CHURCH AND SCHOOL NUMBER And He is the head of the body, the Church; who is the beginning, the first bom from the dead; that in all thing. h e might hare the pre-eminence.” (Col. 1:18.) “ O thou chosen Church of Jesus, glorious, blessed and secure! Founded on the one Foundation, which forever ahaq endure; Not thy holiness or beauty can thy strength or safety be, But the everlasting love wherewith Jehovah loved thee.” “Whom He calleth He preserveth, and His glory they shall see; He is faithful that hath called you—He will do it, fear not ye! Therefore, holy brethren, onward; Thus ye make your call­ ing sure; For the prize of this high calling, bravely to the end en- dure.” (Havergal) “ Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the field of the fatherless; Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine, ears to the words of knowledge. My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.” (Prov. 23:10, 12, 15.)

CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS f§ What does the word .“ Christian” mean? The root of the word is ‘ Christ” , j Who is Christ? God manifest in the flesh, the Anointed One. A Christian school, then, must be a school founded upon Christ, where Christ is honored, respected, reverenced. It must, too, be a Bible’ school where the Bible is believed and taught. Well, where are these Christian schools? We call this a Christian nation. That means, of course, that Christianity is recognized, but the term “ Christian-nation” means a “ Christ-nation” or it means nothing, and if it means “ Christ-nation” it means also “ Bible nation” . Where are these schools? Well, they are schools where denials of God’s Word do not take the place of the declarations of God’s Word; where deduc­ tions do not take the place of demonstrations; where doubt is not injected rather than dispelled; where faith is not shattered instead of strengthened.
