Genius Denied

• Jesus sought an avenue to every
• heart. By using a variety ofillustrations, He
  not only
• presented truth in its different
• phases, but appealed to the
• different hearers.

• Their interest was aroused by figures drawn
  from the surroundings of their daily life. None
  who listened to the Saviour could feel that they
  were neglected or forgotten. COL

• As a church, as individuals, if we would stand
  clear in the judgment, we must make more liberal
  efforts for the training of our young people,
  that they may be better fitted for the various
  branches of the great work committed to our
  hands.

7

• We should lay wise plans, in order that the
  ingenious minds of those who have talent may be
  strengthened and disciplined, and polished after
  the highest order, that the work of Christ may
  not be hindered for lack of skillful laborers,
  who will do their work with earnestness and
  fidelity. CT 43

There is among us to much clinging to old
customs, and because of this we are far behind
where we should be in the development of the
third angel's message. CT 533

• It is the work of true education to develop
  this power, to train the youth to be thinkers,
  and not mere reflectors of other men's thought.
  Instead of confining their study to that which
  men have said or written, let students be

10

• directed to the sources of truth, to the vast
  fields opened for research in nature and
  revelation. Let them contemplate the great facts
  of duty and destiny, and the mind will expand and
  strengthen.

11

• Instead of educated weaklings, institutions of
  learning may send forth men strong to think and
  to act, men who are masters and not slaves of
  circumstances, men who possess breadth of mind,
  clearness of thought, and the courage of their
  convictions. Ed 17.2

12

• In the study of figures the work should be made
  practical. Let every youth and every child be
  taught, not merely to solve imaginary problems,
  but to keep an accurate account of his own income
  and outgoes. Let him learn the right use of money
  by using it.

13

• In this way every study may become an aid in
  the solution of that greatest of all problems,
  the training of men and women for the best
  discharge of life's responsibilities. Ed 239.1

14

• For ages education has had to do chiefly with
  the memory. This faculty has been taxed to the
  utmost, while the other mental powers have not
  been correspondingly developed. Students have
  spent their time in laboriously crowding the mind
  with knowledge, very little of which could be

15

• utilized. The mind thus burdened with that which
  it cannot digest and assimilate is weakened it
  becomes incapable of vigorous, self-reliant
  effort, and is content to depend on the judgment
  and perception of others. Ed 230.1

16

• Seeing the evils of this method, some have gone
  to another extreme. In their view, man needs only
  to develop that which is within him. Such
  education leads the student to self-sufficiency,
  thus cutting him off from the source of true
  knowledge and power. Ed 230.2

17

• The education that consists in the training of
  the memory, tending to discourage independent
  thought, has a moral bearing which is too little
  appreciated. As the student sacrifices the power
  to reason and judge for himself, he becomes
  incapable

18

• of discriminating between truth and error, and
  falls an easy prey to deception. He is easily led
  to follow tradition and custom. Ed 230.3

19

• Every youth should be taught the necessity and
  the power of application. Upon this, far more
  than upon genius or talent, does success depend.
  Without application the most brilliant talents
  avail little, while with rightly directed effort
  persons of very ordinary natural abilities have
  accomplished wonders.

20

• And genius, at whose achievements we marvel, is
  almost invariably united with untiring,
  concentrated effort. Ed 232.3

21

• Every human being, created in the image of God,
  is endowed with a power akin to that of the
  Creator-- individuality, power to think and to
  do. The men in whom this power is developed are
  the men who bear responsibilities, who are
  leaders in enterprise, and who influence
  character.
