THOUGHT AND DEED.

You cannot reason your heart into purity. A single day’s work in such a task would make more progress than a century’s words. If thinking is not followed by doing it is like a plant that promises well, but never comes to fruitfulness. It is a very easy matter to think of doing great things, of making great sacrifices for others' good, of being charitable and helpful to your fellow-men, but to have this thinking blossom out in noble deeds is quite another thing. Many think of doing good, while few set out to frame their thoughts in living deeds.
