Because man wondered , about
the flight of birds, he learned to
fly. Because he wondered about
the atom and the power within,
he learned to split it. In a
sense, then, curiosity is the basis
and motivation of much of our
knowledge.
Why Go To Europe?
When the question of a Eu
ropean vacation arises in many
American families, the discour
aging reply , often ; encountered
is: Why should I go to Europe
when I haven't seen all there is
heavy to see in this country yet?"
Where to go on your vaca
tion is ah interesting problem to
solve and it should be- fun.. No
one can tell another or anoth
er's family- where they should
go to spend this year's vacation
or any other. The choice must
be made by those paying the
with so very little. This is per
haps the greatest lesson to be
learned in Europe in addition to
the historical 'and -cultural ex
periences .one can gain.

The purpose of our study to
day is to show how Christian in
terpretations of certain Old Tes
tament writings revealed truth
that bad eluded earlier under;
standing.
Christians today, motivated by
the fact that the old Testament
Reaches God is a God of Venge-
lance, whereas the New Testa
ment pictures Him as a God of;
Mercy, tend to discount the Oldl
Testament Apart from a very
kew familiar and well-lovftd pas
sages, such, as the Ten Com
mandments,' a few of the Psalms,
land selections from the prophet
ic writings, many Christiana have
little interest in studying the
Old Testament We will there-1
fore endeavor to show, in this I

life's - deepest meaning for . the
Christian; we have contrasted
two views of life that of hu
man reason and that of faith
in the Christian revelation; and
we have dealt, very practically,
with the wise use of the tongue.
In each case we saw the ful
fillment of Old Testament wia
dom in New Testament faith.
Human existence, old . age, and
Ithe power of speech were each
seen to have a fuller meaning
and a greater usefulness in the
faith described in the New Tes
tament. , '-i
But this) does nor mean ' w
should abolish the Ok), Testat
Invent The Old Testament! wrift,
ers had a high regard for the
'wisdom that had accumulated
from the long experience of men
and had been passed down from
generation to generation. Much
of this wisdom was good, and
should live. Tha .New Testa
ment, however, makes clear that
words of wisdom are inadequate
without the spirit of love. James
2: 8-17 illustrates this thought
beautifully. '
What is the path of wisdom?
It leads to faith in Christ as
Savior : and the presence of th
Spirit! in j one's life.-: jW shall
know" -the Spirit by vita - fruit.,
Note how Paul uses the singular
(Galatians 5:22-23).
The first Fruit of the Spirit is
love esteem, devotion, directed
both toward God and man. The
second is Joy the , capacity to
(rejoice in the midst of all cir-:
cumstances, our gladness based
on the assurance of God's love.
The third is Peace not sheer in-:
activity nor passivity, but a
peace of mind derived from our
knowledge of having been recon
ciled with God. Patience is the
fourth Fruit of the Spirit a
bearing with men's weaknesses
without an exhibition of anger.
Fifth comes Kindness a kind
ness growing from the goodness
of God in. sending Jesus- to lift
the awful bondage of sin from
mankind. Goodness not just
good, but good FOR something,
reflects our calling as Christians,
and is sixth in our list of the
Fruits of the Spirit Seventh
comes Faithfulness a complete
trusting in God and a dedi
cation of our lives to him. Gen
tleness, - an innate modesty,
wherein one counts others bet
ter than -himself, and Self-controlthe
mastery of . self ' that
holds in check all impulses, all
desires must also be included in
our list of the fruits of the Spirit.
These qualities of the Chris
tian reflect the glory of the
Spirit of Christ which is within.
iThey summarize well the. New
Testament's . fulfillment of the
wisdom about the good and
righteous life in the Old Testament.
. The fruits of faith are the
highest type of wisdom the
way of understanding love .that
is basic to all true communica
tion. . 4 . .
