Ot The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. p'JDUCATION is so widespread in our day, and so eagerly sought after, that one might assume that the world would soon solve Its prob lems through the cultural attain ments of its people. Why this is not true appears clearly in our lesson; for it Is wis dom that the world needs, and wisdom is quite different from the understanding or memorising of a mass of facts. Wisdom teaches us how to use knowledge effectively for the glory of God. We see in our lesson: I. The Meaning of Wisdom (Prov. 1:1-5). DROVERBS are pithy, useful say- * Ings, which gather up the wisdom of a people in easily remembered form. They are highly thought of in all nations, but reached their high est development among the He brews, because they rightly insisted that they must be related to God and worship of him. We learn in this passage that they are given to us that we may “know” that we have both wisdom and instruction. The growth of knowledge is always a prerequisite to growth in grace—learn more about God and his precious Word, and you will have more of his grace upon you. Knowledge must be coupled with discernment (v. 2), which speaks of going beyond and below the surface meaning. This will not be an abstract love of the schol arly, but a practical application of truth to life (v. 3). Wisdom re sults in right living and proper dealing with our neighbors. The one who has come to this place is ready to give (v. 4) help to others, especially to the young or those of “simple’’ thinking, who have not yet reached the place where they can get hold of such things for themselves. Notice that the wise man does not stop at that point, but because he is wise he goes on to more and more understandings, to further receiving and giving out of “sound counsels" (v. 5). Observe next, n. The Value of Wisdom (Prov. 3:13-18). "THE character of a man shows ap In the things he holds to be valuable. Some cannot see beyond gold and silver. Others seek com fort and convenience, and do not wish to be disturbed in their easy ways. The wise man knows that for real pleasure of the highest type, for peace of mind and heart, for riches that will last and not bring, him into either sin or sorrow, there is nothing like the cultiva tion of understanding and wis dom. This scripture affords us the op portunity to say a needed word to young people who are being so sorely tempted these days to forego their opportunities for an education, and to rush out into the world to make money, more money, yes, the most possible money. Education seems to be unneces sary, a waste of time and effort. But wait, the years will come and go, and then when it is too late, the realization will come that a golden opportunity was missed, and that doors of usefulness and effective ness are now closed. It pays to give time to the cultiva tion of the mind and of the heart in preparation for life. We are not thinking primarily of the dollars and cents value now, for that is secondary, even though it may be important HI. The Source of Wisdom (Prov. 9:9, 10; James 1:5). G OD is the source of wisdom, and it is as a man fears him that he becomes wise. The fear of God is not a matter of fright or terror, but rather a genuine concern that one may do his will and never fail to be obedient to his guidance. God is always more ready to give than we are to receive. He will not turn us aside, or belittle our efforts; but will, if we ask, give wisdom, and that in no little measure. Let no man think that he can attain unto true wisdom apart from a right relationship to Gcd. He may have knowledge, but not wisdom. On the other hand, let no man who knows God and serves him go through life lacking wis dom when all he has to do is to ask it of his heavenly Father. Why be poverty-stricken when you can be rich in wisdom and understanding? Released by Western Newspaper Union.

Only Firestone Champion Ground Grips are made with con nected curved traction bars. The curves . . . and the connections ... give the bars far greater strength than those on any other tractor tires. They eliminate the excessive bending and wiping and rapid tread wear of broken center tires. The curved bars cut -into the soil with a sharp, plowlike action. Mud and trash fall freely from tapered openings between these powerful traction bars. The continuous con tact of the connected curved bars with the highway insures a smoother ride.
