PAGE EIGHT % THE 'DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE " SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1947 Wisdom Is the Principal Thing SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1047 By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Les- son on the above topic for July 27 is I Kings 3:5-14; Job 28:12-28; Proverbs 1:1-7, 20-33; 3:13-18; 4: 1-9; 8; 0:1-6, 9-10; 16:20; James 1:5, the Memory Verse being Prov- erbs 16:20, "He that\giveth heed unto the word shall f ood; And whoso trusteth in Jehovghi, happy is he.) ; TODAY'S LESSON deals with the necessity for wisdom and un- derstanding in life, and the ways of obtaining them. When 8Solo- mon, son of King David, came to the throne of Israel, he was a very young man, and evidently, he felt his responsibiltties and wanted, with all his heart, to do what was right for his people. One night he had & remarkable dream. In this dream the Lord came to him and said, "Ask what I shall give thee." Instead of ask- ing for wealth"and fame, as many a man would have done, Solomon told the Lord that he felt like a little child in taking over the throne of his father, David, to whom the Lord had shown great kindness. "I know not how to go out or come in," he said. "And thy servant is in the midst of Thy people which Thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multi- tude. "Give therefore Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this Thy so great a people?" The d was pleased with Solo- mon's uest, and granted it-- and Solomon, as we know, is still referred to as one of the wisest of rulers. Furthermore, as Solomon had not asked for riches and fame for himself, these, too, were given him, the Lord adding, "And if thou will walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as thy father, David, did walk, then I will lengthen thy days." Job Discusses Wisdom Job, during his great trials, real- ized the need for wisdom. Said he to his friends, "But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? "Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living . . . "It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price\thereof. "God understandeth the way thereof, and He knoweth the place thereof . . . "And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wis- dom; and to depart from evil is understanding." ! Even a little child can under- stand that to fear evil, to try one's best to'be good, and to ask God's help in all things, is good--in fact, is wisdom. The dictionary says: "Wisdom is knowledge practically applied to the best ends plety." In his later days, after reigning for many years, Solomon wrote Proverbs out of his own wisdom and understanding. "To know wisdom and instruc- tion; to perceive the words of un- derstanding; "To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; « . » "A wise man will hear, and will increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels; . . . "The fear of the Lord is the be- ginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Wisdom Begets Happiness "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding, For the merchan- dise of it is better than the mer- chandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. "She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst de- Sire are not to be compared unto er + 4» ? ' "Her ways are ways of pleasant- ness, and all her paths are peace. "She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her." In the 8tla chapter of Proverbs wisdom is made to seem a person and to talk directly to men: "Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. ... Receive my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold. . «» « Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding; I have strength." In his letter of advice to mem- bers of the early church, James, the apostle, writes: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraidetth not; 3 oo 4 and it shall be given him." News of. the Playgrounds. Literally hundreds of children erowded around a table spread out at the North end of Bathe park on' 'Wednesday afternoon. On this table was a merry-go-round, complete with red umbrella, brass poles, and whirling about were elephants, horses, lambs, ducks, and a Bambi. Actually the biggest attraction was the food. Sandwiches and ice cold lemonade were a reality. And by . B o'clock in the afternoon the chil- dren had earned them. At. one that day, half of them had started out with Joan Lambert on a paper chase from Connaught park. By following a carefully marked path, they had arrived at Bathe Park by 2.15. Then the num- bers were doubled, and Mae Dalby and Joan followed the youngsters as they found their way to the C.R.A. headquarters on Gibb Street. Here they saw movies which were shown especially for them, of birds, and dogs, and the Soap Box Derby. 'After all this excitement they re- turned to Bathe Park for their picnic supper. The program leaders, Joan and Mae, and Stan Skea say that they want to thank all the neighborhood mothers who helped on Wednesday afternoon. LE BN J 8ix boys and a dog left Cedar- dale Monday afternoon for an af- ternoon's swimming, east of the city. One brand new bathing suit created momentary panic when it filled with air bubbles and insisted that its wearer spend the afternoon swimming rear upwards; the dog had a quick skirmish with some calves, and came off second best. Returning later, tired, happy, and dusty, the boys' comments showed that they had had a good after. 'noon: "Gee, I'm thirsty," "I could eat ten whole suppers," "Jo, can I' borrow those water wings, I mean that bathing suit, tomorrow." * de "Gee, look at the playhouse!" "What's that straw doing on the roof?" "That's a thatched roof, silly." This was the conversation as the children from North Oshawa play- ground, with Marg Redpath in charge arrived at North Simcoe school for a picnic Thursday after. noon. Hostess was Peggy ' "hompson. A game of dodgeball got everyone acquainted. North Simcoe won that game, but later North Oshawa avenged this defeat in the beanbag relay race. North Simcoe again cane off best in deck tennis, A big lunch prepared everyone for the races. Stan Skea, as official judge, declared the winners to bi Linda Toppings, Janet Whitting. ton, Buddy MacKillop, Mary Hezzle. wood, Marilyn McKillop, Ronnie Robinson, Eleanor Parkhill, Jack Carter, Paul Whittington. * PP Courtice girls have some real softball telent. Last Saturday at the Varsity Stadium in Toronto the first three places in the Junior soft. ball throw were won by Reatrice Bourne, Phyllis Adams, and Alice Taylor, all of Courtice. In addition, Beatrice Bourne was third in the running high jump, junior class. 2 bb Rotary Park visited Alexandra Park last Monday afternoon with a boys' under 15, ball game as the main eveni. Alexandra Park won the game 7-4. . bb Six boys from Alexandra Park had so muchi fun last Tuesday when they went on 'a:hike with Gord Day out.to Columbus, that they are hoping to go on another soon--all night, this time. LEE I The girls on Mary and North Simcoe School playgrounds will be able to play "real" house this sum- mer--that is if they aren't over four and a half feet high. For the CR.A. staff have built two play- houses, eight feet square, on these play areas where there isn't much other equipment. Now it's up to the little girls themselves to decorate. LR BR The movies of birds, care of pets, swimming stars, and of the Soap Box Derby have been very popular this week at the C.R.A. headquar- ters on Gibb Street. Monday after- noon, Marg McGregor A brought some of Mary Street playground. Tuesday morning Irene Sabyan brought about thirty from Sunny. side, and Catherine Cameron from South Simcoe playground. Bo bP Tuesday afternoon the children from the Red Cross Cottage, where some of the C.R.A. staff is working, entertained a few guests with a variety | concert, which they pro- duced and acted in themselves. There were chocolate bars for every- body as prizes, and all stayed for a picnic supper. + * * Cedardale and South 'Simcoe playgrounds combined yesterday afternoon for a hike to Farewells Hollow. Gertrude Moore and Cath- erine Cameron, leaders from the grounds were in charge. All of the girls were from seven to eleven years of age, and they had a won. derful time with bean bags, a ball and bat, and their lunch, * +P College Hill had a treasure hunt and movies Tuesday morning when they joined Park Road and fol- lowed a trail of hidden messages to the C.R.A. headquarters on Gibb Street. The last message was acci- dentally lost, but the children saw the building a block away and guessed where they were heading. While they were in the building, many of them registered for swim- ming lessons, and they saw three movies while they were there, +» * + Yesterday afternoon twenty five Rotary Park girls put Se their smartest clothes, and paraded in a fashion show for the other boys and girls, and some of the mothers who were present. They were di. vided into groups of six. Of each of these groups, there was one commentator who described the fashions that were about to appear, one who modelled a bathing suit, ne a formal dress, one an after. noon dress, one a smart pair of slaacks, and one dressed as a little girl, Rosie Rubenzahl led the win. ning team, and Carol Huntley, in a little Dutch costume, introduced each group as they appeared. -- Baby Hair Seal Found on Lawn Prince Rupert, B.C.

Car Imports Fail To Meet Demand Auckland, N.Z.,--~(CP)--As a result of recent price increases in British cars, Canadian mgdels are now underselling them to such an extent that the British makes could scarcely compete un. der normal conditions, At present there is a long waiting list for all makes, whatever the price. There are indications that Bri- tish companies will have to set more competitive rates when the buying rush dies if they are to retain their hold on the market. At present about 80 per cent of the new cars sold in New Zealand are British and most of the re- mainder are Canadian made. This figure however, is largely indicated by availability, import licencing and currency conditions, For most makes of United States and Canadian cars the waiting lists "are so long, agents cannot guarantee delivery in under one to two years. Most makes of Brit- ish cars can be obtained in 2 mat- ter of months, PATIENCE PAID OFP Airdrie, Alta. -- (CP) -- Patience 'pald off recently for George DeWitt of this district northwest of Cal- gary.
