Humility.

Humility is a rare virtue. If one is rich he is apt to be proud of his riches; if he has distinguished ancestry, he is apt to be proud of his lineage; if he is well educated, he is apt to be proud of his learning. Someone has suggested that if one becomes humble, he soon becomes proud of his humility. Christ, however, possessed of all powers, was the very personification of humility.-WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAM, the Prince of Peace.

Echo Canyon, the Gateway of Utah.

Who of all those that in the Pioneer Days traversed Echo Canyon in an ox-team will forget the place? Who will forget the shouting, the cracking of whips, the wild halloes, or the pistol shots that resounded along the line? Who will forget the echoes, all confused by the multitude of sounds, and passing through each other, flying from cliff to cliff and up in the shaggy ravines, and seeming at last to come back from the sky? Slowly moved the train under the conglomerate cliffs; slowly, for half the cattle were foot-sore, and all way-weary. Wild indeed was the deep defile, the canyon, illumined by the September moon.-From "The Old Journey," by Alfred Lambourne.
