Indeed, it should be said to their enduring credit that tn many fields they take ho second place in this respect. To those who do not believe in the resurrection progress ends with the grave, while to others it necessarily continue ea forever. Symmetry of Development Escs tial to Endurance. In order to possess strength, beauty, and endurance man's education must be symmetrical. Like a tree on the mountain side, fca roots must be deeply planted in the soil and Its branches well flung In the air, otherwise its permanency la not assured and Its security to seriously threatened. A single rod extending upward from the tree; ground does not constitute anecesdivergent branches are as sary as the central stem. Likewise, man trained in science or religion alone is likely to be biased In his concepts and wArpcd in his judgments. History affords almost numberless illustrations of this fact. A well. developed brain, like a beautiful house, cannot be constructed entirely of one material. Variety la essential to both beauty and utility. An ideal man Is therefore not only thoroughly trained in the tenets of the Gospel but also In science. business, and government. He Is conversant with all the problems of human progress; he is zympa-ti-n tic with truth in all its aspects; he is quick to understand the viewpoints of others; and he Is helpful to those who need him. Men trained In a single line of thought never attain this height. A high degree of specialization often leads il ,. i,r tti1 1 n ..... f ff. t n m't c r. i.ioti toof !, ,o. d b.
