All who walk in the path of humble obedience, fulfilling His purpose, will know more and more of the oracles of God. Let the student take the Bible as his guide and stand firm for principle, and he may aspire to any height of attainment. All the philosophies of human nature have led to confusion and shame when God has not been recognized as all in all. But the precious faith inspired of God imparts strength and nobility of character. The soul dwelling in the pure atmosphere of holy thought is transformed by intercourse with God through the study of His word.
Truth is so large, so far-reaching, so deep, so broad, that self is lost sight of.
The heart is softened and subdued into humility, kindness, and love. And the natural powers are enlarged because of holy obedience. From the study of the word of life, students may come forth with minds expanded, elevated, ennobled. If they are, like Daniel, hearers and doers of the word of God, they may advance as he did in all branches of learning. Every intellectual faculty will be quickened.
