Working With Science
293
The Handmaid of Religion—There must be schools established
upon the principles and controlled by the precepts of God’s Word.
Another spirit must be in our schools to animate and sanctify every
branch of education. Divine cooperation must be fervently sought.
And we shall not seek in vain.
The promises of God’s Word are ours. We may expect the presence
of the Heavenly Teacher. We may see the Spirit of the Lord diffused
as in the schools of the prophets and every object partake of a divine
consecration. Science will then be, as she was to Daniel, the handmaid
of religion; and every effort, from first to last, will tend to the salvation
of man—soul, body, and spirit—and the glory of God through Christ.—
