1 Who is such as a wise man? and who knoweth the solving, either
expounding, of a word? The wisdom of a man shineth in his cheer; and
the mightiest shall change his face
The Book of
Ecclesiastes 8:1
Brethren:
There are few wise men in this world. How few understand the reasons of things, and can rightly expound the word and works of God! Makes a man venerable, cheerful, mild, and amiable. The face is put for the mind, because the mind discovers itself in the countenance. The boldness of his face. The roughness or fierceness of it, shall be changed, into gentleness and humility.
