ested in. 1t IS not hard for US to rernem-
Der and tell the main points of his adj
dress. He is a most graceful speaker,
attractive and fascinating in his manner,
| and one cannot help listening to and abb
sorbing the truths he lays bare. DR..
Lowry contends that God wants educated
brains and hearts for His service. He
| placed Moses as the greatest man of the
first on law period. But by human reck-
oning, God was a long time educating
Moses for leadership to--not into-Ca-
naan He had Moses educated in all the
learning of the Egyptians where was the
central point of all the knowledge in the
world at that period. But it took So
years of training and educating, including
in shape to suit the Almighty to admit
the Israelites safely into the land of Ca
man. Moses was no stump speaker. He
was slow of speech. But when he APP
peared in the presence of the mighty
king of Egypt he knew full well, by ed
ucation, had to talk to that king, in Gods
name. Moses primary training was by
4 his own mother up to his 18th year of
| age. For 90 years more he lived, ten
ded flocks, and looked after other in
terests, in the regions lying between the
Red and the Dead Seas, and thus became
familiar with the mountains, valleys,
every river ard stream and wilds of
| all that region. In this SO years of college
education God was training him to lead
4 the 1sarelites with surety and safety when
| they were to be put under his Masters
| leadership. And then the following 40
years was taken up with the wanderings
of the children of Israel, on and up TO
the point of crossing over Jordan. But
Moses died in sight of the promised land
/. Yet the education was complete and the
purposes of God in Moses were accom-
plished, educating him for such purpose.
This was the first or law period.
The second or Prophetic period pro-
duced Daniel as the grandest character
of that day. He was educated and trained
| at the Chaldean Courts. He was an all
round man and prime minister with pow
erful influence with these great kings.
He held the leadership during this second
period for the carrying forward of Gods
plan looking towards the saving of the
people to himself. Then comes the third
history, which developed Paul. Saul,
afterwards Paul, was the grandest char
actcr of this Christian period. He was
educated in the schools of Tarsus at the
feet of Gamaliel-in fact, Paul was being
trained by the Almighty for still gram
der work to be accomplished in behalf
of Christianity. Wicked man at first
though he was, his brain was in Gods
hand, and being of bold, daring, strenuous
disposition and energy, was destined 70
be Gods agent for untold good. He, at
| the oppcrtune moment, was changed from
then God put him to the work He was
preparing Paul for. He was the grandest
man of the greatest period in the worlds
history, next to the Son of God. God
wants his instruments educated. He may
get along without education, but He did
not choose to do so. And He can get
along without ignorance and He chooses
to do so. Paul wrote "a books of the
New Testament, or, one book over half
the Testament.
DIR. Lowry said the purpose of educa-
ton was not to make living, as many
suppose, but TO make life. And then
the question arises: Are we serving God
in our teaching school? Are we serving
God as trustees Of schools? Are we
serving God as patrons of schools?
