Simpson would have found me weeping on the studio floor; and to ask his assistance under those circumstances, would have been more humbling than inquiring after the fly in the soup!" Garth turned quickly in his chair. The artist-ear had caught the tone which meant comprehension of his work. "Weeping!" he said. "Why?" "Because," answered Nurse Rosemary, "I have been entranced.
So that what is here written is but a transcript out of his own heart: for God who had much work for him to do was still hewing and hammering him by his Word, and sometimes also by more than ordinary temptations and desertions. The design, and also the issue thereof, through God's goodness, was the humbling and keeping of him low in his own eyes.
But it is most pleasant, most helpful to me, to read your letter, and to feel that I have a kind of right now to write to you, as I hope I may do while I live fully and freely. 'I do not say a word concerning the idea some of you in England seem to take of my life here. It is very humbling to me, as it ought to be, to read such a letter from you. How different it is really!
To have to make this fact plain to her and to witness her resigned acceptance of it had been intolerably painful to him. He felt himself drawn to her by obscure feelings of jealousy and pity, as if her dumbly-confessed error had put her at his mercy, humbling yet endearing her. He was glad it was to him she had revealed her secret, rather than to the cold scrutiny of Mr.
Still, he knew that, however unworthily, it had been always his master's fate to draw as much reproach and dislike as honour and attachment from the display of his great qualities; and that in the very camp, and amongst those princes bound by oath to the Crusade, were many who would have sacrificed all hope of victory over the Saracens to the pleasure of ruining, or at least of humbling, Richard of England.

It only prevails where there are refined and cultivated men, afraid of all belief in the supernatural, as a humbling of their intellect to superstition; and just at present a form of it is very prevalent in India, owing to the amount of education which the natives receive, which uproots the old belief, but does not always implant the new.
The fundamental thing is our attitude of walking in the light, rather than the act. Are we willing to be in the open with our brother and be so in word when God tells us to? That is the "armour of light" true transparency. This may sometimes be humbling, but it will help us to a new reality with Christ, and to a new self-knowledge.
The breezy healthfulness of travel, the teachings of art or science, the joys of rivers and green lanes all these things are a closed book to them. Their interests are narrowed down to the purely human: a case of partial atrophy. For the purely human needs a corrective; it is not sufficiently humbling, and that is exactly what makes them so supercilious.
But first I turn my eye to the throne of all justice, and devoutly humbling myself before Him who is of purer eyes than to behold any longer such vast iniquities I implore that the curse over our heads of unjust oppression be averted from us that your hearts may be turned to mercy and that over all the earth His will may at length be done!
