Wisdom and Understanding

The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.—Job, 28:28.

BY HERBERT S. FULLER.

I suppose there is not a Christian Scientist in the world who is true to the teachings of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, and who is loyal to her who discovered and founded this great Truth cure, who does not daily, yes, hourly, pray for wisdom and understanding.

Nobody so realizes the absolute need of possessing these great qualities as does the Christian Scientist, for he knows that they are the virtues necessary to illumine his pathway, and that it is by their practice that the sick are healed and the sinful reformed, and that above all other things they are to be desired. "More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold."

Great as they are acknowledged to be from a material or worldly standpoint, they are magnified an hundredfold when the searchlight of Truth is turned upon them, and their spiritual meaning is revealed in letters of light that cannot fade away.
