"Sound Words" -- A Moments Wisdom
 
          A Moments Wisdom is a feature in the local bulletin of the Tomlinson Run church of Christ. It consists of quotes and proverbs designed to provoke spiritual thought and generate Bible conversations. The fact that these wise sayings come from a vast multitude of sources and are heard in every place, time, and situation serves to illustrate the wisdom of Solomon as expressed in Proverbs 1:20-21 -- "Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words"
