Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. Tor the merchandise of it is hetter.than the merchandise of silver and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and her paths are paths of peace. She is atree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and happy is everyone that retaineth her. The Lord hy wisdom has founded the earth, hy understanding hath estahlished the heavens. By His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. Wly son, let them not depart from thine eyes, Keep sound wisdom and discretion. So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shall thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumhle. Through wisdom is an house builded, and by understanding it is established: And hy knowledge shall the chamhers he filled with all precious and pleasant riches. flhe Dedication of Sixty Buildings THE ACT OF DEDICATION: Bishop: What buildings are to be dedicated?
