Rachel Cooper Now, you remember children how I told you last Sunday about the good Lord going up into the mountain and talking to the people. And how he said, Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. And how he said that King Solomon in all his glory was not as beautiful as the lilies of the field. And I know you won't forget, Judge not lest you be judged, because I explained that to you. And then the good Lord went on to say, Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly, they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. Neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Wherefore by their fruits, ye shall know them.
