these, but they are corruptible and
shall soon pass away (2) more
precious than rubies" ". 15). Though
among the most valuable among the
precious stones, the ruby Is of sec
ondary value when compared with the
wisdom of God. (3) OF Unreasonable

ness tends to long life. (2) "In her

"Riches and honor" may not always
be according to the worlds standard.
(3) "Her ways are ways of pleasant
ness" ". ~. The notion that the life
Of the Christian is hard and that
pleasure does not enter into his expert

life, Christ, have eternal life (Gen.

The only true happiness that can be

(Deut. 6:4-9).
l. Central truths to be taught wv.
4, 81. "a Unity Of God. "The Lord
our God Is one Lord" This was q
testimony against the polytheism of
that day. He is God alone, therefore
to worship another is sin. (2) Mans
supreme obligation ". 81. God should
be loved with all the heart, soul, and
might, because He is God alone.
2. How these truths are to be kept
alive wv. 6-9). The place for Gods
Word Is in the heart. In order that it
may be in the heart % "teach dill
gently to thy children" ". y. The
most important part Of child's edu-
cation is that given in the Word Of
God. (2) Talk of them in the home
". y. How blessed is that home
where Gods Word Is the topic of con-
versation. (3) Talk of them when
walking with our children and friends
