Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inaugural Address, Delivered on the 7th July, 1858, Before the Trustees of the La Grange Synodical College Trustees, Patrons and Friends of the La Grange Synodical College: It is with extreme diffidence that I rise to address you on the present interesting occasion, and upon the deeply momentous theme of Education; a theme which connects itself with everything that is great, patriotic and holy, and involves the deepest problems in Politics, Ethics and Religion. After the eloquent and solemn address which you have heard from the appointed organ of the Synod, you can justly appreciate the magnitude of the interests involved. It is enough to make the Faculty tremble under the solemn responsibility. It is not our purpose to discuss the abstract question of Education, or the respective duties and rights of the Church and State, but to give a brief outline of the argument which justifies the Church in her Educational policy, and consequently this Synod, in her attempt to endow an Institution for the promotion of learning on a Christian basis. Originality on such a theme would be impossible, and will not be attempted. All that can be done is to collect, arrange and present such a train of thought as shall justify our position in the eyes of an enlightened and unprejudiced community. Our first argument is, that the Church, in all ages, and under both dispensations, claimed this right, and, with a greater or less degree of fidelity, executed this hallowed trust. "It would certainly be a serious thing for the Church either to omit a high duty, or to intrude violently into matters belonging to other authorities, not less divinely instituted than itself." - Such is the language of a learned writer opposed to denominational or Church education, yet we adopt it as a correct premiss, and shall proceed to demonstrate that she has understood her mission; that she has a divine warrant for her faith and practice.
