CHARACTER STUDY

The character of man is seldom discerned
By looking at his clothes,
But much of his actual nature learned
By hearing what he knows.

It is also true that no man is wise
Simply because he is good at rhymes,
But rather more able to advise
If he is acquainted with most times.

What he has learned, plus what he has done,
Combine to build his knowledge;
Then people he joins in labor and fun,
May grant degrees not earned in college.

Great character is earned by strong outreaches,
Seeking to meet the needs of our brothers;
Without outreach, our character impeaches
The good reputation we might have with others.
