CHRIST"k PIONEER iISTCA BYREN. . The folhwing is the full text of Dr. Hallian',s address Founders Day at Ne vberry College: When Cicero began his memorable speech in behalf of Pompey he con gratulated himself. and -his audience on the richness and glory of his theme-and well he might. But what would that immortal orator have said -had my theme been given him on which to shower his matchiless elo quenee ? Not one hero, not one proud viotor of a hundred battles, but a mi,hty host, a.etuated by the sublimest purpose that ever throbbed in the human breast: men of God, reaizing that the most importat thought, possible of expression ir any language of the world is that of Christian Education. Not the ab sorption of knowledge in itself con sidered, not the simple gleaning o: facts from the great storehouse ~ol the world's literature; nor yet the mastery of arts and sciences, or th< acquisition of that, culture whiel opens to men the ma.rbled halls o: polite society. These, and mor( than these: The training of the head the heart, the soul, the conscientce and the life for God and the right fitting men for service to the church to the State, and to the world, cul minating in a glorious immortality h'ereafter. Tnat was the high pur pose of the Founders of this school the one thought along whose plan they moved, ard that the need the sgought to supply. And I shall attempt'to show that aos the gulf stream moves onwar( through the mighty seas, never ma teriall,y. swerving from its c-ourse, s the founders of the Institution i whose interests we -have met wer, never deflected from their purposi by the storms which met them in thm way, but moved ever onward to th oal. And let me say, in, passing, That distinctively Christian education i ju V as important now as in the day of our fathers. No observing min -can have failed to note that mauch o the education of our time is skepti cal in essence a nd character-leagin; a way fiom the transeendental to' th material, from the spiritual to th purely natural, undermining the fait of the God of our fathers, arnd pus1h - ing men to the verge 'of that 4arl cold abyss, down which they gazi *and exclaim, "I dono't know.'' Many teachers now openly den: *the miraculous, and attempt to die place the eternal truth of Go.d by th iinproved theories of men;.when, a a matter of fact, t:he skepticism o the world demands of us belief in fa more incomnprehensibly and~ diffical things than our holy religion re *quires at our hands. - Accept the doctrine of the one :Su preme God-creator, preserver, an< ru-ler of all, and you have a basis o: which to reasonably explain all the phenomena of the sworld. *De-ny that grimal truth, and yot drift out on a sea of darkness fron iyhose gloomy waves rescue is im posible. Far be it from my purpose to d'is parage the work of the schools of the States, for well do I know that the first tea.eher in the school from which this college grew was an honor grad uate of the old South Carolina col lege; that the sainted Dr. 0. B. . Ma;yer, Sr., came out from its classie halls-and many others whose man tles we well might covet; but the genera-l fact remains that the great ' universities of today are in large part the incubators of. the rankest skepticism, not to say, infidelity. - The educators even of the State schools of the generations back of us were spiritua.l leaders, builders of character, intent on a high degree of spiritual culture; but that eannot now be said of many of the great see ular schools of this a?ge. Agnosticism is the pole star of many present day scientists, and .the class-room is not always congenial to religion. Chris tian arents now ask "Where can we safely send our boys to be edruca ai?' Many go to Oxford, or Yale, sr Harvard, or even nearer home, and return without any keen sense of religious responsibility, and often with positive aversion to the Chutrch of God, and her high Mission. Intellectualism is now the trend of scholast-ic life; men grow restless under the faith of their fathers, talk about the formulation of new creeds, and do not enter as heartily as they shiould into the activities of the Church. The spiritual vision of m a is louded, they are driftine EDUCATION iiE iiEWBERRY COLLEGE. .LILMAN, D. D. away. _uese facts are all the more alarm ing since many of the brightest young men from the secular collegez are readily employed as teachers in ,ar public schools, often being pre ferred; and these, by insinuation o otherwise, are inject.ing the vines of the, so-called, "new thought" intc young and tender minds, and casing them, unconsciously to relax their 'hold on the life-giving power of thE old Gospel, and to drift with the per verted tide away from the Churel and God. The fact is eternal that, ir exa ct proportion to the drift of mer from God and the Church is the prub lie conscience deadened, graft, op pression,. and vileness increase, and every moral pollution follows. Hence the infinite importance ol our Church schools, our denomina. -ional colleges.-To these the Churci mast turn as the conserving force it he intellectual culture of our race of coming generations, and as th( prime agencies in the uplift of th( home, the State, and the nation. The greatest thinkers of the ag( are coming to this inevitable conela - sion, and to realize the force of thi. truth. Not war upon the State col . leges, not antagonism to them, :bu insistence upon the Christian idea . in all, educ,ation. "The welfare of i State," said Luther, "depends 0 the intelligence and virtue of it T citizens; "-and these vital interest can be best conserved by a Christiai education. That education wh.i& I does not lead from nature to nature' . God is defective, dangerous! Tha; a school which 'does -not quicken th conscience, ennoble the heart, and. e] evate the moral life is subversiv e both of the interest of Church an a State-it is the enemy of God an e man! We must have, and maintai a schools of higher educationt-Co 3 leges, urniversities, technical ii s stitutes ~and schools of seienet a but these must be pitched o: f the high plane of moral and religiou .responsibility, and made. to serve th g Chureh as well as the State. We dar e Inot tolerate godless schools no mal e ter what their advantages, or thei h intellectual greatness.
