over, there a re men and women whose Engli sh education is ve ry deficient , but who have certa in g ifts that qualify them for many fo rms of Chri stian work, and they are often used to larger effectiveness than men and women who have had a thorough college education. M r . Moody himself, was not an educated man from the scholastic standpoint, but he was used as no other man of hi s generation. Therefore it is the poli cy o f the Institute to receive men and women of th is type. These cases , howeve r , a re excepti onal, and wherever one is young enough to get a good common grammar school and high school education before coming, it is desirable that they do so .
