LIVING FOUNTAINS or BROKEN CISTERNS,
By E. A. Sutherland
An Educational Problem for Protestants. By PROF. E. A. SUTHERLAND, Is a work on education, which has a field entirely of its own. One of the greatest problems that confronts Seventh-day Adventists is the correct education of the children and youth. “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” is a work that points out the dangers of following the old, or pagan, system of education, shows the necessity of adopting a system of education that will lead our children to Christ, and gives valuable aid in obtaining this much-desired end. It is as a bright and shining beacon light, showing the snares and pitfalls of the false education, and at the same time clearly pointing out the correct way. Every teacher and parent should possess a copy, and carefully study it. “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” contains 380 pages, printed from new type, substantially bound in cloth. Price, $1.25.

DEAR BROTHER SUTHERLAND: I have carefully read “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns,” and I think the book is calculated to do much good. It sets forth the principles and the history of true education, together with the growth of Protestantism, and also the educational system of the papacy. Having read the book, I can but wish it were placed in the hands of every family, that all might see the influence of pagan and papal schools. Our youth need an education that is practical. The Bible is the foundation of Christian education; and where it is necessary to have books, the books used should contain nothing but truth, that their influence upon the mind may be helpful. “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” shows the absolute necessity of making the Bible the foundation of Christian education, and I recommend it to all our people.

REVIEW AND HERALD: I have recently had an opportunity to look carefully through the new volume by Professor Sutherland, “Living Fountains.” It is an excellent work, and the best presentation of educational reform in the truest sense, which I have seen. I wish it might be in every family. It should be carefully studied as a textbook by parents, and by all who have to do with children.
