Happiness of Humility.

In an interesting article on this subject
DIR. Payson tells how he found happiness
through humility
Some time SINCE he said, II took UP
a little work purporting to be the lives Of
sundry characters, as relating by them
selves. Two of these characters agreed
in remarking that they We're never happy
until they ceased striving to be great
men. This remark struck me. 1t &C.

my sufferings and sorrows were occa-
stoned by my unwillingness to be nothing
which / am. and by consequent struggles
to be something. ! saw il l could but
cease struggling and consent to be any
thing or nothing, Just as God pleases 1
might be happy. You will think it strange
that l mention this as new discovery

il for years, but l now saw it in new
light. My heart saw it and consented to
it. l am comparatively happy My dear
brother, If you can give up all desire to
be great, and feel heartily willing to be
nothing, you will be happy. too
Ambition to be great for our own sakes
is the great happiness Killer To forget
self and spend and be spent for others
and for truth and righteousness is the
great happiness restorer. The true spirit
of humility is source of both happiness
and success. Real greatness is not
achieved by selfish desires

your servant. And whatsoever shall ex-
alt himself shall be abased, and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted

Examples of Humility.

The noblest and best of all the Roman
emperors. Theodosius, had for his motto
''Malo membrum esse ecclesiac Guam
caput imperi''; it was greater honor to
him to be a member of the church than
the head of the empire.
Origen. who was the most learned of
all the Greek fathers, said II am not
ignorant of my own ignorance; and the
Wisest of all the philosophers declared,
This know, that / know nothing
All the really great have possessed the
virtue of humility. Modesty is the crown
of greatness
A lady applied to celebrated philan-
thropist on benalf of an orphan child
When he had hidden her draw on him
for any amount, she said: LAS soon as
the child is old enough / will teach him
to thank YOU"
STOP" said the good man, you are
mistaken. We do not thank the clouds
for rain. Teach the child to look higher
and to thank Him who gives both the
clouds and the rain
This story affords fine illustration of
the modesty Of humility
1t is recorded that when Dr. Morrison
missionary in China, wrote home asking
for an assistant. attention was called to
young man of Aberdeen who was de-
sirous of entering upon missionary work.
When he came before the committee his
appearance was SO unpromiSing that he
said. He will never do for a missionary
he is too rustic. They decided that he
might be good enough for servant, so
he was told of the objection to his being
missionary, and also of the proposal
to send him out as a servant He was
asked If he was willing. Without the
least hesitation and with a bright smile
he replied. Eyes. sir. most certainly. l

The compassion of the divine Christ is

humble in heart will receive it and be
made glad in all the gladness of that

foundation of the world. To them only
Christ will say, For / was hungered and

took me in; naked and We clothed me; I
was sick and We visited me; l was in

In the depths of their humility and con-
seriousness of sin and unworthiness they
do not understand the great love and
compassion of their King and Judge, and
ask, When saw we Thee and hungered
and fed Thee or thirsty and gave Thee
drink; or naked and clothed Thee; or sick
or in prison and came unto Thee?"
Then the glorious answer rings in their
ears, .'Inasmuch as We have done it unto
one of the least of these, my brethren,
We have done it unto me" Come,
We blessed of my Father, and inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foun-

In cultivating the Christian virtue of
humility there is but one pattern to fol-
low, one example to initiate. and that is
the Christ of Calvary. who is also the
final Judge of men. For those who are
of an humble, lowly and contrite heart
there is nothing to fear.
For there's a Wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the Wilderness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His Justice
Which is more than liberty.
There's welcome for the sinner
And graces for the good;
There Is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing I'm, His blood
For the love of God Is broader
Than the measures of MINIS mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
