COL. HAULTAIN'S LECTURE ON THE "GENTLEMAN."

THE question "What is a Gentleman?" was the suoject of an edifying lecture last evening, by the president of the Young Men's Christian Association. After a few words of introduction from Col. Haultain, for there was no chairman, nor was the lecturer supported by a single member of the association, Mr Thos. Macffarlane offered a short prayer, and Mr Swallow performed an overture in a masterly manner upon two instruments. The lecturer commenced by saying that he had chosen rather a difficult subject, the term gentleman was used iv so many senses that it was difficult satis factorily to define the true gentleman. A gentleman, accordiug to popular notions, in one ago was not a gentleman in another age; still the characteristics of the true gentleman were unchangeable and always the same. A perfect gentleman was a per fect man, and the noblest type since the creation of man was Jesus of Nazareth, who might have chosen a palace for his birt h -place, but who preferred the cottage, and was content to be the son of a carpenter. His character was worthy of emulation by all men, and especially by those who use the saw, the spade, the shuttle, and the imple ments of toil. Although he believed that the real Christian was the true gentleman, he was not, however, standing before them as a preacher ; and would deal with the question upon other ground. The lecturer then traced the origin of the term among the etymologies of the past, and shewed that " gentleman" was originally applied to certain persons of quality in the reign of Henry V. He* then quoted from a variety of authorities, Dante, Gibbon, Raleigh, Pope, Sir Walter Scott, and Mill, shewing that true nobility is not of birth, but of growth, consisting of personal virtues in continued exercise, associated with loyalty, courtesy, ,and benevolence. The lecturer noticed some of the great characters of Scripture, Moses, Abraham, and Job—as true gentlemen ; and pro ceeded to notice biographies of great men, the majority of which were partial, while the imaginary heroes of novelists mostly were failures. In the realm of fiction, the most perfect portrait of a gentle man was that given in the " Dilemma," by the author of the " Battle of Dorking," and whose model was Sir Henry Lawrence, one of the heroes of the Indian wars, and who was, in every sense of the word, a gentleman. The lecturer gave numbers of instances of gentlemanly conduct in various conditions of life, to shew that all may cul tivate the qualities necessary to the true gentleman, even among Maoris. He referred particularly to a citizen of Auckland, and a member of the House of Representatives, who had exhibited traits of the gentleman, by his courage, love of truth, aud honesty of purpose. This man once said to the lecturer respecting as tatesman, " I honor that man, he has education, Avhich I do not possess; he is a gentleman, that I can never be." He considered that this expression alone, modestly made, shewed that had a large proportion of the elements which constitute the character of a true gentleman. Other characters in other^walks of life were introduced, aud among these was the late Bishop Pattes->n, whose life was devoted to the service of God and the well-being of man. The lecturer having cited numerous opinions, concluded by saying that the characteristics of a true gentleman were truth, faith, courage, 1 ing kindness, courtesy to all, aud °v ver ance in good works. (Cheers.) Ma .Swallow performed the "Cardinal's e h " and " Nobil Signor " in a manner wnich cornman(led tUe applause of the audience Votes of thanks to Col. Haul tain and Mr Swallow, proposed by Mr Robertson, of the Grammar School, were arried by acclamation. Col. Haultain, m thanking them, stated that the Rev. Allan W Webb would deliver the next lecture on "Rev. John Todd," as he was unable to prepare his promised lecture on the Brothers Professor and Father Newman, an announcement which was received with feelings of disappointment, as this subject had been anticipated by many as one of the chief lectures of the season.
