A Time changes, and changes of the times help to make us time conscious. “Our time of being in and of the earth is almost over, so wrote Ray Bradbury in “LIFE;” September 14, 1962. Almost 2,000 years ago, Paul wrote, “it is high time to awake out of sleep. Romans 13:11. This dispensation began with preachers of the Bible “turning the world upside down. Chris¬ tians were Bible believers, Bible lovers and Bible students. But TIME brought changes. The educated priest¬ hood kept the Bible from the common people. His¬ tory records the sad result: the Dark Ages. TIME saw the rise of a new day. The Reformation with its “back to the Bible emphasis made the Bible available to the common people. The German language was stabilized by Luther’s Bible, ’vjv and the English language was stabilized by the English Bible. A foundation was laid for education of the masses. J» Education in English-speaking lands was solidly based on Y -j the Bible. TIME has again brought changes. As. Dr. Witmer Jl states, “education today is in a far country. i When education departs from a Bible foundation it . ' becomes dangerous and perhaps, time will reveal, often j devilish. TIME has proven that it is better to be edu¬ cated in the Bible without a College education, than to be educated in College without a Bible education. There is a place for higher education, a very neces¬ sary place. Education in its place is a very wonderful thing. But let us face this fact: “japan is educated hut she is heathen.” Education cannot remove heathen darkness. If for no other reason, this reason alone makes the work of Bible school extremely important. The entrance of God’s Word giveth light. Eternity will reveal the important place the Bible has had in TIME. £ r 7 When our capabilities are of God, we will never be incapable.
