Practical Missionary Work a<br />

Branch of Education<br />

(A part of this Testimony is contained in<br />

"Counsels to Teachers," Page 545 ff.)<br />

Bible study is to lie at the foundation of all true<br />

education: but more, far more than a mere<br />

theoretical knowledge of Bible truth is required. It<br />

is not enough to fill minds of the students with<br />

precious lessons of the deepest importance, <strong>and</strong><br />

then leave lesson after lesson unused. Missionary<br />

work should be done by suitable ones, that they<br />

may learn to impart that which they have received.<br />

Those to whom light has been given are not to seal<br />

up the precious ointment, but are to break the bottle<br />

<strong>and</strong> let the fragrance be shared by all around. There<br />

are those among the students who have precious<br />

talents. Our counsellor says, "Let the talents be put<br />

out to usury."<br />
