Truth must be wrought

into the very grain and fiber of his manhood

The active virtues must be cultivated, as well as the passive . Meekness — must not become weakness. The soft speech — must not become the timid utterance of moral feebleness.

The Christian man must have a touch as gentle as an infant's — and yet possess the courage of a hero to smite evil and to do the Lord's work.

With the charity which bears all things and endures all things — he must have the force of character which will make his influence a mighty positive power for good. Truth must be wrought into the very grain and fiber of his manhood .
