unrecognized, perhaps unbidden, finds
more congenial home. Religion
has not lost its power in American
education. The sincere love of truth.
whatever the truth may be, is more
religious than the resolution to pro-
pogate a fixed and determined system
OF truth. The free service of all the
people, without sectarian interest. is
more godly than partisan service of
a portion of the people. The lifting
of the life of a commonwealth is
assuredly not less pious than endeavor
to provide officers for particular
organization in that commonwealth.
We are delivered in these times from
the narrow, ecclesiastical zeal of the
founders Of American education, but
the deeper, broader religious feeling,
which accompanied that zeal and sane
tilted it, and which has its life and
Its assurance of permanence in our
very nature as men, still commands
and dictates an education broad in.
scope, large in spirit, and directed to
the cultivation of the spirit that is in.
man and the life which he shares with
God.

to mean the -'dope'-something to be
