In the last analysis, Jesus Christ is the only perfect gentleman our earth has ever known--in comparison with whom all the Chesterfields seem boors.

For nothing taxes a man so heavily as the task of maintaining smooth, pleasant and charitable relations with one's fellows.

And Christ alone was able always to meet storm with calm, hate with love, scowls with smiles, plottings with confidence, envy and bitterness with unruffled tranquility.
In all His relations with His friends and enemies the quality that crowns His method of living and challenges our thought is the gentleness of His bearing.

Matchless the mingled strength and beauty of His life, yet gentleness was the flower and fruitage of it all.

For in Him the lion and the lamb dwelt together.
