STUDY THESE FOUR MODEST
MEN
Modesty is one of the chief charac
teristics of true greatness. A great
man can have no further commenda
tion or no greater bid for popularity
than to have it said that he is modest.
This has been a characteristic of
President Coolidge. He has avoided
the spotlight and attended to the se
rious duties of his office with becom
ing humility. His recent word that
he did not choose to run for president
again should be taken at its face val
ue. It is the solemn dictum of a man
who, having achieved the acme of his
popularity, desires to step aside.
Another man who is winning all
kinds .of plaudits and reaping all sorts
of popularity from his becoming fno-
■tfesty is the Prince of I Wales. Of
course he deserves no credit for being
born the son of a king, but he does de
serve credit for not slopping over. He

fasting. ' ^
“The spirit that moves to such ob
servance is hailed by one of the
Psalmists as a sign and token of God’s
gracious intervention: ‘Thou wilt arise
and have mercy upon Zbn; for it is
time to have pity updn her. yea, the
set time is come, for thy servants take
pleasure in her stones, and have pity
upon her dust.’ (Psalms 102:13-14).
“At this, time, when there is much
anxiety as to the future of our mis
sion work at home and abroad, it is
well to note that it was after days of
fasting and prayer that the spirit of
missions for the world began to move
upon the New Testament church. It
was when the church at Antioch, un
