Education of Our Youth


" Philosophical speculation and scientific research in which God is not acknowledged are making skeptics of thousands. In the schools of today the conclusions that learned men have reached as the result of their scientific investigations are carefully taught and fully explained; while the impression is distinctly given that if these learned men are correct,the Bible cannot be. Skepticism is attractive to the human mind. The youth see in it an independence that captivates the imagination, and they are deceived. Satan triumphs. He nourishes every seed of doubt that is sown in young hearts. He causes it to grow and bear fruit,and soon a plentiful harvest of infidelity is reaped."
(from The Ministry of Healing).
The author's view on skepticism is so true.
Parents must keep a very close watch on what their children are being taught in public and private schools. A disdain and lack of respect for the Christian faith which was once exclusive to colleges and universities has now come upon our middle and high schools.
