alipoji the thronging army of
people whose hearts are blaz
ing with the fire of education
and whose lives are devoted to
the work of God. No longer
can we sleep, no longer can we
while away the precious mom
ents which God lias given us,
the greet ladder of education
has been let down in our
midst, and not only one by
one do they go up, but in great
multitudes, reaching for the
beautiful roses tlmt decorate
the top, where they can drink
from that crystal fountain
whose waters gusli out of the
tide of culture and refinement.!
No longer are the good
people content with their sons
gnd daughters being hewers of
wood and drawers of water,
serfs and slaves to ignorance
knowing that God has a miss
ion for each and every one, a
strong effort is being made to
develop the brain, strengthen
the understanding, cultivate
the heart, and fit them for the
various positions o? life.
We can no longer allow the
mind, a celestial gift of God, a
Speck of heavenly fire, kin
dled by supreme intelligence,
to perish on the shores of light
and knowledge of the twen-i
_tieth century.
Though after all our neglect.
in this great matter, it is with !
peculiar pride, that we take a
retrospective view of the past,!
and see that education hand in i
„ liana with religion, as it goes '*
’ marching over this great world *
of ours, will bring about a rev
olution mpre wonderful and
'‘ ‘ i
, powerful than all the past, and
-a new army will be placed in
r the field of education, the cul
tivation of the heart, and the
establishment of right princi
. ipies will be supported as never
before, and the broken
fragments of tlie cloud of ig
• norance left liehind will have
a silver lining.
From the beautiful valleys, 1
1 and lofty mountains whose '
peaks reared high in the light
iof heaven, with their sun
• painted cliffs and deep ravines,
. we have caught the inspiration
and accepted the stirring com
. mand “Amplius,” (broader, j
i wider, better.) Now let us
- improve it.
• For when we "come to con- !
1 template the vast amount of ,
talent with which our country '
c is blest, if only developed, j
fWe can not tell the power •

there is in water as it courses
, its way down our valleys, but
when we confine it and change
its form, we see a power that
' has revolutionized the commer
cial world, wheeling her cars
freighted with immense ton
nage from shore to shore, !
neither can we tell tlie power
there is in the mind of the
■ little infant that sleeps in its 1
mother’s arms, but place it in
•school, give it a chance’for
developement. cultivate the
powers of its mind, and yon
will see it go out into tlie
world a power for God, for
widening the sphere of knowl
edge.
Education is instruction,
the formation of manners, and
it is our imperative duty to
develop and improve the pow
ers of the mind; for if we 1
would fill the various positions
of life successfully, we must j
educate, cultivate, improve and '
develop the powers which
God has given us, and not let
it perish for that life giving
foc>4, that lifts its up to higher
heights. *.
Education is free,knowledge
is free, and when we see tlia t j
thousands are rallying to the j
standard of the great organ
ization of education, undivided
by sectional lines, unbiased bv
sectional prejudice, united bv
common interests, and
j blazing with that promethian '
fire, reaching from mountain
to peak, and from valley to
hill, spreading like the wild
fire in the desert; our last leap
(with joy, and we are made to
ithank God that we live in the i
j sunrise of the twentieth cen- \
tury. We have good schools
(established in almost everv
• county, every town and everv
; community. Schools that are
doing a great work that will
Ibe felt and realized ages yet

and shaping tlie character of
millions yet unborn, that will
stand out in the battle field of
bxl, and like brave soldiers
fight until the dark clouts jafc.
ignorance are driven.flFira
sight.
\\ hat we want is more de
termined men and women in
. the field to rally around the
, altar of education, those whose
lives have been purified in the
great furnace of cultivation,
whose noble character elevates
them like eagles on strong
wings and their influence pulls
with them a living host that
i are live wires in the field of
duty.
j. There cannot fct a. grander
! theme to engross tlie attention
I of all classes than the subject
which has to do with the train
i ing of the intellect. The
j subject of education is fraught
with a deep interest to all who
have a just appreciation of‘its
i merits. It should be of inter
est to all within the pale of
civilization, in as niuefi as the
happiness of all classes is *on
nected with the subject, ed
: ucation is development, it is
i not simply instruction, facts,
and rules communicated by
the teacher, but it is discipline
a making up, a development
of latent powers, a growth of
the mind. It finds the childs
mind passive, it trains it to
tbirk independently, it awak
ens its power to observe, to re
flect, to confine.
Education should have ref
erence to the whole man, the
i body, tlie mind and the heart.
Its object, and when rightly
conducted, its effect is to make'

! Education, strictly speaking
, covers the whole area of life. I
It is the word which means all
that God asks of us. It ex
! presses the sum total of human
duty. Nor is* it confined to j
| the present period of life. For '
,: aught we know, education may |
be. continued in Heaven,;
reason may continue to widen
: its'power and deepen its san
ctities there, the affection mav
grow in beauty and fervor
through immeasurable ages,
ajitid niay expand and inten
sify through eternity. Edu
cation is a work of progress,
it begins in life »and has no
eg, we learn the elements of
things below; above we will
study' their esseuc?. It has
been, wisely ordained that |
light should have no color, j
water no taste, and air no
odor, so knowledge should
be equally pure and without •
admixture, with reverent
hands the world at large has
crowned intellect with richest
honors, its pathway has been j
strewn with flowers, its brow !
has worn the loftiest plume, i
it has held the mightiest scep
ter a jxnver and sat upon the
proudest throne. He who
neglects to improve his men
tal faculties or fails to train all
his powers of mind and body,
is not walking, in those paths
which-under God’s guidance
I conduce most surely to hap
piiiss and content.
