"What is that passage, Hattie, about answering a matter before you understand it?" I gave Hattie my Bible, and, after a while, she read: "He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Bid him rede me this riddle: That bringing from chaos order, so from order will I bring chaos, that order peradventure shall remain. Haste you into Bourne, Roger, and so fare thee well!"
Mark at the outset Christ's own estimate of His words: "The words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life;" "If a man keep My word he shall never see death;" "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away;" "Every one which heareth these words of Mine and doeth them " with him Christ said it should be well; but "every one that heareth these words of Mine and doeth them not" upon him ruin should come to the uttermost.
