Topic.-Books that delight and strength
en.-Prov. iv. lie.
In these first nine verses OF the fourth
chapter of Proverbs solomon exhorts
us TO get wisdom and understanding.
He tells of his own experience and
how his father had taught him and
enjoined him TO get wisdom and under
standing We must remember. how
ever, that wisdom" Is used in Prov
erbs in a different sense from what we
use II. 1t refers not so much to in
tellectual as to practical knowledge,
the knowledge that tells US what Is
right and wrong and that helps Us to
do the right and avoid the wrong. The
word as used by solomon has a large
moral element in it 1t Is with this
meaning that he says: Wisdom is the
principal thing; therefore get wisdom:
and with all thy getting, get under
standing Exsit her and she shall pro
mote thee; she shall bring thee to
honor. when thou dost embrace her
she shall give to thine head an orna-
ment of grace; a crown of glory shall
she deliver to thee" These are the
blessings that shall come to those who
are wise enough to do good and TO
avoid evil. Life Is the result Of such
wisdom Let thine heart retain my
words; keep my commandments and
live"
One of the chief sources of obtaining
wisdom Is through books. Parental
instruction comes largely from expert
ence. and how wise we would be If we
would heed 1t. for 1t would mean life.
But books form no small part in the
making up of our character. the result
of practical wisdom. The chief end in
reading, therefore, should be the de-
velopment not of the mind, but of the
heart, the ennobling of character.
which alone is IAN ornament Of grace"
and a crown Of glory"
From the Bible. the book Of books,
down there are thousands Of good
books that can both delight and
strengthen Us. that will interest and
enrich and enoble US. But there are
other books-books that degrade and
debase moral character. An important
phase of the book question IL, there
| fore, the selection OF the books that We
are to preach. This selection will de-
! pend upon our training and natural
| disposition. Parents and teachers
should assist children to develop a
| taste only for inspiring and ennoolinR
| literature. There are few things more
debasing than q taste-yea. craving
for impure books. No true Christian
Endeavor girl should hide away and
take stolen glances at a book she
would not want her mother to see, nor
should the boys read what they know
their fathers would not approve. II
we do not possess it already, let us
cultivate a taste for good books only
the masterpieces of the worlds great
writer's, and, above all, for the Bible
