ucation- that has not Christ III 1t.
He does not mention the Uinver-
sity either directly or Indirectly.
There is absolutely nothing i'll his
address to call forth the stOr m
of misrepresentation and abuse
that hassdecended upon his head.
He is thoroughly convinced In
the sight of God tina 1t his position
is right, and he is going to main
tain it as long as he has the
strength to do it.
We cannot undertake to give
even a synopsis of the address but
we give below some thoughts ex-
pressed by the speaker, which will
give kind of idea of it. We will
say just here that the only thing
he said which can possibly be con-
strued as an "attack" Oh the Uni
versity is the following:
"Any school in which the Bible
is not taught as textbook is not
a Christian school, l don't care
wheteer it is a church, private,
or State school"
The following are some other
thoughts expressed by DR.. Kilgo !:
"You cannot give boy Christ
ian education without teaching
him the Bible. That Unnecessary
if there is anything in Christian
ity. Christianity has nursed and
redeemed child-life. And it has
redeemed womanhood.
"Ignornce is not the cause of
crime and education is not the
care
Education in Massachusetts,
Michigan and California has pro
duced more culture, but these
people have lost the Bible, the Sab
bath, chiyalry and hospitality
They have anarchy, divorces, etc
We have got our homes and wive
if We haven't got school houses
'Can we afford to repudiate tn
sole creating factor i'll our educa
ton? When l get ready to turn
education over to the State I al
ready to turn the Bible, Oh
preaching and all else.
''Put your boy where the Chris
tan truths will be taught hir
and let the responsibility be O
L. him.
There are as many education.

. 1.-THE aim Of education is

idea is what process are you g

t race.
S Education is only secondar.
There is an idea back of it.
s talk about Christian, not ordina1
education. The word moral
: not in the Bible. Huxley al
d Spencer defend moral educatio
l. Christianity and morality are t
o, tally different.
''Our schools are trying to SUI
a. stitute other things for the crc

DR.. Kilgo's speech had the
feet to disarm criticism in ev
one who had heard it. So
inc went to criticise, but he said NJ
ing upon which they could t
~ hold. Some of the stron,
the friends of the University say I
ted DR.. Kilgo's position is one wi
,ial he has a perfect right to take,
ich that there is absolutely notl

enc tack upon him. This IS unq
tionably the truth.
