s dress, that of the sect
of Nazarites; His forehead is smooth and large; His cheeks
without blemish, and of roseate hue; His nose and mouth are
formed with exquisite symmetry; His beard is thick and
suitable to the hair of His head, reaching a little below His
chin, and parting in the middle below; His eyes are clear,
bright, and serene.

"He rebukes with mildness, and invokes with the most tender
and persuasive language--His whole address, whether in word or
deed, being elegantly grave, and strictly characteristic of so
exalted a being. No man has seen Him laugh, but the whole
world beholds Him weep frequently, and so persuasive are His
tears that the whole multitude can not withhold their tears
from joining in sympathy with Him. He is moderate, temperate,
and wise; in short, whatever the phenomenon may turn out in
the end, He seems at present to be a man of excellent beauty
and Divine perfection, every way surpassing man."

deeds of Christ.

IS NOT THIS THE CARPENTER?

_Mark, vi, 3._

I can stand the hard work, I can stand the poor pay,
For I'll see that Carpenter at no distant day.

311

He that thinks he hath no need of Christ hath too high thoughts of
himself. He that thinks Christ can not help him hath too low thoughts of
Christ.

312

A Christian is the highest style of man.

He that is a good man, is three-quarters of his way towards the being a
good Christian, wheresoever he lives, or whatsoever he is
