I am sure that there are many Christians who will confess that their experience has been very much like my own-that we had long known the Lord without realizing that meekness and lowliness of heart should be the distinguishing feature of the disciple, as they were of the Master.

Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.'
