GOD’S GENTLE FOLK.<\/p>\n
2Co_10:1.<\/p>\n
There were two law lords, judges, who were dining with some other men one day. One was the son of a very rich man, Westbury. The other, St. Leonards, was the son of a poor man. During dinner, Westbury, who had the knack of saying bitter things, said, "Oh, by-the by, St. Leonards, what was your father?" "Well, my father was a barber." "A pity he didn’t make you one." A few minutes later, St. Leonards turned to him and said, "What was your father, by-the-way?" "My father was a gentleman." "Ah, a pity he didn’t make you one." Not every one who is rich and high-born is necessarily a gentleman, nor if he is well dressed.<\/p>\n
Our Heavenly Father can make every one of His children His good gentlemen and gentlewomen. Andrew Marvell had a fine saying: "Jesus Christ was the first true gentleman that ever lived." And when that true Gentleman comes to dwell in our hearts, what a wonderful change He accomplishes.<\/p>\n
Tennyson, of his friend Hallam, wrote:<\/p>\n
"He bore without abuse <\/p>\n
The grand old name of gentleman."<\/p>\n
The Lord Jesus can make us true gentlemen and gentlewomen.<\/p>\n
