Education and the Gospel

A note in the Detroit "News Tribune" says: "Fifteen young men who felt called of God to the Christian ministry went to a certain state university that was regarded most highly of any for being pervaded with Christian influence; its president a minister of the Gospel. When these men came out only five had any inclination to enter the ministry. And some of these were befogged with serious and enfeebling doubts." This instance shows the general tendency toward which our institutions of learning, especially the universities, are drifting. The effect is easily traced to the cause: departure from the simple truths of the Gospel as illuminated by faith in the infallible Word.
