You Will Never Be Sorry

·         For telling the truth.

·         For thinking before acting.

·         For being kind to the poor.

·         For hearing before judging.

·         For helping a fallen brother.

·         For thinking before speaking.

·         For being honest in business.

·         For standing by your principles.

·         For manual work done manfully.

·         For giving money to the cause of Christ.

·         For putting the best construction upon the doing of others.

·         For speaking up when it would be easier to keep silent.

·         For sacrificing small comforts to achieve a great end.

·         For making efforts to love the apparently unlovable.
