JUSTUS CLEMENT FRENCH
American clergyman (1839 - )

It is a grand thing to train the human mind in the academy and in
the college and university to great intellectual achievements.
It is a grand thing for you to leap, as it were, by the lightning
of your thought, from crag to crag of discovery. It is well to
make paths for tender feet through the morasses and over the
mountains of study. These bring honor and power. But it is also
well to remember that the diplomas of colleges and universities
can never bring pardon for sin; that all the scholarships and all
the titles in the world can never bring peace to the dying. Oh,
brethren, it is this discipleship with the Man of Galilee who
trod the wine-press alone, and carried His cross up Calvary's
hill; this discipleship with the man Christ Jesus, that
constitutes the moral and spiritual power in our work. That
power it is yours to impart to the children under your care.
Aye, this is grander than all human achievements.
