The opposite of pride, in its nature and in the degree of its prevalence. It is often extolled in the Bible, Proverbs 15:33 16:19; and the Savior especially exalts it, Matthew 18:4 , and ennobles and endears it by his own example, John 13:4-17 Philippians 2:5-8 . Every created being, however holy, should possess it; but in the character of the sinful sons of men it should become a fundamental and allpervading trait, to continue forever.
