III WAY OF WIIDOU

in the prayer that "the hearts of the disobedlent" may be turned "to the wisdom of the Just," dis- mqnanoe appears to be thought of as folly rather than sin. The antithesis which these words sug- gest is at first sight unexpected. for the opposite of disobedience is obedience. and oi wisdom folly.

But disobedience to God is the mark of self-centredness. which,as Anchbishop Temple taught, is the essence of sin; and much that is called sin is indeed the natural chains of the evils which mar his fruit of self-regard. For it once mm could be delivered from the chains of self-centrednens it is obvious that most of the evils which mar his corporate life would disappear.

As the chaotic condition of the modern world so tragically proves, to reject the way of obedience to the laws of God-which is the way to happiness and peace-is man's supreme unwlsdom. Sin may therefore well be designated as fol-ly. Human action which causes misery and suffering is often the result more of thoughtlessness than of deliberate evil intentions.

Goodness is wisdom; disobedi- ence is folly. To turn away, therefore, from disobedience to God is to turn to man's highest wisdom. Man is created for good- ness: he "needs goodness as he needs his daily bread"; and to choose the way of goodness. which is the way of Christ, "the wisdom of God", is to choose what will alvmys make for that inner peace which is pet-ha the individuals greatest oontrlb 1 to the crea- tion of a bet? and happier world. .

And even though this may seem to be thinking of goodness as a. kind of enlightened self-interest, there can be nothing selfish in it, for it is of the very nature of goodness than it should express itself in generous action and self- giving service.

The prayer is therefore always relevant; it was never more so than in an age in which human folly has reached what would seem to be the lowest point in its deplorable history. In men's hands

are possibilities for good beyond the most extravagant dreams of earlier ages: yet these great ach- ievements of the human mind are threatening with destruction all that is meant by civilised life. so easy is it to turn the instruments of wisdom to foolish and evil uses. The "wisdom of the just" is the wisdom that comes from above. and of this wisdom it is said that it is "first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits."
