Digging For Truth

Christian Education

 

  Now, as never before, we need to understand the true science of education. If we fail to understand this, we shall never have a place in the kingdom of God. “This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent” ( John 17:3). If this is the price of heaven, shall not our education be conducted on these lines?—The Christian Educator, August 1, 1897, par.4. { 1MCP 53.2}

 

"True education does not ignore the value of scientific knowledge or literary acquirements;  but above information it values power;  above power, goodness;  above intellectual acquirement, character. The world does not so much need men of great intellect as of noble character. It needs men in whom ability is controlled by steadfast principle.”
