HUMILITY

'Kumalo said humbly, Maybe you will pray for me.
- I shall do so gladly. My brother, I have of course my work to do, but so long as you are here, my hands are yours.
- You are kind.
Something in the humble voice must have touched Msimangu, for he said, I am not kind. I am a selfish and sinful man, but God put his hands on me, that is all.'
Alan Paton, Cry, The Beloved Country, p.24.
