THE WISE AND THE FOOLISH BUILDER.

MATTHEW, vii. 24, 25, 26, 27.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that -house; and it fell and great was the fall of it.
