Valley of Humiliation

"The Valley of Humiliation is a deep, low-lying vale. The descent to it is both difficult and dangerous; but to dwell there is profitable to the spirit of pilgrims. It tends to the formation of, at least, one part of the Christ-like character, for Jesus had his dwelling there; and he who would be like to Christ, must be familiar with this humble and lowly portion of the Pilgrim’s lot."[1]
