By WILLIAM CULBERTSON, D. D, Of The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. IT IS well for us to face squarely such a topic as the one assigned. It is particularly necessary to review the biblical standards with regard to holiness of life, since the day , in which we live is one of lowered conceptions. You will probably remember the story of ?the celebrated artist who was renowned because of his ability, to put on canvas colors of accurate hue and great beauty. His secret was that he kept a number of valuble gems of all colors. He would turn frequently from his painting to" study the color of these gems. We need to spend time with the precious gems of the Word of God that we may clearly understand . how he Would have us live. I. True Wisdom Involves the Fear of Jehovah (Prov. 2:1-5). TN THTT nr.pninff phantpr of Prnv

erbs. Wisdom is oersonified.

Anyone 'Who believes in Jesus Christ cannot help understanding something of his relationship to wisdom. In him "are hid all the treasures .of wisdom . and knowledge", (Col. 2:3)". To those of us who trust him, he has been made unto us wisdom (I Cor. 1-30). i In thisj passage in Proverbs the point is that if we observe his commandments, if we incline our ears

unto wisdom, if we apply our hearts to understanding, lfwe long for dis

cernment, as earnestly as we wouia seek for silver and hidden treasures, we shall understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. . God will meet every individual who really wants to know him. Said our Lord, "If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know . . (John 7:17). II. True Wisdom involves Holiness of Life (Prov. 2:10-17; 4:14-17; M-4

, 'TpO truly know God Is, of course, to be spared the heartache which results from being deceived by sin and Satan. When wisdom enters the heart, the result is discretion and understanding (Prov. 2:10, 11). Thus God delivers ns from the way of evil and from men that speak evil things (v. 12).

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Spirit, is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, August 10. The Golden Text is: "Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness" (Psalms 143:10). Among the citations which eomprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" (II Peter 1:5-8). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, '"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The understanding and recognition of Spirit must finally come, and we may as well improve our time in solving the mysteries of being through an apprehension of divine Principle. At present we know not what man is, but we certainly shall know this when man reflects God" (p. 90). ST. MARY CHURCH Mass Schedule August 10 Shelburn, 7:30. Sullivan, 9:30.

Attention should be given to tht description of these evil men in verses 12-15: they speak perverse things: they forsake the oaths of

uprightness; they walk in the ways of darkness; they rejoice to do evil;' they delight in the perverseriess of evil; their paths are crooked and wayward.

Deliverance from . the strange I woman Is likewise vouchsafed, as, we have true wisdom. The descrip- i

tion of these women is informative flattering, forgetful of both friends j and God; their lips drop honey, their mouths are smoother than oil. , Notice the conclusion of the

"matter: In the end they are bitter as wormwood, 'sharp as a twoedged sword, their feet go down to death, and thefr steps take hold on Sheol. . , i How much we need God's wis- . dom in this world. It is easy to be deceived.

the ways of God. s IV. A Representative of True Wis dom (Prov. 31:10-12). "PHIS passage describes the wise f- woman. She is indeed to be extolled. The worthy : woman, the woman who loves God,- the woman who is therefore wise, is in price far above rubies. Sin's History (James 1:13-15).

Suppose it were cm automobile He was taking; would you still want him to get away with it? What the boy is doing is very human, isn't it?. But is it right or wrong? , . . .

Those who want to build a better world are constantly concerned with the problem of right and wrong. . - . " ' ' The Church, too, is vitally concerned with that problem. Its leaders and its followers have, spent long hours studying, praying, living, to find the best and truest answers. The Church has good, realistic answers to the questions of right and wrong, answers all men need, answers that, 'if followed, will build a better world.
