Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.—Proverbs, 4: 7.
The world for ages has sought for, and is still seeking after, wisdom, but it has yet to learn that some of the knowledge it has gained is not true wisdom, for the result of this so-called wisdom is not the understanding that enables the learner practically and scientifically to prove that it can save him from his destroyers, sin, sickness, and death.
The term common Christianity will serve to illustrate the difference, by means of comparing the Christian faith that does not trust God in all its dis-eases (by going to Him for the healing" of sickness as well as sin) with the scientific Christianity, or Christian Science that is showing its faith by its works and is proving itself to be the Scientific understanding of true Christianity.
