Many years ago, I came across a very interesting article called "Giving and Getting" by Paul Stark Seeley. While the world encourages getting of all things material, the Bible only requires our getting understanding.
You can find the article at Reading Rooms in the Christian Science Sentinel of 26th September 1923 or at http://sentinel.christianscience.com/issues/1923/9/26-1/giving-and-getting.
