THOSE individuals who have sufficiently studied the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy have learned that these books unerringly point the way to wisdom, Truth, and Love. They have learned also that intelligent, consecrated, spiritual thinking leads to the fuller understanding that all true wisdom is of God and is expressed throughout God's creation.
The search for wisdom has occupied the attention of thinking people of all ages, and its attainment has ever resulted in bettering conditions for mankind, individually and collectively. This search inevitably increases the desire for a better understanding of God and of man's relationship to God, than which nothing is more important. In Science and Health we read (p. 275): "All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, immortality, cause, and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal manifestations of the infinite divine Principle, Love."
In the above statement wisdom is declared to be an attribute of God. This fact is what Job doubtless was seeking to grasp when he asked, "Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?" And in reply to his own question he repeated the words of God, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding."
