Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Christian College You will allow me to address myself to you all, as Guardians of the School, whose principal charge you have seen fit to assign to me. I hold the office at your pleasure, and by your good will. On no other terms could I ever wish to hold it; and this, not only because my brethren are the persons with whom, above all others, I desire to be associated, but also and more, because the school is yours - founded, built up, and supported by the Church to which we all belong; and now, as one generation passeth away, and another generation cometh, resting on your hands, the sons come up in the place of the fathers. Believing with you, that all events are so many Divine appointments - for even the lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord - I recognized His hand in the circumstances which have led me to this place, and I accepted the conclusion as the ordering of His Providence. Looking only at myself, I had shrunk from the difficult and solemn trust which it imposed - the more when I thought of the men whom I was to follow in this work.

D., May 27th, 1880, at the Laying of the Corner-Stone of Stone Hall Whereas my late husband, Daniel Perkins Stone, of Malden, was pleased to express his affection and confidence in me by committing to my disposal the large fortune he had accumulated, it is my desire, as a servant of'the Lord Jesus Christ, to devote a portion of this inheritance to the higher and distinctively Christian education of my own sex.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ten years after its publication in 1975, The Idea of a Christian College has become, in the prophetic words of Nicholas Wolterstorff, "a classic, a standard." Widely used by students, lay readers, teachers, and administrators, it provides a concise case for the Christian college and defines its distinctive mission and contribution. This revised edition is Holmes' response to the many professors and students who have read the work enthusiastically and urged the author to clarify certain ideas and to address further aspects of the overall subject. The author has extensively revised several chapters, has eliminated one-gender language, and has included two new chapters: "Liberal Arts as Career Preparation" and "The Marks of an Educated Person."--Back cover.

Download or read book James Harris Fairchild written by Albert Temple Swing and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Harris Fairchild: Or Sixty-Eight Years With a Christian College Few colleges of our country have chronicled a term of service so distinguished and so long as that rendered by James H. Fairchild. The aim in the preparation of the present volume has been not only to preserve the memory of his charming personality, but to see some of the really significant features of his life and work in their historical setting. In him we see the simplicity and grandeur of that Puritanism in America which had so much to do in the settlement and Christianization of our great interior and middle west. He is himself one of the noblest embodiments of a humanized form of the New England conception of Christian life and citizenship. The history of the genesis and development of the distinctively Christian colleges of America, together with the contribution they have made to the stability of our national life has not been written. It is our confident belief that the annals of one family in primitive Western Reserve will be found to have a vital place in that significant history. Many of the alumni down to the classes in the seventies have been consulted in the preparation of this volume, and some invaluable contributions have been received. Special acknowledgments are due to Mrs. Lucy Fairchild Kenaston for indispensable assistance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Conceiving the Christian College written by Duane Litfin and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2004-09-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help those who are interested in Christian higher education explore anew the unique features, opportunities, and contemporary challenges of one distinct type of educational institution -- the Christian college. What distinguishes Conceiving the Christian College from the many other books on this subject is its incisive discussion of a set of crucial ideas widely misunderstood in the world of Christian higher education. Now serving in his eleventh year as president of one of the nation's foremost Christian colleges, Duane Litfin is well placed to ask pressing questions regarding faith-based education. What is unique about Christian colleges? What is required to sustain them? How do they maintain their bearing in the tumultuous intellectual seas of the twenty-first century? Litfin's themes are large, but they are meant to refocus the conceptual challenges to Christian education in ways that will strengthen both the academic environment of today's Christian colleges and their impact on culture at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian College: An Address, at the Centennial Educational Meeting, Held in the M. E. Church, Napa City, California, February 15th, 16th and 17th Every forward movement of the race has had its origin and inspiration in some great thought which has awakened and kindled to a blaze all the powers of the soul. History is but ideas worked out into deeds, formulated in declarations of rights, decisions of councils and courts, and which, after long con ict, have been crystallized in constitutions and organized in churches and states. Free thought has been the instrument in all reforms; religious ideas the origin of all great intellectual achievements and race-lifting. We are closing the first century of our organic existence as a church. We measure events by years, but God does not measure moral movements by our almanacs.

This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of the Women's Department of the Canton Christian College Our Chinese people are already convinced by the results in the mission schools of the necessity of educating girls. The Women's Department was really be gun as early as 1900 by Mrs. O. F. Wisner at her home in Macao. The story of the Girls' School in 1903, connected with the College, has been told by Mrs. Woods. It was the eager desire of our Chinese staff to see this work continued, and I took into my home seven girls, under the care of my wife, Who were admitted to the boys' classes. Since we admitted these girls many men and women of high rank as well as others have begged us to admit their girls to our College, but we have had to deny all these requests. I am confident that as many girls will apply for entrance as we wish to admit, and that their parents will pay the same fees as those paid for the boys, and that our Chinese friends will contribute liberally toward the running expenses and buildings.

And as it is owned the whole scheme of Scripture is not yet understood, so, if it comes to be understood, it must be in the same way as natural knowledge is come at; by the continuance and progress of learning and Of liberty, and by particular persons attending to, comparing and pursuing intimations scattered up and down it, which are overlooked, and disregarded by the generality of the world. Nor is it at all incredible that a book which has been SO long in the possession Of mankind Should contain many truths as yet undiscovered. For all the same phenomena and the same faculties of investigation, from which such great discoveries in natural knowledge have been made in the present and last age, were equally in the posses sion Of mankind several thousand years before - Butler.
