Not Ashamed

THE apostle Paul declared that he was not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the reason was that it was a power for good. The principles of Christian education are the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and, indeed, we should not be ashamed of them. It is true that we ofttimes come short in making of them all that we ought, but the “principles” are not to blame for this.

The world ought to know of the great truths of Christian education; for they are identical with those of the gospel. In the book “Education” these principles are set forth in a clear, beautiful, and forceful manner. This book should be in every Seventh-day Adventist home, and every Seventh-day Adventist should see that every one in his vicinity has an opportunity to read it. Thousands of copies of this book should be placed in the homes of the world. Its reading will tend to lead men and women to a study of the doctrines of this message, and to cause those who do read to have an appreciation of the importance of a harmonious education for every child.

We are to be the head and not the tail in educational matters, and in every good work that makes for the betterment of man, his enjoyment of this life, and his hope of the life that is to come; and this book is a powerful factor leading us to see our opportunities, and teaching us how to make the most of them. Every one should read it.
