‘It can not be gotten for gold,Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.It can not be valued with the gold of Ophir,With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.The gold and the crystal can not equal it;And the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.No mention shall be made of [gems];For the price of wisdom is above rubies.” Higher than the highest human thought can reach is God’s ideal for His children. Godliness – godlikeness – is the goal to be reached. Before the student there is opened a path of continual progress. He has an object to achieve, a standard to attain, that includes everything good, and pure, and noble. He will advance as fast and as far as possible in every branch of true knowledge. But his efforts will be directed to objects as much higher than mere selfish and temporal interests as the Heavens are higher than the Earth.He who co-operates with the Divine purpose in imparting to the youth a knowledge of God, and moulding the character into harmony with His, does a high and noble work. As he awakens a desire to reach God’s ideal, he presents an education that is as high as Heaven and as broad as the universe; an education that can not be completed in his life, but that will be continued in the life to come; an education that secures to the successful student his passport from the preparatory school of Earth to the higher grade, the school above.”
