WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT ' Bible Remains Wisest Book of All BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. T ONG ago I outgrew the notion, prevalent in my childhood, that Solomon was "the wisest man that ever lived." That judgment, based upon his wise choice (I Kings 3:5-15), and his judgment in the dispute of the two women over the babe (verses 24-25), had little warrant in relation to the whole record of Solomon "in all his glory." For his reign began with the murder of his half-brother, and the burdens that he put upon the people for the building of his pal aces end the temple led to the rebellion, following his death, in which the kingdom was divided, with the ultimate destruction of both parts. But, if Solomon departed from his alleged wisdom, the wisdom stands, and the Bible is the wisest book in the world. Its preception of wisdom is based upon the ex periences and observance of men of keen discernment and high in tegrity. They were philosophers, men of deep thought, but they were also practical men. 'T'HEY observed the effect of wrong ideas and aims, or of right ideas and aims, upon indi viduals and the community. They marked the difference between right and wrong as they observed these effects, but they found the roots of righteousness in some thing deeper than apparent pleas ure or pain, profit or loss. Whenthey saw the wicked OUR CHURCHES ST. LUKE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Canon Geo. St. G. Tyner, rector Third Street & Avenue A.

Who has not seen the building up- of a great fortune by dishonest means followed by the moral and social rum of the family which it was supposed to bless? - j If these wise men erred, it was in the reverse matter of too closely associating outward welfare with right conduct. They failed rightly to appraise the suffering of men for conscience sake, and the in volvement of the righteous in the common lot of mankind in experi-' ences of trial, unhappiness, and disaster. It was to correct this error, and to face this age-long problem of suffering, that the Book of Job was written. But in the main it is true that right conduct leads to happiness and welfare, and wrong conduct leads to unhappiness and ruin. The wisdom underlying that general ized observation is justified by human experience. Moreover, the deep moral foun-' dations of life are manifest in the fact that suffering for conscience sake brings with it a sense of moral rectitude and spiritual strength, very different from the consciousness of suffering through sin and folly. The wisdom of the Bible is not confined to the so-called wisdom literature, but it is in the Bible as a whole; and the wisdom of the Old Testament has its climax and confirmation in the wisdom of the New.' --- - Sunday evening a group of the men will accompany Mr. Ray mond Cook to the Ithaca chui-ch where Mr. Cook is scheduled to speak.
