“Evolution throws a wonderful light on all the struggles, eccentricities, tortuous developments of the human conscience in the past. It is the only theory of morals that does. And evolution throws just as much light on the ethical and social struggle today; and it is the only theory that does. What a strange age ours is from the religious point of view! What a hopeless age from the philosopher's point of view! Yet it is a very good age, the best that ever was. No evolutionist is a pessimist.” HumansDoeLightAgeTodayPastSocialReligiousViewsMoralStruggleWonderfulAtheismStrangeTheoryDevelopmentEvolutionConscienceVery GoodPhilosopherPoint Of ViewHopelessEthicalPessimistEccentricity Author:Joseph McCabe

But we hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that the Lord the Holy Spirit is the supreme educator of mankind, and that the culmination of all education (which may at the same time be reached by a little child) is that personal knowledge of and intimacy with God in which our being finds its fullest perfection.” GivingMayChildrenLittlesSeemsSpiritReligiousLordMankindExamplePossibilityDivineHolyPerfectionVery GoodInsightSupremeIntimacyHoly SpiritSecularEducatorIntimacy With GodCulminationReligious EducationPersonal Knowledge Author:Charlotte Mason
