The glorious manhood of Jesus Christ is the only true type of real manhood. I pray thee, then, I beg you, to study it, study it, study it as your only model; study it, study it, study it until it penetrates your hearts and souls, and guides every movement of your hearts, wills, and intellects. Be like Jesus—the most perfect man that ever was or will be on this earth. Let your character be as beautiful as his was. Let his glorious virtues be in you, and make you like the archangels in heaven. God grant that every one of you may be so perfected!
