CASE AND COMMENT

education but in escaping 1L The prime function of education is, of course, to acquaint men with the truth, to put them in poesesslon of it, and to enable them to uae it fruitfully. Such, at any rate, ie the Bible theory. For we are told that the Spirit of God is "the Spirit of Truth," that “He shall teach you all things.'* and

"guide you into all truth:

But at least men should be taught —or should know—what Ufe really ie before they begin the serieus business of participating actively In it. If they are without this knowledge. If they are taught to believe that there are no "rebuffs,*’ but that life Is an sany

ment, and probably be,without power to masted It. Great, therefore, is the crime of those who depict life falsely, who idealise away all its realities

tlon is certainly a part of education, and a very important part, but it ia not the whole of it. There are many teachers who draw no salaries—example. experience, and. as has been said, life Itself. Joy and sorrow, good fortune and ill fortune, prosperity and adveibity—all have their lessons. "Teach me O God the way that I should go.” sing* the pagan poet. There is, as will be sesa, no lack of opportunities. The question is one of improvlfig and making the most of them. “Therein the patient must min-

ister to himself."

and slackers, ^he , , evil, can not hope for It, alnce It Is the portion only of those of whom it can be said that they “fought a good fight.” Truth is much' more than mere veracity—U Is reality, and takes hold on eternity. Jesus Christ puts Himself before the world, and holds Himself up to men as "the ’truth.” It is necessary to think of

it in this definite way.
