SCHOOL OF CHRIST.

By H. A. St. John

H. A. ST. JOHN.

The Church of Christ on earth is the school of Christ. The text-books are the book of Creation and the book of Revelation. The study of these brings illumination, elevation, and salvation. In the study of all the sciences embraced in the books of Creation and Revelation the great All-father, the Creator of all, has lovingly and freely proffered to each and every sincere and diligent student an ever-present, all-wise, and infallible teacher, the Holy Spirit. This ever-blessed teacher will guide into all truth, and into the practice of all truth, that we, like the Author of all truth, may be sanctified through the truth, and thus become the personification of truth.

Let no student in the school of Christ think for a moment of making progress in the study of the science of salvation, or any other science, without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. There is such a thing as ever learning, and never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth, because the learner is not guided and taught of God through the Holy Spirit. Let us ask daily for the Holy Spirit's aid.
