He will beautify the meek with salvation.—Ps. cxlix. 4.

The Lord lifteth up the meek.—Ps. cxlvii, 6.

It is time to be brave. It is time to be true.

It is time to be finding the thing you can do.

It is time to put by the dream and the sigh.

And work for the cause that is holy and high.

It is time to be kind. It is time to be sweet,

To be scattering roses for somebody's feet.

It is time to be sowing. It is time to be growing.

It is time for the flowers of life to be blowing.

It is time to be lowly and humble of heart.

It is time for the lilies of meekness to start;

For the heart to be white and the steps to be right,

And the hands to be weaving a garment of light.

ANONYMOUS.

Some glances of real beauty may be seen in their faces, who dwell in true meekness. There is a harmony in the sound of that voice to which Divine love gives utterance, and some appearance of right order in their temper and conduct whose passions are regulated.

JOHN WOOLMAN.

The Saviour bids us be meek and lowly in heart; and this meekness is a casting down of all confidence in self, that from God alone help may be derived.
