Religion is not good believing only; it is getting the good things of good men and of God down out of the old pages of inspiration where we find them and into our own lives. Meekness as a beatitude is very beautiful. Meekness in Moses we admire greatly. But how much of it are we getting out of beatitude and biography into the experience of these common days? In our daily intercourse with men do we hold our hearts quiet and still under all harshness, rudeness, criticism, injustice? There are countless little irritations and provocations that make friction every day. How do we endure them? Do they polish and refine our natures? These are the lessons of meekness.
