HUMILITY.

"BE clothed with humility." Let it cover thee as a garment. Let it be seen by all as thy daily habiliment. Let it adorn thy person as a spotless robe. Let it grace thy character with its appropriate completeness. Let it crown thy spirit with its heavenly loveliness. A humble and a contrite spirit God will not despise.
What so befitting as humility for a saved sinner? What grace so sweet and so beautiful for a redeemed soul? O Christian, meekness adorns thee excellently in every relation of life. Be clothed with humility, so that all shall see that thou art in spirit like the Master. Thou mayest not boast of it, for then pride cometh in and it is lost.
Guard this thy crowning grace with the jealousy of a true heart. Let its heavenly fragrance be diffused in gentle ministrations unto all around thee. Then shall Christ be manifest to the world in thee, and thy meek and lowly spirit shall recommend the grace and beauty of his character, and the saving, purifying, transforming power of his religion.—Herald of Holiness.
