The Tabernacle Pulpit.

By A. J. B.

SABBATH, January 11, the Tabernacle service was devoted to the interests of Christian education. The principal speakers, Elders W. A. Spicer and S. H. Lane, were assisted in the services by Elder M. G. Huffman, Brother Jean Vuilleumier, and Elder I. D. Van Horn, pastor of this church. The difference between the world's education and that which should be given to Seventh-day Adventist children was clearly pointed out. While the public schools are perfectly adapted for the training of citizens for the State, yet the children of Seventh-day Adventists who are looking for the soon coming of Jesus, should receive special instruction and training to prepare them to proclaim this great truth to the world. There are three kinds of schools, said Elder Lane: (1) the home school, (2) the church school, and (3) the school of life. Of the three the first is the most important. Examples were cited of noble Christian mothers who had given to the world its best men—men who carried with them through life the Christian stamp of their early home training. A. J. B.
