Christian Education I t has been said that all learning may be divided into three classifica tions: 1) God — including all phases of religious study; 2) Man — including all phases of study pertaining to the humanities, such as history, language, philosophy, the various arts, etc.; and 3) the W orld -— including all of the phases of scientific study, the natural sciences such as astronomy, geology, chemistry, etc., and the life sciences, biology, zoology, etc. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent in developing secular colleges and universities in an effort to teach young people more about the humanities and the sciences. But, alas, the secular institutions leave out the first and by far the most important of these great divisions, namely a recognition of God and His ways with man. Even in many Christian institutions so much emphasis is placed upon the general studies of man and the sciences that comparatively very little time is left to learn of God and His relationship to man. It is tragic to see so many young people cheated out of a well-rounded training by attending schools where God is never recognized or where He is relegated to a place of secondary significance. The entire Bible'college movement throughout the country has been developed in recent years in an effort to combine proportionately these great areas of study. For Christian educators are of the conviction that the subject of God and His relationship to man is the most important study that can possibly engage the attention of students. Not only is this subject treated in detail in specified classroom work, but in every course of study God is given His proper place as Creator and Moral Governor. And He is recognized as being actively imminent in the life and affairs of mankind and indeed all of His creation. We believe this to be the true purpose of all Christian education. Parents whose desire it is to have their young people receive the very best and most complete educational training possible, and young people themselves who have such a desire in preparing for their life’s work, are urged to consider prayerfully the college which offers the most thorough and truly Christian education. • • How You Can be a Better Witness ¥¥Te never permit an issue of T h e K in g ’ s B u sin e ss to be planned with- WWout including several “must” features. One of these is material to ■ ■ help our readers give a better witness for our Saviour. Many of you have found our “ In Christ Is Life” feature each month a definite help in this business of witnessing. You will recall that this feature was started three years ago. Then this January we started an other feature designed to reach the non-Christian, “How Christianity Works.” This month you will find these two special monthly features on pages 11 and 12. W e have placed them back to back so that by cutting out only one page you will have them both in handy form to pass along to your friends and loved ones. Let us know if you like this arrangement. By the way, we still have copies of the special “ This Thing Called Christianity” issue. This issue is packed from cover to cover with attrac tive presentations of the claims of Jesus Christ. Price is just 25c each or five copies for $1, postpaid.
