I'm So Thankful For The Active Obedience

A Public-school System, If It Means The Providing Of Free Education For Those Who Desire It, Is A Noteworthy And Beneficent Achievement Of Modern Times; But When Once It Becomes Monopolistic It Is The Most Perfect Instrument For Tyranny Which Has Yet Been Devised. Freedom Of Thought In The Middle Ages Was Combated By The Inquisition, But The Modern Method Is Far More Effective.’ (1923)

Certainly It Does Make The Greatest Possible Difference What We Think About God; The Knowledge Of God Is The Very Basis Of Religion.

In The Sphere Of Religion, As In Other Spheres, The Things About Which Men Are Agreed Are Apt To Be The Things That Are Least Worth Holding; The Really Important Things Are The Things About Which Men Will Fight.

It Is Impossible To Be A True Soldier Of Jesus Christ And Not Fight.

A Christian Boy Or Girl Can Learn Mathematics, For Example, From A Teacher Who Is Not A Christian; And Truth Is Truth However Learned. But While Truth Is Truth However Learned, The Bearing Of Truth, The Meaning Of Truth, The Purpose Of Truth, Even In The Sphere Of Mathematics, Seem Entirely Different To The Christian From That Which They Seem To The Non-christian; And That Is Why A Truly Christian Education Is Possible Only When Christian Conviction Underlies Not A Part But All, Of The Curriculum Of The School.
