'Tis true that humiliation is necessary in order to a true receiving of Christ. A becoming as a little child is necessary in order to a right receiving the kingdom of heaven, because Christ tells us that unless we receive it as a little child, we cannot enter into it. But however it don't hence follow, that a man becomes as a little child before his conversion. That is a thing wrought in conversion, as is evident by Matthew 18:3, "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven"; which is spoken with respect to humility, as Christ explains himself in the verse following: "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child." (WJE 18:116)
