FEducation is, an evolutionary
process" he declared, reminding
that CLARK must not be judged
by its short span as moulder OF
men and women--that time alone
will vindicate its spirit, its objec-
tive and its motive"
The focal point of his remarks
stemmed from a quotation by the
famous English historian, H c.
Wells, who has written: "Civiliza-
ton is a race between education
and catastrophe" DR.. King recon-
mended an amendment TO this
declaration and said: Education
is a race between Christian educa-
ton and catastrophe" Adding that,
Christian education is fundamen-
tad to any concept of education
that accent on Christian feeling is
a basis, 3. life philosophy.
In closing the Bishop, using an
axiom from what he described as
the "old book said: Except the
Lord build the house. they build
in vain who build it," His final
words hinged on the Clark genera
tions to come-thoSe who drink al
these fountains, 1 hope. may depart
It's halls with spiritual vision and
spiritual stamina" That THE
kingdom of God is the realm and
rule of Righteousness and the
Clark ideal, the world ideal, is the
building of men and women under
the impact of these Christian in
stitutiOnS.
