We know that man may become COM
petsnt to sail 8 ship, and that ne May trans
port merchandise, or missionaries. or

| with education turn that education to .
variety Of uses.
| We should educate system asically, and
generally; not in . one-sided, partial mah-
ner. Educate - - TO result in a well and
evenly developed individual one who will
| have broad views Of life, and not men and
| women OF one idea We want broad
minded people. who will thus be OF real
value 20 the world.
In this matter of education. our views of
IL and the degree of success that we meet
with, depends very largely upon our zeal
and devotion In the cause of God. That
person who really lives I'D to the highest
standard, rsligiously. has the best oppor-
tunity of eomprehending the true value and
purpose OF education, and of knowing wnat
that education should consist in. True
education and true Christian life are not
