education. The attributes of God as seen in His created works can be
appreciated only as we have a knowledge of the Creator.
The teachers must be acquainted not only with the theory of the
truth but must have an experimental knowledge of the way of holiness
in order to lead the youth to the fountains of truth, to the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sins of the world. Knowledge is power for good
only when united with true piety. A soul emptied of self will be noble.
Christ abiding in the heart by faith will make us wise in God’s sight.—
Manuscript 44, 1894.
Whole Being Open to Healing Agencies of Heaven—Christ is
the wellspring of life. That which many need is to have a clearer knowl-
edge of Him; they need to be patiently and kindly, yet earnestly, taught
how the whole being may be thrown open to the healing agencies of
heaven. When the sunlight of God’s love illuminates the darkened
[17]
chambers of the soul, restless weariness and dissatisfaction will cease
and satisfying joys will give vigor to the mind and health and energy
to the body.—

Graces Not Developed in a Moment—The precious graces of
the Holy Spirit are not developed in a moment. Courage, fortitude,
meekness, faith, unwavering trust in God’s power to save, are acquired
by the experience of years. By a life of holy endeavor and firm adher-
ence to the right the children of God are to seal their destiny.—
