The Advocate for December
By Editor
The fourth volume of The Advocate is complete with the December issue. This number will be especially interesting to parents and teachers. In the past, as a denomination, we have prided ourselves upon our acquaintance with the prophecies. The history of nations brought to view by the prophets has been studied, even by the lay members of our church, more thoroughly than by most other people, but the history of education has been passed by. As the study of the prophecies has given force to our work in the world, so the study of the history of education will give point to our efforts in behalf of the Christian training of children. The December issue of The Advocate devotes eight or ten pages to this subject. It shows conclusively the attitude which the church should maintain toward its children, and answers the question, Why should Christian schools be maintained? In all communities, where a church school is conducted, the people have a right to know the reason for our faith. The December issue of The Advocate will answer many questions which have probably already risen in their minds. Those living where there is no Christian school should use the December Advocate to create an interest in opening such a school. In the words of Walter H. Page, “The mute appeal of neglected children is to you the voice of God.” The December Advocate meets this appeal. Address The Advocate, Berrien Springs, Mich.
