A TRUE knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ is in itself a most liberal education. There is in it more incentive to mind growth than is found in the classics or higher mathematics; more incentive to soul growth than is found in all philosophy and worldly science; more incentive to highest manhood than in all the human systems of morals from Confucius and Buddha to the end of time; more ground for hope and cheer and courage than in all else that can be gathered together from the beginning to the close of human history. All that is of true worth is in harmony with it; and nothing that is at variance with it can contribute to the welfare of man. That is why the psalmist could say, “I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” The Spirit through Paul, utters the same great truth in these words: “That they may know the mystery of God, even Christ, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.” Col. 2:3. That is why the theme of salvation will be the science and song of the redeemed to all eternity.
