This was, in truth, a triumph of "rhetoric and clever management," nor could a city well abase itself more completely, kneeling thus cheerfully at its conqueror's feet, and requesting permission to put the yoke upon its own neck. "The erection of the castle has thus been determined upon," said Parma, "and I am supposed to know nothing of the resolution."
But Kunigunde caught the sound, and exclaimed, "No son of Adlerstein shall bear abase craftsman's name. Sir Kasimir marked her trouble. "The lady mother loves not the sound," he said, kindly. "Lady, have you any other wish? Then will I call him Friedmund." Christina had almost smiled. To her the omen was of the best.
"La!" said Miss Ormsby, "how severe your ladyship is; and all only for one's asking for a pattern!" "But you know," pursued Mrs. O'Connor, "that Lady Geraldine is too proud to take pattern from any body." "Too proud am I? Well, then, I'll be humble; I'll abase myself shall I? 'Proud as I am, I'll put myself to school;
"I believe in you, my soul, the other I am must not abase itself to you, And you must not be abased to the other."

It is better for us first to repeat, "Dare to look up to God and say: Make use of me for the future as Thou wilt, I am of the same mind, I am equal with Thee.... Lead me whither Thou wilt," than to dwell upon such words as these: "It is altogether necessary that thou have a true contempt for thyself if thou desire to prevail against flesh and blood" or these: "If I abase myself ... and grind myself to the dust which I am, Thy grace will be favourable to me, and Thy light near unto my head.... By seeking Thee alone and purely loving Thee I have found both myself and Thee, and by that love have more deeply reduced myself to nothing."
I will abase myself with a trusting heart, and shrink from all self-esteem at war with the true principles to which a follower of Christ should cling. I will grind myself to dust if by so doing I may have God's grace. I fully realize that left to myself I am nothing. Jesus is not only my Savior; he shall be my guide in all things.
