True Wisdom
Lesson for October 31, 1948
7f iff
Dr. Foreman
WHAT Is the most Important thing in the world? What is worth " more than anything else? Some would say Money; some Power; some Goodness;
some Truth. Another answer is given by the writers of a group of books, two of which are included in our Bible. "Wisdom is ' the principal thing; therefore get wisdom," they say.
T U U - 4
. MVVA9 V Proverbs and Ec
clesiastes In our Protestant Bible, and the books of Ecclesiasticus and the Wisdom of Solomon in the Apocrypha, all have this viewpoint and are therefore called the Wisdom Literature. Other writers In the Bible divide the human race into the Good and the Wicked, or the Believers and the Unbelievers; but these writers see mankind as the Wise and the Foolish. The books they wrote (especially Proverbs)' were intended particularly for those who are so far neither, foolish nor wise that ? to say, the young.
Knowledge Is Not Wisdom WISDOM (as these writers use , the word) is not the same thing ias knowledge. A person may know "a great many things and still be a iooL Or he may not even know how ;to read and write, and yet be wise. Some modern writer has said: Knowledge is knowing what to do; skill is knowing how to do it; and
these put together. But the special feature of the , "Wisdom Writers" is this: True wisdom begins with the fear of God. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom . . . the knowledge of God is understanding." In other words, wisdomwithout religion, without faith, is foolish after all. We can see how in our times the story of the Nazis has shown this once more to be true. The German Reich of 1935-1939 had the best of
the science of the world; they harl scholarship and wealth and "know-
how" in many fields; but they rejected God and defied his church and so a nation was destroyed. ' We too may profit by their examtile. We of the western nations have
wealth, and technical skills beyond any other peoples, we have the Mom bombs but have we the wisdom without which all these things are but as torches in the hands of madmen?
University on Ant-Hill KNOWLEDGE may be expensive. It costs a great deal of money to know what it takes to be an engineer or a surgeon. Wisdom, strange to say, is less expensive. It is in fact on such a low shelf that most people pass it by. Consider where the "Wisdom Writers" tell us we may learn wisdom. One place is experience. "Experience keeps an expensive school, but fools will learn in no other and hardly from that," says a more modern proverb. Many of the proverbs in our Bible are simply distilled drops . of experience. "A soft answer . turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger," for example. Do you need an angel . ' from the sky to tell you that? Another source of wisdom is just Nature herself. "Go to the ant, thou sluggard (lazy fellow) ; consider her ways and be wise." A lazy man is a fool; but how shall he learn to be wise? Not by reading books just by watching the ants. Inspired Common Sense A FORMER governor of Virginia used to say that during his term of office he received more practical '. help from reading Proverbs than from any of the books on political .science in his library. For the sci
ence, or the art, oi government is simply one specialized form of that most important art, getting along with people. And the Wisdom Literature shows us how it is done. Some people think that Inspiration is always mysterious, and that the Holy Spirit would not stoop to : . : .. ,i. .. ,1 J 1 - t
insane wuat we tumu icam ui cuijr ordinary way. But the Christian church, when it declares Proverbs (for example) inspired, expresses her belief that there is such a thing as Inspired Common Sence. God may speak to us, and does ., 1, if ma nrlll Ilctan lit tlia

All truth is God's truth, even when . we find it in our own backyard. ;"' (Copyright by the International Council 'of. Religious Education on behalf ot 40 Protestant denomination!. Released by .

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Everlasting Punishment" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, (October 31. The Golden Text is: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Galatians 6:7). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail." (Isaiah 16a6, 12). "A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit" (Proverbs 29:23). "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5). 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: "Selflove is more opaque than a solid body. In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to, dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error, self-will, self-justification, . and self-love, which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death" (p. 242).

It is often a disappointment to see the summer season end. Flowers and leaves will soon be gone. Warm, sunny days will soon be replaced by cold, dreary ones. Outdoor activities will be few. And yet, there are compensations. Who does not delight in tasting the first pumpkin pie of the season? And who does not enjoy tramping through brightly-colored autumn leaves? And then follows sleigh-riding in the snow, cozy evenings before an open fire; and then Spring again. Each season of the year brings "new pleasures to replace the old ones. Just as God gives us many and enduring blessings in the changing seasons, so does he offer us rich spiritual rewards. Month after month, season after season, and year after year, the Church stands readyand willing to give us comfort, hope, and inspiration. Great success or utter failure may await us. Either may be disastrous. We can better face the many changes in our, daily living by attending the services of the Church.
