Meekness.

. You should make a special point of asking God every morning to give you, before all else, that true spirit of meekness which he z would have hla children possess. You must also make a firm resolution to practice yourself In this virtue, especially In your intercourse withthqse persons to whom you chiefly owe It. Yau must make It your main object to conquer yourself In this matter; call it to mind a hundred times during the day, commending your efforts to God. It seems to me that no more than, this is needed In order to subject your soul entirely to his win, and then you win become more gentle day by day. trusting wholly in his goodness. You wtil be very happy, my dearest child, if you can do this, for God win dwell ta your heart; and where ho reigns an Is peace. But if you should fail and commit some of your old faults, do not be dWwartened, but rise, up, and go on again as though you had not fallen.—Saint Francis de Sales.
