WHO TEACHES BEST?

By W. Poole Balfern

He teaches best who best doth learn; We give what we receive; We cannot give unless we get— Let none their hearts deceive.
He teaches best who best doth pray; Enriched by prayer, we give. Our cries and tears bring down the rain Which makes the seed to live.
He teaches best who best doth live; 'Tis thus the truth we know; The power which living hearts doth win From earnest lives must flow.
He teaches best who best doth love; This quickens, yet controls; This grace must live and reign in those Whose aim is to win souls.
He teaches best who best doth show The merits of Christ's death, Through whose kind words true love doth glow, And breathe in every breath.
— W. Poole Balfern.
