Good Things

EDUCATION is more in knowing where good things are to be found than in an attempt to keep in mind all the good things known. There are too many existing good things for any mind to retain, but most of the repositories of good things can be known and remembered. To these the truly educated person can readily refer, and garner useful information as he has occasion to apply it in meeting life's obligations.

A good thing is hard to keep. We often hear the expression, “That’s too good to keep.” Most people like to pass on a good thing. That is the Bible principle; hence if we know the home of the good things, we can afford to pass them on, for we know where we can find them when we want them.

According to this interpretation of education, the thousands of Life and Health readers are educated in matters pertaining to health, the most essential science of life. Without health the greatest minds are worthless, while with health an ordinary mind may become great. One of these educated Life and Health readers has just sent the following word of encouragement to the editor:—

“I have subscribed to your magazine for years, ever since I first heard of it, and I would not be without it. Every new number that comes, I think I must keep for the good things it contains, but I always pass it on to some one else.”

If you are not a Life and Health reader, you are missing many “good things.”
