A Low View Of Law

A Christian Boy Or Girl Can Learn Mathematics, For Example, From A Teacher Who Is Not A Christian; And Truth Is Truth However Learned. But While Truth Is Truth However Learned, The Bearing Of Truth, The Meaning Of Truth, The Purpose Of Truth, Even In The Sphere Of Mathematics, Seem Entirely Different To The Christian From That Which They Seem To The Non-christian; And That Is Why A Truly Christian Education Is Possible Only When Christian Conviction Underlies Not A Part But All, Of The Curriculum Of The School.

Place The Lives Of Children In Their Formative Years, Despite The Convictions Of Their Parents, Under The Intimate Control Of Experts Appointed By The State, Force Them To Attend Schools Where The Higher Aspirations Of Humanity Are Crushed Out, And Where The Mind Is Filled With The Materialism Of The Day, And It Is Difficult To See How Even The Remnants Of Liberty Can Subsist.

Indifferentism About Doctrine Makes No Heroes Of The Faith.

I Can See Little Consistency In A Type Of Christian Activity Which Preaches The Gospel On The Street Corners And At The Ends Of Earth, But Neglects The Children Of The Covenant By Abandoning Them To A Cold And Unbelieving Secularism.

The Truth Is That The Materialistic Paternalism Of The Present Day, If Allowed To Go On Unchecked, Will Rapidly Make Of America One Huge "main Street," Where Spiritual Adventure Will Be Discouraged And Democracy Will Be Regarded As Consisting In The Reduction Of All Mankind To The Proportions Of The Narrowest And Least Gifted Of The Citizens. God Grant That There May Come A Reaction, And That The Great Principles Of Anglo-saxon Liberty May Be Rediscovered Before It Is Too Late!
