The hour had come when Jesus should
depart out OF this world unto the Father.
His act was chosen to mark the fact
that His hour had come. and was thus
distinct from the other events Of His life.
All Of His life had been an example, yet
He explained the washing of His dis
ciples' feet as His great example.
''Ye call me, Master and Lord; and We
say we'll; for so, am. If L, then your

Ideal Humility.

He suffered humiliation in His reputa-
ton, being the object of railing and cal
umny, false accusations and ignominious
ridicule In His death He was scourged,
crowned with thorns and crucihed be-
tween two thieves and was buried in an
other mans tomb, for He had no tomb
or vault of His own
At all times and under all circumstances
He was the pattern of humility and pa
tience. 1t is written that when He was
reviled He reviled not again; when He
suffered He threatened not but committed
Himself to Him that judgeth righteously;
who His own self bare our sins in His
own body on the tree, that we. being
dead to sin, should live unto righteous
ness, by Whose stripes We are healed
In the humility of Christ we have the
illustration and demonstration of the
virtue under discussion. Viewed in the
light of this example we discover what
humility is and what 1t is not.
Christ was meek and lowIy, yet con-
scious OF dignity and strength
Humility was never pretense-Self-
depreciation found no utterance in His
acts or words. Many pretend humility
when they have it not. 1t is not what we
say about our unworthiness, but what we
really feel, that counts. There is often
pride and arrogance back Of pretended
humility.

For have given YOU an example that
We should do as have done to you.
The symbolic act of the basin and towel
was closely connected with the observ-
ance of the Lords supper. The first is
a compendium of service; and the other
a compendium of doctrine. The one
pointed to the need Of daily cleansing,
the other to the redeeming blood of Cal
vary: the one to the duty OF loving serv-
ice: the other to the doctrine OF atone
ment But we are only concerned now
as to the teaching of the symbol of the
basin and towel. We are told that CHRIST
laid aside His garments, took the basin
and towel and knelt before His disciples
He took the form of a servant. What
did this mean?
I think il taught that there can be no
true. genuine, effective service for Christ
without humility-real humility, not an
imitation. cut.
There was no pretense about Christ.
His humility, condescension was surpass-
fneiy grand. The servant Is not greater
than his Lord, but the Lord and Master,
through boundless love, became the serv-
ant and thereby taught that we should
be servants to one another; and that the
service should be 1owly and humble, not
only toward Him, but toward each other.
How men shrink from lowly, humble
service. notwithstanding this wondrous
example.

The Form of a Servant.

The virtue Of humility has its highest
mark of excellence in that it means serv-
ice. AS Christ humbied Himself by TAX
ing on the form of servant, that He
might serve and save the children OF
men, and for this was so highly exalted.
so the highest honor and dignity of the
true Christian is In being servant OF
Jesus Christ, and his greatest hope and
expectation is in the prospect Of hearing
in the end the cheering words, We'll
done. thou good and faithful servant;
enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.
To understand fully the signlncance
and excellence Of this virtue We should
grasp the meaning of Christ's symbolic
act Of washing His disciples feet IL We
comprehend just what Christ intended Dy
this act to teach we will be able TO
know all that the term humility signi-
fies in the Christians life.
