Words from a Heavenly Instructor

In no case should students be allowed to take so many studies that
they will be prevented from attending religious exercises.

None but He who has created man can effect a change in the human
heart. God alone can give the increase. Every teacher is to realize that
he is to be moved by divine agencies. The human judgment and ideas
of the most experienced are liable to be imperfect and faulty, and the
frail instrument, subject to his own hereditary traits of character, has
need to submit to the sanctification of the Holy Spirit every day, else
self will gather the reins and want to drive. In the meek and lowly spirit
of the learner all human methods and plans and ideas must be brought
to God for His correction and endorsement; otherwise the restless
energy of Paul or the skillful logic of Apollos will be powerless to
effect the conversion of souls.
