These three departments cover the
whole field, and include the moral.
True education is ased on the pgin-
ciple that it is unnatural to 10
wrong, and natural to DO right.

everything has its opposite, vet

addressed the congregation. lie re-
ferred 10 the vast field of thought
opened. up by Elder Hardy's re-
marks. Theology is the science Of
life. The development Of the intel
leci alone is insufficient. The train
ing or tine head without the cu!tiva-
ton Of tie heart is dangerous. We
have Intellectual giants who are i'll
developed morally.
The history Of the past and the
Of the present would
indicate that there are not many !
primal motives that inspire the nc
lions Il men. Prominent among
those that exist are humility, which
leads to gOdliness, and pride and !
which lead 20 unrighteous- !
ness. With parents il is the main I
chance in life that inspires then J
tn educate their children. IL i tie \
desire that the children may gain
fame and glory Of the world. q
In the past the garlands have Teen Q
made for those who have killed rath- :
er than for those who have saved. J
When the plan Of human redemp-
lion was being considered. the divi- I
ding line between humility and '
pride was distinctly drawn. Jesus c
offered TO perform the work and z
give God the glory. Luciftr sought
10 take the honor OF the father and o
. destroy the free agency OF man. u
The offer Of the first was accepted. c
IND from that incident the warfare u
N heaven began. This warfare has Il
on this earth. Cain and Z
Abel eXemplified these two powers u
IND Satan prompted Cain TO take Il
lis brothers. life c.
There are numerous instances n
