God in Education offers a sermon on how faith shapes learning and character for graduates.

This 1852 discourse invites new graduates to pursue truth, love, and moral purpose as guiding forces in a world that tests integrity. Rich with practical exhortation and timeless questions, it frames education as a spiritual journey that links personal virtue with public service.

In this edition, you’ll encounter a clear call to live by truth, to cultivate love as a governing power, and to commit to the betterment of others through learning. The speaker blends religious conviction with civic responsibility, urging students to become courageous, compassionate leaders who stand for justice and the common good.

A compelling argument that truth and integrity should guide every decision and action
A sustained emphasis on love as the core motive and measure of character
A view of education as a sacred project that shapes minds, hearts, and communities
Historical insight into 19th‑century religious higher education and its hopes for students

Ideal for readers of historical religious writings, moral philosophy, and students of education in America’s 19th century, this volume offers both inspiration and a window into a past debate about faith, learning, and public life.
