Exhortation #61

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time..." (1 Pet. 5:6)

Shortly after the Civil War had ended, Gen. William T. Sherman's victorious army was scheduled to march in a triumphant parade in a large city. On the night before, Sherman called Gen. Oliver O. Howard to his room and said, "General, you were at the head of one of the divisions that marched with me through Georgia, and you ought rightfully to ride at the head of your division in the parade tomorrow. But I have been asked to let the General who preceded you in command to represent the division. I don't know what to do." Gen. Howard replied, "I think I am entitled to represent my division since I led them to victory." "Yes, you are," said Sherman. "But I believe you are a good man, and I was wondering if you might yield your rights for the sake of peace." "Oh," said Howard, "in that case, I will yield." "All right," said Gen. Sherman. "I will so arrange it, and you will please report to me in the morning at nine. You will be riding with me at the head of the army." Gen. Howard's willingness to submit to his commander, and deny himself his rightful place, led to the position of greater honor. Let us always walk humbly before God and man, and our Father will exalt us in due time.
