RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Character Is the result OF the in

man. 1T Is true, OF course that in
nuences outside OF our actual ex-
perience have their part, but. after
oil. these arc only another form OF our
human experience. These influences
affect US because We live.
Character comes from living. We
cannot live for another. nor even in
terpret life for another. We can tell
OF our own experiences; we can point
TO the experiences OF others: but this
knowledge about life can never take
tho place OF living. 1t is necessary
10 live in order TO know what life is
is not the purpose of education, then,
10 give the ability TO choose from the
new and manifold experiences Of life
those which tend to build up rather
than to destroy our self-expression :?
And is not the supreme function of
the teacher that OF training the child
10 desire and make full use OF these
experiences? Truth Is neither a gift
nor possession 1t is possibility
To teach the child that two and two
make four IS 10 help in bringing order
out or chaos; but 30 far as the in
d!vidual life Is concerned so far
as character is developed that truth

ielt It's power in regulating and de-
lining the course OF Its own life.

agent In recognizing and setting forth
the facts Of life. pThere must be the

power to make sue OF those truths in
the development OF character The
Willingness and ability TO choose is
the test OF the reality OF our educa-
ton; Not only must we recognize the
truth: we must desire IL above UIl .Ise

the surer does one become of it's worth
and Its promise. The series of seventy
conventions In 130?-l0. which consti-
tutcd the campaign that year. were
conducted after only a small part Of
the preparation that Is being made for
the present series. Then there were
no divisions or state secretaries: now
there are seven. Then there were no
executive secretaries who had had eX-
pericncc In arranging and following up
conventions: now there are not only
experienced men. but also a great
body of experience upon which new
men can draw and In accordance with
which the entire campaign can be
planned and carried through. Then It
was mainly q foreign missionary prop
uganda that was cmpha sized; now
home missions are included and there
Will be needed emphasis on local church
efficiency. Then the dcnominational
boards and secretaries were making
no plans for cooperation such as they
have now carefully outlined. in some
cases calling missionaries home from
the field in order TO secure the maxi
mum of strength. Then there was no
following UP n convention: now this
is being worked out with no less pains
than the arrangements for the con-
vcntion itself
In fact what is proposed for each
city is not so much n four days con-
Hention as campaign of kingdom
education for laymcn extending through
two months or more to which the con-
rention Will be an Invaluable aid, but
not at all its end or elimination.
II became evident az Lake Geneva
however. that what will give this cam
paisn It's great message and pertinency
is tho present world situation. With
the greatest war in history going on
and with no present sign of its end,
there surely was never time when
II was SO imperative TO ask for Chris
tan men OF the nation TO come to-
Gether for counsel and to enlist and
re-enlist for genuine world conquest
which VIII mean not merely making
Christ known to people in non-Chris-
tian lands. but his real enthronement
AS Lord and Master in supposcdlv
Christian lands. No one need think
that this campaign will bring the mil
lennium. In order TO persuade himself
that the doing Of n thorough piece
or work in enlisting laymcn for the
hard and vital tasks of the kingdom
in seventy-tive centcrs throughout the
country Will be n priceless Influence
for the entire nation and indeed the
entire world.

Perfect Love.

We have never seen any human be-
ing whose love never failed The
parent or brother or husba nd or friend
whose love has meant more to us than
all other human love has. at one time
or another, been unloving. SAYS the
Sunday School Times. Perhaps we have
even occa sioncd unlove in them by our
own unlovc toward them. But suppose
we could have friend whose love
toward us and toward all others never
did waver never faltcred for an In
slant Of time. Could We ever turn
against such a friend? Christ is that
friend: and we have turned against
Him. When we think of His attitude OF
infinite, perpetual. unbroken love
toward us we must indeed cry out.
Alas. that l should ever
Have failed in love to Thee,
The only One who never
Forgat or sighted me!
Our Lard's perfect love for US ts be-
yond our powers of comprehension. But
we can yield to it In glad surrender
and trust. Then he can pour it out in
unbroken fulness through our lives
toward others. Because his love for us
never fails. our love for him and for
others need never fail.
