composed of Misses Jones and Eaton
and Messrs. Smith and Graham. Rev.
Mr.. Lathe's text was from Proverbs:
Yea, If Thou Criest After knowledge,
Then Shalt Thou Understand.
Mr.. Lathe said his subject might be
expressed in the question, What has re-
uglon to do with education? The great
philosopher, Emanuel Kant, expressed
the needs Of the human mind when he
said there were three questions: Whence
am 1? What can I do? What can we
hope for?
The church and the schools are allies.
What has religion to do with education
1t goes hand in hand with the school.
Christianity has always shown a great
affinity for education. Did anyone ever
think that the school is fostered by the
saloon. or that the church is the enemy
of the school? The mission and the
school. the preacher and the teacher, are
side by side. Ignorance and supersti-
ton go together
Religion brings to education the
knowledge Of God, without which edu-
cation would be incomplete. Scholar
ship stops at the end Of its path and help
lessly asks: How? What? Why?"
And religion steps in and answers,
God" The true scholar will 20 back
from the result to the cause. Religion
answers all your questions, comes to
your aid and answers, '.The heavens de-
clare the glory of God and the firma-
ment showeth his handiwork."
