MEEKNEss AND HUMILITY.

We must learn, and be convinced, that
there is something sublime and heroic in
true humility, for they arise from great,
not grovcling idea of things; for as GER
tainly as pride proceeds from a mean and
narrow view Of the little advantages about
mans self, so meekness is founded on the
extended contemplation of the place we bear
in the universe, and a just observation how
little, how empty, how wavering, are our
deepest resolves and counsels. And as, to
well-taught mind, when you have said
naughty and proud man, you have spoke a
narrow conception; little spirit, and despica-
bic carriage; so when you have said that a
man is meek and humble, you have ac-
quainted us that such person has arrived
at the hardest task in the world, Tin uni
versal observation. round him, to be quick
to see-his own faugts, and other mems vir-
tues, and at the height of pardoning every
man sooner athan himself you have also
given us to understand, that to treat him
kindly, sincerely, and respectfully is but a
mere justiceto him that is ready to do us
the same Offices This temper of soul keeps
us always awake to q just sonse of things,
teaches us that we are as swell akin to worms
as to angels; and as nothingisabove these,
so is nothing below those. II keeps our
understanding tight about US, a;ahat all
things appear TO Gus great or little, .as they
are in nature and The sight Of Heaven, not
as they are gildea or sulIied by accident or
