He addressed the Staff and the students of the T. I. Ahmadiyya Secondary School in Kumasi. The PIONEER carried the following report in its issue of April 22. USE KNOWLEDGE TO SERVE, STUDENTS TOLD Students have been advised to use their knowledge to serve and redeem but not to enslave, because knowledge is a divine gift which must be used for the good of mankind. Addressing the students of T. I. Ahmadiyya Secondary School here yesterday, His Holiness Mirza Nasir Ahmad, Supreme Head of the Ahmadiyya Movement, advised students to be honest and sincere in their service to God and man. He said the world cannot go on unless people become honest and maintain their relations with their Creator. His Holiness who is currently on a two-day visit to Kumasi, as part of his one week visit- to Ghana, observed that man cannot succeed in any undertaking without the help of God, and appealed to the students to be alive to their religious duties. It will be foolhardiness, His Holiness said, for one to depend on one's own cleverness alone because everyone needs the guiding and helping hand of God. He warned the students against the dangers of going after only the material things of life and said it is of the utmost importance to strive rather for spiritual excellence than to acquire the material things of life. He advised the students to be faithful to themselves and their ideals, keeping in mind the power of God and His grace to man. His Holiness appealed to the students to translate their ideals into practical reality and called for humility among them. Speaking to over 8000 Muslims later at the opening ceremony of the NC 24,000 Ahmadiyya Muslim House here, His Holiness Nasir Ahmad declared that the time of divine succour to Ghana and indeed the whole of Africa has dawned. 34.
