God would have us study the history of his dealing with men and
nations in the past, that we may learn to respect and obey his messages,
that we may take heed to his warnings and counsels.—

It is not education or intellectual ability that will bring souls into
the light of truth. The power to move souls will be found when you
practise the lessons you have learned in the school of Christ.—

It is not the highest work of education to communicate knowledge
merely, but to impart that vitalizing energy which is received from the
[240]
contact of mind with mind, of soul with soul. It is only life that can
beget life.—MS.
* * * * *
The lessons of Christ are for every soul to learn and practise. This
is higher education.—.

Those who seek wisdom in the study of the world’s authors, are not
drinking from the pure fountain flowing from the throne of God.—
