PRIDE & HUMILITY
Who made you to differ?
The mother and mistress of all the sins
Paul's highest attainment
That monstrous creature within us!
Lumps of animated dust?
The great design of God
A lump of vanity
That sweet grace
It is a creature of many lives!
This sinner, not the Pharisee
The rarest and most beautiful of graces
They influence us more than we can imagine
The Monster Pride!
Like a weed upon a dung-heap!
The worst kind of pride
Unseen, and unsuspected?
All are more or less deeply infected with it
A common, old, subtle, and most soul ruining
sin.
Low views of yourself?
It is nothing else but human folly
Thousands imagine that they are humble
That nasty weed!
We know but little
The foulest filth under the cleanest cloak
The wretched worm of the earth?
SELF
The strong man sinks down into a babe!
The drop of water?
The idol SELF must be dethroned!
A delicious poison?
The flame of vainglory?
The leaven of pride?
Humility
What have I to be proud of?
Self-esteem?
HUMILITY
The parent of numberless sins?
Pride & Humility
It will engraft itself upon our holy things!
The idol 'self' must fall
Humility
Self-Righteous and Proud?
To keep me from getting puffed up
"By the grace of God I am what I am."
A high esteem of
yourself?
That hideous idol SELF in his little shrine
There is a 'boasting bump' on all our
heads?
O what a way of learning religion!
A heap of ostentatious service!
The heart of God's child
Holy posture!
A vile, creeping, serpentine thing...
Proud?
Do you seek you great things for yourself?
Appalling!
Well, my proud friend....
A filthy,
stinking bag of worms!
This
disclosure is revolting to our pride!
The idol, SELF, falls prostrate before Jesus Christ!
Perhaps in the time of our
humiliation
The humble heart!
The Great Artist's chisel!
Self dies!
The image and reflection of
Christ!
Self-esteem?
If Mr. Pride gets a wound in the head
Oh lovely posture!
A mass of pollution,
a den of filthiness,
a seething mass of putrefaction!
Three steps in the Christian's life.
Pride cannot live beneath the cross!
Thousands imagine that they are humble
A proud Christian?
A subtle enemy!
Self-righteousness?
Where pride cannot live?
The best cure for pride!
A SIGHT OF SELF?
Proud Christians?
All the miseries, vexations, and complaints
SERVICE AND MEEKNESS
Pride and Humility
LOOKING IN THE MIRROR!
That demon of pride!
Ambition?
Dr. Ives?
Success!
Pride eats at the root of all happiness!
The trial of prosperity?
The Destroyer!
The bane of all true godliness?
Self
That dear, idolized creature
The highest grace that can
adorn the Christian character
Pride, self-conceit, and
self-exaltation
