[Rev. Floyd W. Tomkins, D.D., in the Living Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin]

The second part of the beatitude concerning meekness is a starling declaration: The meek "shall inherit the earth." And yet it appeals to us. We grow weary of the spirit of Alaxander who sought new worlds to conquer; and that spirit is not dead. We are sick of the boasting and rule of men who seek their own fame, regardless of right. And we know instinctively that the real victor is the man who forgets himself in serving others. St. Paul inherited the earth and claimed it for Christ. The Master himself conquered the world, for while "we see not yet all things put under him, ... we see Jesus, ... crowned with glory and honour."
