Here is the path to the higher life: down, lower down! Just as water always seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless.

As natural and easy as it has been to be proud, it must become natural for us to be humble.

We must begin to believe that God, in the mystery of prayer, has entrusted us with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down to earth.

A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.

Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.

The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.

Fellow-Christians, do let us study the Bible portrait of the humble man. And let us ask our brethren, and ask the world, whether they recognize in us the likeness to the original.
