Gentleness: The Fruit and Flower of Christian Life

By Olive A. Wadsworth

GENTLENESS—Oh! beautiful, wonderful word—almost more a flower than a fruit of Christian life, in its grace and beauty adorning the rough places of the road, leading little children, lifting sad hearts, wiping away tears, and winning wayward souls. Paul, with all his great and eloquent words, never melts the heart so truly as when he says, with an irresistible appeal, “I Paul beseech you by the gentleness of Christ.”—Olive A. Wadsworth.
