this minister have been thinking? Science! Christ could have opened door after door of
science. He could have revealed to men treasures of science on which they might have
feasted to the present time. But knowing that this knowledge would have been

Dark Hours of Trial Are to Come to Everyone as Part of His Education.--That
night in that boat was to the disciples a school where they were to receive their
education for the great work which was to be done afterward. The dark hours of trial are
to come to everyone as a part of his education for higher work, for more devoted,
