have been broad or profound, but in the
spiritual school-room he was an apt
scholar-nay, more, a teacher-teachins
with his own life the beautiful Jewish
concept of charity as duty.
THE STRUGGLE OF AGES.
The speaker then went on 10 say that
the spiritual education OF the human race
was the result of slow and patient
growth. The great truths humanity now
calls its own are the fruits of the struggle
Of ages 1t has been q long and painful
progress, but the frultage IS all the more
glorious. "rhe sweetest music IA not in
the oratorio. but in the human voice,
when 1t speaks from its instant lie tones
of tenderness. truth. and courage" To
rive that life OF tenderness. truth, and
courage IS the aim OF spiritual education.
The speaker concluded by saying that
this education IS given more by practice
than by precept As man was religious
before he was scientific. the child feels
before IL knows. 10 imbibes an atmos-
phere more easily than IT performs set
task. because II does the former uncon-
sciousiy. The child must always be given
a spiritual impression. which means that
those who arc around 1t must be spiritu2
ally-minded. Thus the double duty, for
ourselves and for our children, is laid
upOn US.
