When a heretic named Eunomius boasted of having penetrated with his mind's eye the divine essence, St. Basil, to show the absurdity of his contention, sent him twenty-five questions on insect life, not one of which he was able to answer.

These are they over whom the devil prevails, and who reject the proffered invitation because its acceptance would run counter to their vices. " Amen, I say to you," saith the Lord, " that none of these men, these proud and worldly or self-wise or carnal men, that were called shall taste of My supper." For, sooner or later they will knock at the Lord's door and beg to be admitted to His nuptial feast, but He will answer: "Amen, I know you not. All through your day of life I held out My hands to you while you disbelieved and contradicted Me, and now I pray you hold Me excused."
