t9 T8E FTUMILITY OF CHRIST, ErC. [SECT. VT; suaded the man who called himself the least of saints in this world has a place of honour provided for him among the highest in the world above; and perhaps he sits next to the right hand of Jesus who is enthroned in glory at the right hand of God. " Farewel then vanity and pride ! Farewel ye scenes of grandeur, ye flattering and fading glories of this life! Farewel ye vain and ambitious titles among my fellow- worms ! Be my ears deaf and my heart dead to all the noisy pomp, to all the sounding honours of this world ! Let me be a humble and a holy follower of the holy and the humble ,Jesus ! I adore him, I love him, I would fain be more like him. He is my divine example and my fore- runner to the world of joy above : He has a crown there provided for every humble soul, a crown 1.vhich shall never fade : he has names of dignity for all his saints, but on his own sacred head are many crowns, and to his name belong superior honours: To the lamb that was slain ascribe glory and majesty and universal blessing for ever and ever.
