God in all that liberates and lifts, In all that humbles, sweetens and consoles. Bishop Brooks taught me no special creed or dogma; but he impressed upon my mind two great ideas the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and made me feel that these truths underlie all creeds and forms of worship.
He had set the perfect Pattern of lowly self-abnegation when, amid the disciples in the upper room, He had 'laid aside His garments, but now He humbles Himself yet more, being clothed only 'with shame. Therefore should we clothe Him with hearts' love. Therefore God has clothed Him with the robes of imperial majesty. Another point emphasised by John is the fulfilment of prophecy in this act.
Look round on Nature behold the only company that humbles me not except the dead whose souls speak to us from the immortality of books.
If he begins to abuse himself, he humbles himself into the dust come, one thinks, he will never dare to face the light of day after that. Not a bit of it! It only cheers him up, as if he'd treated himself to a glass of grog. Pandalevsky was a little afraid of Rudin, and cautiously tried to win his favour. Volintsev had got on to curious terms with him.
She must base her title entirely upon the extraordinary providence of God; but if she does this, "if thus, in God's presence, she humbles herself, so will he with tongue and pen justify her authority, as the Holy Ghost hath justified the same in Deborah, that blessed mother in Israel."

His priests appear to him sorcerers, in whom he supposes a power purely divine, before whom his confounded reason humbles itself, whose oracles are to him infallible decrees which it would be dangerous to contradict. In religion, men have, for the most part, remained in their primitive barbarity. Modern religions are only ancient follies revived, or presented under some new form.
For it falls some little below the Apostolic spirit; still it is credible that it is none the less the Apostle's, for since herein, he is writing not of faith but of love, he lets himself down somewhat, as the manner of love is, inasmuch as it humbles itself toward its neighbor, just as faith rises above itself.
