Speak q Good Word,

Speak 4 Good Word.
When the stranger enters your
gate, speak a good word for your
town, for your neighbors, for the COM
munity.
1t is but little for you to do, but
it is rich in the fruits of after years.
A community is judged by the words
and the acts of its people, and we
of this community are judged by
others in like manner.
II the hearts of our people are
warmed by the fires of comradeship
and brotherly love our acts will be
in accord with our feelings, and the
world will know us as community Of
honor and integrity, as people with
soul, as a place worthy of fu-
ture.
But if we loose the floodgates Of
criticism and abuse and belittle the
community and its people, then in time
we will descend to a level which we
create for ourselves, and the world
will know us as people whom it is
well to let alone.
Every day we are adding new rungs
to the community ladder, but are they
going up OR DOWN?
Speak good word brother-speek
a good word!
