WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on August 22, 1965.]

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all they getting get understanding (Prov. 4:7)

Smith suggests the following as representing a more exact rendering of the Hebrew words: "Above all things get wisdom; whatever else you get, get understanding"; while the Revised Standard Version reads, ''The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight." Delitzsch sees the basic thought as being, "Give all for wisdom; no price is too high, no sacrifice too great for it," noting as a parallel the extreme value attached by the Master to the kingdom of heaven (see Matt. 13: 44-46).
