Signs of the Times

with contributions from W. A. Cameron, William Wallace Rose, Henry Geerlings, C. Milton Newton

Rev. W. A. Cameron in an article in the Toronto Daily Star Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Let us inquire what is this quality of soul which Jesus says is powerful enough to win the world. Meekness is not mere passivity, not weakness, not limpness, not shrinking, not cowering, not insensibility, not loss of power of indignation. . . . .

I venture to offer four definitions of meekness: 1. It is perfect conformity to God's will and cooperation in it. 2. Self-control that is the result of the dedication of self to a great truth or principle. 3. The subordination of self and self-interest to a great end. 4. Calmness produced by the consciousness of power.
