Education and National Reform

By N. Y. Observer

EDUCATION is a power in any land. It has been said by an experienced missionary, concerning the great empire of China, "Win her scholars and you win China." Scholars have a great deal to do with the making of any nation of which they form a part. But it is only education with the religious motive and spirit introduced into it which effectuates any changes for the better in national life. China, for example, will not be won to anything very much better than it is or has at present, until it is won to Christ, and so to civilization in the truest sense.
