Humility (Pure Gold Classics)

In these meditations I have, for more than one reason, almost exclusively directed attention to the humility that becomes us as creatures. It is not only that the connection between humility and sin is so abundantly set forth in all our religious teaching, but because I believe that for the fullness of the Christian life it is indispensable that prominence be given to the other aspect. If Jesus is indeed to be our example in his lowliness, we need to understand the principles in which it was rooted, and in which we find the common ground on which we stand with him, and in which our likeness to him is to be attained. - Preface.
