Humility. The great majority of men are still a long way off from under standing or appreciating the qual ities which constitute a really strong character. From the pop ular point of view, a strong char acter is made up more largely of the aggressive order than of the higher traits of power. Asa mat ter of fact, the strongest men have been those who have been most thoroughly self-restrained, and have carried themselves among their fellows in the quietest possi ble way, Mr. Kipling once said that all the great fighters he had known were men of almost preter natural stillness of manner; one who did not know would have been grossly imposed upon by their ap parent docility. The poet Whit tier was a fine example of a fiery spirit thoroughly kept in hand ; a man of most energetic and intense nature, resolutely self-contained. No man capable of greater courage; none took the risk of sacrifice of growing reputation and future use fulness with keener appreciation of the risks he was assuming than the young Quaker poet; but among all the men of li is time he was one of the most thoroughly humble. In a quaint little copy of “The Imi tation of Christ” which was found among his books, well worn and well thumbed, this passage is marked: “Esteem not thyself bet ter than others, lest perhaps thou be accounted worse in the sight of God, who knows what is in man.” The surprise, almost painful in its intensity, which Whittier showed when popularity came to him and very considerably pecuniary re turns followed the publication of his books, was unaffectedly genuine. Ardent, impetuous, au dacious, and even fiery, he was yet possessed of a truly humble spirit. There was no touch of mock modesty in him, nothing of that sham humility which is a cheap imitation of the real qual ity; but there was in him so deep a recognition of the greatness of life and the human responsibility so high a regard for the art which he served, that success, instead of elating the poet, gave his con science keener edge, and made him the more exacting in his demands upon himself. Humility is the quality of a fine nature; but, like all qualities, it is capable of de velopment, and it is best develop ed by fixing one’s mind on the spiritual significance of one’s work; for whim a man understands how fathomlessly deep are the spiritual possibilities of every thing that he does with his hands or with his mind, lit l is in the best, possible way to learn the differ ence between that which he does and that which ought to be done; between his own faltering effort and the perfect achievement. To look into the deeps of one’s work is to rid one’s self of that con sciousness ol'self which is the bane of so many workers of talent and energy, and to set one’s self reso lutely to the task, not of advanc ing one’s reputation, but of stead ily deepening one’s insight and steadily building up one’s power.
