Dear Children,<br />
I would like you all to be very wise. Wisdom is far better<br />
than money or fine clothes, or grand houses, or horses and<br />
carriages. People who are not wise, seldom get on well. They<br />
are seldom happy. My best wish for any dear boys and girls<br />
that I love—is that they may grow up very wise.<br />
"But how are we to be wise?" some of you will ask. "What<br />
are we to do in order to get this wisdom, which you tell us is<br />
such a good thing?"<br />
Dear Children, if you would be wise, you must pray to God<br />
to make you so. You must ask Him to put His Holy Spirit in<br />
your hearts, and give you wisdom. This is one thing.<br />
Besides this, you must read God's holy book, the Bible.<br />
There you will find out what true wisdom is. There you will<br />
see what kind of things wise people do. This is another<br />
thing.
