For it is only when we have seen these sins of ours in the heart of Jesus, so that we are broken and willing to repent of them and put them right, that the Blood of the Lamb cleanses us from them and the Dove returns with peace and blessing to our hearts. He humbled Himself to the manger, And even to Calvary's tree; But I am so proud and unwilling, His humble disciple to be.
I humbled my soul with fasting, I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother; I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother." Job saith concerning his enemy, that he did not rejoice when evil found him; "neither have I," said he, "suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul." "But whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
I have finished mine: you will be behind with yours, so I have written the exercises in your place. Look and see if it is good." I was humbled.

"You will never forget to come at nine o'clock." "No; but are you going to a ball every night?"
True, he said not a word about the early morning's sin; why should he? he had been punished for it, and he had repented; let him be humbled before God, but not confess to man.
But this is not the part of the story which the sacred writers dwell upon. He came back humbled and forgiven, indeed, but not in a happy state of mind.
The days were gone when the walls of Dutch towns seemed to melt before the first scornful glance of the Spanish invader; and when a summons meant a surrender, and a surrender a massacre. Now, strong in the feeling of independence, and supported by the courage and endurance of their English allies, the Hollanders had learned to humble the pride of Spain as it had never been humbled before.
His own baptismal appellation was Mark; as indeed had been that of most of his ancestors, for two or three centuries. When the world was a little uppermost in his thoughts, as sometimes happens with the most humbled spirits, he had even been heard to speak of a Sir Mark of his family, who had ridden a knight in the train of one of the more warlike kings of his native land.
