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?

A report just issued by V. L. Lea
of the Commodity Economic Re
search Department, covering in
tensive surveys in four leading soy
bean producing states, shows that
in 1945 the total acreage of 1,397,-
727 was needed to produce the soy
beans used for the manufacture of
margarine. This is an increase
over 1936 of over 1,300,000 acres.
The report also shows that in 1945
soybean oil used in the manufac
ture of margarine amounted to
approximately 206,643,000 pounds.'

T ESTS show that Champion
Farmer Rank's Firestone
Champion Ground Grips will
clean up to 100% more effec
tively, pull up to 62% more, last
up to 91% longer, and roll
smoother over highways than
any other tractor tires.
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.
Like Champion Farmer Renk...
and other cost-conscious farmers
... you will get more pulling power
and longer life if you specify
Firestone Champion Ground Grips
for your new tractor ... or buy
Champions for your present
tractors.

CHAMPION
GROUND GRIPS
A FARM CORPORATION, one of the first, has en
abled Champion Farmer William F. Renk, Sun
Prairie, Wisconsin, and three sons, Walter, Wil
bur and Robert, to build an efficient and profit
able farm business. Last year, on 1053 acres in 7
farms, they produced more than 3 million pounds
of grain and livestock . . . more than enough to
load a freight train a mile long. Purebred Hamp
shire and Shropshire sheep earn top awards . . .
bring highest prices. Their hybrid seed com and
certified seed grains are in demand. Soil fertility,
through fertilization and an efficient cattle and
hog plan, is high. Last year 50 acres of Forvic oats
yielded 102 bushels per Acre. Farm work is
mechanized to the limit. The Rents, shown below,
