When we come again to ask, What is the high- est attainable? we must judge with all humility, and yet — counting God our helper — without cowardice. Such preparation for such high ends demands time and pa- tience. God sent His prophets to the wilderness — what a waste of time and force, some of our too eager youth will say — yet they learned deeper lessons of God in the desert fastnesses than were taught in the schools of human philosophy. Yet others God set in schools of human thought; Moses i...n the schools of Egypt, Saul in the school of the Rabbins. The Lord himself did not begin His ministry till He was about thirty years of age. A ma- tured mind in a fully developed body is essential to the best results, and these are what our colleges aim to give. The American college of to-day is not a fortuitous aggregation of educational influences, but a combination of the carefully chosen and well tested means and meth- ods of making not merely scholars, but men. Under healthful conditions of growth the best ideas of all coun- tries have been tried and so far as they have proved sat- isfactory adopted.
