Christian Education
149
God will accept the youth with their talent and their wealth of
affection, If they will consecrate themselves to him. They may reach to
the highest point of intellectual greatness; and if balanced by religious
principle they can carry forward the work which Christ came from
heaven to accomplish, and in thus doing be co-workers with the Master.
The students at our College have valuable privileges, not only of
obtaining a knowledge of the sciences, but also of learning how to
cultivate and practice virtues which will give them symmetrical charac-
ters. They are God’s responsible moral agents. The talents of wealth,
station, and intellect are given of God in trust to man for his wise
improvement. These varied trusts He has distributed proportionately
to the known powers and capacities of His servants, to every one his
work.—
