Character and Conduct – 9 December – The Object of Education
If we succeed in giving the love of learning, the learning itself is sure to follow.
If we succeed in giving the love of learning, the learning itself is sure to follow.
We shall be agreed once more that the noblest fruit of education is character, and not acquirements:
READING furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; It is thinking makes what we read ours.
WHEN I consider what some books have done for the world, and what they are doing, how they keep up our hope, awaken new courage and faith…
I give eternal blessings for this gift, and thank God for books.
if we knew ‘the hour and the day’ of our Lord’s return we might be tempted to behave a little more like Christ as the Day approaches. And what kind of fair-weather (or more correctly Apocalyptic-weather) disciples would that prove us to be?
When we cry out to God and God replies by using our name our healing begins. But will we continue to follow along the way?
The alternative is not between good habit or no habit, but between good habit and bad.
The only power struggle in the Church of Christ should be that of competing for the last place!
True greatness is not found in ruling.
True greatness consists in serving!
We cannot hold on to the blessings of Christ if our hands are wrapped around something, anything, else.
We will not enter into the joy of our Father if we continue to seek fulfilment in the things of this world.
