Seek Meekness.

By Angelia J. Edmunds

We separate ourselves from the world, and truly become a “peculiar people” in dress and diet; but are we possessed of a meek and quiet spirit? Are we very careful not to let the unkind, impatient word escape our lips? It will do us no good to make the profession we do, unless we are enabled to shout the victory over this sin; for the meek of the earth are exhorted “to seek meekness,” that they may be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger. We must also be like Jesus, who was “meek and lowly in heart.” When we indulge in a fretful spirit, good angels are driven from our dwellings; and the powers of darkness hover around.
Oh! for grace, that we may be “peculiar” in this respect, and be shielded by the Lord in that day when his wrath shall be poured out upon all excepting the meek of the earth.
