MODESTY IN CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY.

BISHOP KEENER, senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, is quoted as saying: "When you do get these wonderful blessings, do not be in too great a hurry to tell it. Paul was caught up into Paradise, but he never told it but once, and not until fourteen years after the event. There is a habit nowadays of saying, 'I am wholly sanctified,' 'I am holy.' There must be something wrong about this. Were a man to take me aside and say, 'I am honest,' or, 'I am a wise man,' I would not believe him. So there must be something wrong about this complacent way some have of proclaiming their own piety."—Selected.
