A Poem From Mrs. Eby ... CHARACTER BUILDING Beautiful thoughts make beau tiful lifes for every word and deed, lies in the thought that prompted it as flowers lie in the seed. Back of each action lays the thought we nourished till it grew into a word or into a deed that marked our life's work through. Gracious words and kindly ways are deeds that are high and true, slanderous words and hasty words are deeds we bit terly rue. For the blossom must always and ever be like the seed we plant <-d then* on tilings that are pure and good report our hearts must daily share If we would see life's garden full of blossoms there survive, we’ll plant beautiful thoughts that make beautiful life* For tlie heart is a garden where thought flowers grow Each thought we think is a seed we sow For kind loving thought hears a kind loving deid, while a thought that is selfish Is just like a weed. We must watch what we think tlie livelong day and pull up the weed thoughts and throw them away, And plant loving seed thoughts so thick in the row, that there’ll be no room for weed thoughts to grow.
