From the root of true humility springs the most precious greatness of mind,--greatness which leads men to conform to the image of Christ. Those who possess this greatness gain patience and trust in God. Their faith is invincible. Their true consecration and devotion keep self hidden. The words that fall from their lips are molded into expressions of Christlike tenderness and love. Having a sense of their own weakness, they appreciate the help which the Lord gives them, and they crave his grace that they may do that which is right and true. By their manner, their attitude, and their spirit, they carry with them the credentials of learners in the school of Christ.

Af den sande ydmygheds rod skyder et ædelmodigt sind en ædelmodighed, der danner menneskene i overensstemmelse med Kristi billede. De, der besidder dette ædle sind, får tålmodighed og tillid til Gud. Deres tro er uovervindelig. Deres sande overgivelse og helligelse skjuler selvet. De ord, der falder fra deres læber, er formet som Kristi ord, så de giver udtryk for ømhed og kærlighed. Idet de har forståelse af deres egen svaghed, værdsætter de den hjælp, som Herren yder dem og higer efter hans nåde, så de kan gøre det, der er sandt og ret. Ved deres opførsel, indstilling og ånd viser de, at de er elever i Kristi skole.
