Sin not only shuts us away from God, but destroys in the human soul both the desire and the capacity for knowing Him. All this work of evil it is Christ's mission to undo. The faculties of the soul, *paralyzed by sin, *the darkened mind, *the perverted will, He has power to invigorate and to restore.
The result of the eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is manifest in every man's experience. There is in his nature a bent to evil.......To withstand this force, to attain that ideal which in his inmost soul he accepts as alone worthy, he can find help in but one power. That power is Christ. Co-operation with that power is man's greatest need. In all educational effort should not this co-operation be the highest aim? 
The great principles of education are unchanged. They stand fast for ever and ever  (Psalm 3:8); for they are the principles of the character of God.
