Numbers 14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they. Of Moses it was to be said in miniature what of his Antitype can be said in full — that his gentleness made him great. Not when he parted the waters of the Red Sea, not when he sang his hymn of triumph on the shores of liberty, is he half so great as when he bore the sorrows and endured the murmurings of that rude, undisciplined multitude. If ever a man has inherited the earth by meekness, that man was Moses. His was a grand, unselfish life, made to wait upon the lives of others. (G. Matheson, D. D.)
