Education is the knowledge ot how to use the whole of oneself to attain the sublime end for which one was created. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool ot every faculty-how to keep it sharp and how to apply it to all practical purposes. If there are no tools in your kit for your SPIRITUAL FACULTIES, your tool kit is not complete. If they are there, but rusty and dull, you will not attain that sublime end for which you were Devotedly in Christ, ,QPJCLW created. REVEREND ALBERT A.
