Simplicity in expression is of utmost importance. The teacher should speak so that even children and people who cannot read may be able to understand him, as far as the natural mind can comprehend the things of God. Every congregation has people of various educational and social backgrounds. The expounder of the truth of God speaks for God and for eternity. It is unlikely that he will benefit the hearers unless he uses plain speech.

TOPPING
The traditional French dish takes days to prepare and contains a generous
portion of high-fat meats. By using sausage only, preparation time, fat and
calories are all cut down without sacrificing flavour.
In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; cook sausage, onions,
garlic,  carrots, celery, thyme, pepper and cloves, stirring, for about 5
minutes or until onions are softened. Add tomatoes, breaking up with fork.
Add chicken stock and bay leaf; bring to boil. Add beans; reduce heat and
simmer  for about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Discard bay leaf.
[Can be prepared to this point, cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to
1 day. Or freeze for up to 1 week; thaw in refrigerator for up to 36 hours.
Add 45 minutes to 1 hour to baking time.]
Topping: In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic; cook for
about 2 minutes or until softened. Stir in bread crumbs and chopped
parsley; sprinkle over cassoulet. Bake in 350F 180C oven for about 30
minutes or until crusty and golden on top, bubbly and heated through.
