THE CHURCHES AND TODAY-S SERVICES
The Consecration of School Life
Sermon by
H. H. Tompkins.
Christianity has a relation to our lives in every particular and so it is wise for us to think how, as Christ has, we ought today. Our schools and colleges are opening, thousands of children and young people begin their school year. And those of us who have graduated are called upon by the many to advance in knowledge by reading and thought, for education is a perpetual means, and it is never completed. We all ought to be earnest, and always.
A nation has risen to be thankful for her educational system. So country has so many and abundant schools and colleges as the United States, and the army of teachers, with but few exceptions, is composed of men and women who are willing to help those who are younger with the world.  Illness to the insufferable, unbounded admiration for our American teachers and professors there are and there we strive; a man, and women, who has lost faith in God and his work, and who, alas, to speak lightly of the truth and the faith of the young. It is an awful sin to create.
