college. He said the true object Of edn.
cation wa TO restore the image Of God
In the soul. Man was created In the
likeness Of God, and was endowed with
noble qualities and d we'll balanced mind.
All his powers were harmonious. But
sin has perverted these gifts, and we'll
nigh obliterated the image OF God in
man. TO restore this the plan OF saliva
tion was devised, and . life OF probation
was granted to man. To bring him back
TO the perfection in which he was irss
created, ID the great object OF life, the
object that underiies every other. Il ID
the work OF parents and teachers 70 CO.
operate with the divine purpose; and 90
doing they are laborers together with
God. The professor gave an interesting
account OF the work Of Union College
