Humility. " It is this among other things, and high among them too, which distinguishes Christianity from all the wisdom of the world both ancient and modern, not having been taught by the wise men of the Grentiles, but first put into a disci- pline and made part of religion by our Lord Jesus Christ ; and who chiefly proposes himself as our example by exhibiting in his own per- fect character the twin sisters of meekness and humility. Every thing — our ignorance, our weakness, our sins, and our... follies, prescribe to us that our proper dwelling-place is low in the deep valley of humility. We have only to compare our present spiritual condition, I will not say with the holy God, the holy Jesus, or the holy angels, but with holy Adam before his fall, to see how low we have sunk, and how entirely by the fall we have lost all ground and NATURE OF PROaRESS. 91 all excuse for pride. "We have only to look at human nature in general, all corrupt as it is, or study it in our own selves as its epitome ; we have only to look hack at what we were hefore 'conversion, or to look in and see how imperfect even in our converted state we still are ; we have only to consider how strong are our reso- lutions, and how feeble and broken have been their performance — how many the temptations by which we have been assailed, and with what success against ourselves, to see most abundant cause for humility.
