- EDUCATION ITS F2IE2TD: THE BIBLE
'Ignorance Is a hideous monster. It casts a
; gloomy shadow over everything wherever it
treads. It fosters the sickly plants of error,
; and casts down truth lifeless to the ground,
i It withers every plant of genius upon which it
" breathes ; but crouches low, or slinks away, at
the approach of intelligence." Yet, strange to
'say7 there are many who embrace ignorance cs
c though it were an angel of light. It is a no
- torious truth, that there are many persons at
1 the present day who, notwithstanding the mul
tiplicity of means afforded for the acquisition
of knowledge, still content themselves tore
main in woful ignorance ! deplorable, indeed t
But this is not all. Besides being contented
to remain in ignorance, they are almost inces
santly busying themselves in trying to incul
cate their warped opinions into the minds of
;thers. The field in which they generally la
bor is one where a great amount of injury is
effected.' In grown, intelligent society they
"rarely labor. There their, absurdities would
-be exposed and contradicted ; therefore they
pounce cpon the yonng and unsuspecting.
They oi ten use their Influence, in every possi
ble way, to retard the educational movement,
and even go so far as to deprive their own
children of the benefits of the free school.
The strangest thing connected with this is,
that they seem to oppose the cause ol Educa
tion conscientiously. Were yon to ask those
Tery opposers in regard to almost any other
abject, and you would find them to have right
ideas. But against Education they ergs many
objections; and, indeed, some which, at first
sight, seem plausible. Among the many ob
jections, a strong one, with- them, is, that the
Bible is opposed to Education. But is this the
case ? Is the Bible really opposed to Educa
tion ? Reading the Bible caused men "to
study chronology, sacred and secular," re
marks an eminent author, "and here much
knowledge of history and some skill in astron
omy were needful." The new testament was
written in Greek, and what would be our pres
ent state if no person had ever applied him
self to that language ? We might now be
without the Bible ; or if we had it and wished
to read it, wo would have to study the Greek
language in the first place. Philosophers, as
tronomers, geologists, botanists, and many in
the other arts and sciences have acknowledged
the union between the Bible and learning.
Learning is a part of education. Many, very
many, have said with the philosopher, "the
Biblo has been my text-book." The Bible,
then, has been one of the grand preservers of
learning. v
But let us go to the Bible at once. ' Let it
speak for itself. We need not read far till we
hail the passage "God created man in his
own image." "We are informed in Collossians
8, 10 : that part of this image consisted in
knowledge. Then, we say, God created man
wise. That man was wise is evident from the
fact of his giving names to the different ani
mals. "He , gayo each creature its narae ;
and, as it appears, this name was expressive of
6ome essential characteristic or quality of tl.e
creature to which it was applied." Clarke.
Does not God desire man to be wise, since he
created : him so ? Although man was very
wise in his primeval state, yet he docs not pos
sess that knowledge now. Ilis wisdom does
not come without exertion on his part. This
be lost in the fall ; and all the knowledge man
gains is by study and application. It is man's
duty, as far as in him lies, to regain that state
from which ho fell. His reasoning powers are
darkened, and if be docs not cultivate that
faculty, he will be constantly running into
gross errors. That man is perfectly justifia
ble in gaining all the knowledge he can, is ev
ident from the case of Solomon. God told
him to ask what he should give him. And
Solomon said, "Give thereiore thy servant an
understanding heart to judge thy people, that
I may discern between good and bad." And
God instead of being angry, was pleased at
this. "And the speech pleased the Lord."
If God was pleased with Solomon's asking
wisdom, will he not be pleased with us, if wo
ask the same 1
Again, we have some worthy examples in
the Scriptures. Moses was aIearncd man.
lie was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyp
tians. If the Bible and God are opposed to
learning, why did not God choose some igno
ramus to lead the children cf Israel out of E
gypt 1 Some say that the apostles were un
educated men. 'Tis true they did not profess
to understand all the foolish and absurd tradi
tions of tho Jew3, and the vain philosophy of
the Greeks. But it is not all likely that the
apostles were ignorant men, after being under
the immediate tutorship of the Son of God for
the space of three years. Gaiuing wisdom is
recommended by the Bible. We have numer
ous passages to this effect. But a few need be
quoted to prove the position. "Get wisdom,
get nnaersianaing ; iorgci it not.-' Again,
"Wisdom is the principal thing ; therefore get
wisdom, and with all thy getting get under
standing." Now I have adduced a few of the
many proofs that the Biblo is favorable to ed
ucation. The subject cannot be treated very
lengthily in so limited a space. Perhaps I
have been to prolix already for our kind Edi
tor. But, I trust, enough has been said to
bring all candid persons to this conclusion
That tha Bible, instead of being opposed to, is
la favor of Education. Johnnie.

The Great Library Offer. Asents G'itttiz Rich .'
The union of EMRSON'S MAGAZINE and
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY has given to the consoli
dated work acirculation second to but one similar
publication in the country, and has seeurod for it
a combination of literary and artistic talent prob
ably unrivalled by any other magazine in the
world. During the first month, the sale in the trade
and demand from subscribers exceeded 00.l00 co
pies, and tho numbers already issued of the con
solidated work are universally conceded to have
surpassed, in the richness of thcirlitcrary contents,
and the beauty and profuscnefs of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before issued from
the American press. Kticournged by these eviden
ces of favor, the pnldishers have determined to
commence tho .11017 volume in January with still
additional attractions, and to offer such induce
ments to subscribers 11s cannot fail to place it, in
circulation, at the head of American magazines.
With thi3 view they now announce the following
splendil programme They have purchased that
superb and costly steel-plate cngravitg,
"THE LAST SUPPER,"
and will present a copy of it to every three-dollar
subscriber for the year lt53. It was engraved at
a cost of over S5.0UH, by tho late celobratcd A. L.
Dick, from the original of Knphacl Morghcn. after
Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest stecl-pl.ito
engraving ever executed in this country, being
three times the size of the ordinary S3 engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving arc held
at 510, and it wa3 the intention of tho artist that
none of the engravings should ever be offered for
a lc3S sum than S5, being richly worth that amount.
Thus every three-dollar subscriber will rcecivc
the Magazine ono year cheap nt S3 and this
splendid engraving, richly worth S5 ; thus get
ting for S3 the value of Eight dollars.
Wc shall commence striking off tho engravings
immediately, yet it can hardly be expected that
impressions of so l:ira plcto can be taken as fast
as they will be called for by subscribers. Wesball,
therefore, furnish them in the order in which sub
scriptions aro received Those who desire to ob
tain their engravings early, and from the first im
pressions, should send in their subscriptions with
out delay The ensrnving can be sent on rollers,
by mail, or in any other manner, as subscribers
shall order.
$20,000 IN WORKS OF ART.
