Proverbs 3:14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. Why is the merchandise of wisdom better than the merchandise of silver? 1. Because it is a business you can begin sooner than you can any other. 2. Because it is easier to trade in. It requires less money and less labour to carry it on. 3. Because you can have better partners here than in any other pursuits. 4. Because it yields more profit than any other. 5. Because there is more room for engaging in it than in any other. We are all fitted for it, and invited to engage in it. (R. Newton, D.D.)
