Education's Weakness and Strength
By Sunday School Times
TRAINING of the mind never strengthens a man's moral character. "The greatest failure is an educated failure," a philosophy teacher has said. Sin and education can, and often do, go hand in hand to unreckoned limits. And the reason is that the overcoming of sin is never possible to the natural man, no matter how highly educated he may be. It is possible only to God; and God works this overcoming of sin only in such human lives as have, by receiving Christ as Saviour, let the Spirit of God bring to birth a new life, even the life of God, where only the natural and hopelessly sinful life existed before. Then education can indeed come into its own with mighty results, as God intended. With Christ as our sole moral strength, it is our duty to put into His service all the education that He makes it possible for us to gain.—Sunday School Times.
