TRUE WISDOM Recently, a former student of Co lumbia University sued his alma ma ter because he complained that they had failed to teach him wisdom. This was an interesting legal case.

So if I covet one gift in the morning, It is the shine of heaven in my face, Banishing gloom for the worn and the weary, Telling the story of infinite grace. — Ralph Cushman fishness and greed of some individ uals. Our minds and hearts should be stayed first of all on the Lord Jesus Christ. It is wonderful the way the Lord provides some people with a great deal of wealth.
