A dictionary gives mental and moral training as one definition of education. Contrary to much human opinion, it is not the mere accumulation of material facts and skills. True education is learning to understand more of God, Spirit, as divine Mind, and of man as Mind's idea, reflecting such immortal qualities as wisdom, intelligence, and spiritual understanding.
