Cedarville College Bulletin, October 1922

"Only religious education can bring permanenl order out of thf' chaos of the present, for things never can be right until people arc right, and people will not be right until they are right at heart m ideals, motives, will an<l habits." - Bishop_Reese. "The need of the hour is not more factories or materials, not more railroads or steamships, not more armies or more navies, but rather more education based on the plain teaching of Jesus. "We are willing to give our property and even our lives when our country calls in time of war. Yet the call of Christian education is today of even greater importance than was ever the call of the army or the navy. I say this because we shall probably never live to see America attacked from without, but we may at any time see our best institutions attacked from within. "I am not offering Christian education as a protector of property, because nearly all the great progressive and liberal movements of history have been born in the hearts of Christian educators. I do, however, insist that the safety of our sons and daughters as they go out on the streets this very night is due to the influence of the preach– ers rather than to the influence of the policemen and l~wmakers. Yes, the safety of our na~ion, including all groups, depends on , Christian education."-Roger Babson. A French lawyer's address to a jury: ''My task is very easy. The accused has confessed; a defense is impossible. And yet I want to add a few words. There on the wall I see the picture of the Crucified-and I pay homage to it. There it hangs in this hall of justice, where you condemn the guilty. But why do we not hear anything of him in our schools to which you send your children? Why does Sandot, the murderer, for the first time in his life see the Crucified here in this hall where the law will punish him? If the attention of my client had been directed to the Crucified when he still sat on the benches of the school, he would not now sit here on the bench of infamy." 'fHE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE "Properly to plant and nourish a Christian college is one of the highest priveleges of Christian men and women. There is no soil so productive as mind, and no seed so fruitful as ideas. He who wishes to do the greatest possible good, and for the longest possible th~e, should nourish the fountains of learning, and help thirsting youth to the water. Beating hearts are better than granite monu– ments. "-W. F. King. -8-
