the mountain top in prayer Clearly,
1t was the matured philosophy of
Jesus that not many wise, not many
noble, not many mighty, were to be
counted as kingdom pillars. His build
ing must be with raw material-and
some Of 1t proved surprisingly raw.
No political campaign committee was
ever chosen with the care spent on the
Twelve. Jesus understood that this
cabinet Of His would have to carry on
His work after His departure. In q
sense, the fate OF the world depended
upon their fitness and fidelity. II they
should prove recreant to their task; If
they should fail to deliver the message
that their Leader was drilling into
them then there was no other hope
for humanity. The organization would
go to pieces. This biggest business in
the universe was dependent upon the
loyalty Of twelve common men!
Getting q Real Education.
Something happened-something so
great as to be staggering. That some
thing is not merely marvel OF his
tory. but a direct admonition for the
youth of today. 1t was the qualifying
OF the Twelve for their task by asso-
citation with Jesus. These rank COM
moners became great men-the great
est-because they kept company with
Christ. Their message and ministry
not only turned the world upside down,
but it also turned them inside out, COM
pletely revolutionizing their character
and capacity. These men were remade
by their Master and their mission.
This is stupendous truth which,
while the psychologists catalogue it,
the world of pedagogy in practice
ignores it. There is more Of real
education in a great purpose. a great
experience. and q great association
than in all the books OF all the uni
versities.
Our continent in its prosperity has
turned with zest toward the idea of
a college education for legions of
young people whose parents never
dreamed of such a thing for them
selves. 1t may be said that the
Nation is stalking its future upon edu-
cation. Without disparaging by one
iota this extra aordinary opening the
doors of learning to the multitudes,
1t needs to be said soberly that what
the world most needs today is more
OF the kind of education which the
apostles received.
Once let a generation Of young
people come under the sway of Christ
and His aims. and have their deepest
springs Of life touched by His power
and pure passion; once let their am
bit!ons become audacpusly selfless;
and as magnificent as Christ's king
DOM conception; and as fearlessly de-
voted to Righteousness as were His
then We shall see the solution of the
perplexities which have been handed
down unsolved from age to age. The
higher education" which qualities one
for largest service Is that which is
obtained only in the school Of Christ.
