GEMS OF THOUGHT
WISDOM
Wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get wisdom: and with all
they getting get understanding.—
Proverbs 4:7.
Wisdom is ofttimes nearer when
we stoop than when we soar.—
Wordsworth.
Think, to be happy; to be great,
be wise: Content of spirit must
from science flow, for ’tis a goodlike
attribute to know. —Matthew Prior.
Men give counsel; but they give
not the wisdom to profit by it. To
ask wisdom of God, is the beginning
of wisdom. —Mary Baker Eddy.
Wisdom is only found in truth. —
Goethe.
Go where he will, the wise man
is at home, his hearth the earth—
his hall the azure dome.—Emerson.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE
GROUP MET MONDAY
The Woman’s Society of Christian
Service held its business meeting at
the Methodist church Monday, Jan.
6. After the opening song and
prayer Mrs. G. D. Head, president,
read a portion of , King George’s
Christmas message of 1939, follow
ed by the 24th Psalm, stressing that
we should think more of all we owe
to God. We should think of our
selves as trustees, or stewards, hold
ing the wealth of the earth in trust
for human well-being. Who owns
the earth? By the test of religion
the earth is the Lord’s and the full
ness thereof, and we will give as
the Lord has prospered us as grate
stewards, with a vision of His king
dom on earth." These words were
taken from the message sent to us
from our president, Mrs. J. D.
Bragg.
As we make our pledge for 1941
may we make it in a spirit of grati
tude that we are living in a free
land not dimmed by bombing planes
—and may we strive to plant Christ
so firmly in our lives that we will
have higher ideals and purposes, and
be inspired to accomplish the im
possible.
We have reached the goal of “a
million members in 1940,” now our
aim and purpose is “a second mil
lion by 1944.”
The spring mission study book is
to be “Jesus and Social Redemp
tion.”
Mrs. J. L. Lyons, spiritual life
chairman, asked that we make this
week a week of prayer, as Friday,
January 10, is a World Day of
Prayer.
“As we look across the vast sea
of our work, O Master, we feel the
challenge of Thy call and turn to
Thee for strength. Fit us for Thy
work, lest we fall Thee.”

MISS DOROTHY ANN
CARMICHAEL WRITES OF
ROSE BOWL GAME
Miss Dorthy Ann Carmichael,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor
Carmichael, writes interestingly of
the Rose Bowl game in Pasadena,
Calif., which she attended on New
Year’s Day. She is the guest of
Miss Verina Vollmer of San Diego
and went with a party of friends
to the game. She writes: “The Rose
Bowl is in the center of a great
valley or canyon with mountains
completely surrounding it. The sta
dium which seats 90,000 is actually
surrounded on all sides by beds of
roses, while the playing field is cov
ered solidly with grass. The Tourna
ment of Roses was the most spec
tacular thing I’ve ever seen. We
sat three hours watching the floats
pass a given point. All floats were
made of flowers, and only people
were permitted on them. The
theme this year was ‘Americanism
in Flowers.’ The ideas carried out
in the construction of the floats
were wonderful. The South was
represented by a cotton field with
two little pickaninnies sitting in
the middle of it. No wonder thou
sands of people come each year
from the far away corners of the
United States to see the game and
parade.”
