Lighthouse
OF
Civilization
The History of Education . •.
in the United States reveals the powerful influence of
Christian schools and colleges and universities upon
our civilization—Senator Walter F. George, Georgia.
Christianity . . .
is the fundamental hope of civilization. Christian edu
cation is necessary in order to establish Christian citi
zenship, and Christian citizenship is necessary in order
to establish the principles of Christi
anity in law and government-
Senator Morris Sheppard, Texas.
Christian Education
is education which finds a life motive
and standard in Jesus of Nazareth.
There never was a time when the
ideals of Jesus were so demanded as
• they are now. The college truly
devoted to such education has here
tofore rendered an incalculable serv
ice and on its record deserves the
support of all men. The college that
henceforth will employ the ordinary
subjects of education with the view
to establishing the Christian standards
CUPI5TIAN and ideals will prove indispensable
to human progress. We ought to
build up every such institution.—
Senator Josiah W. Bailey, North
Carolina.
