worked. When He is the most powerful influence in their lives, they

entrusted to them, and filled with His Spirit they will be animated
with the same desire to save sinners that animated Him. And by
their lives of consecration and devotion their students will be led to
the feet of the Saviour.

received. Without this, however they may study, however much
knowledge they may gain, their education will be incomplete.
