if Mr. Tucker wrote this or not but I wanted to give credit to where I found it.
There isn't a word the preacher can say,
No matter how lovely and true,
Nor is there a prayer his eager lips pray,
That can preach such a sermon as you.
You vowed to serve Christ; men know you did.
They're watching the things that you do.
There isn't one action of yours that is hid;
Men are watching and studying you.
You say you're no preacher, but you preach
An impressive sermon each day.
The acts of your life are the things that you teach
It isn't the things that you say.
So, Christians, remember you bear His name;
Your lives are for others to view,
You're living examples, men praise or blame,
And measure all Christians by you.
