Of late, I have heard things that I never dreamed of before, alleged even by professedly Christian ministers against the fundamental doctrines of God’s Word; and some have even dared to say that the substitution of Christ, His suffering in our stead, was not just. Then they have added that God forgives sin without any atonement whatever; but, if the first be not just, what shall I say of the second? If God continually forgives sin without taking any care of His moral government, if there be nothing done for the vindication of His justice, how shall the Judge of all the earth do right? Then the very foundations of the universe would be removed, and what would the righteous do? Depend upon this, whatever modern philosophy may say, “Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin,” that is to say, without an atonement and an atonement consisting of the giving up of a life of infinite value, there is no passing by of human transgression.

INSTRUCTIONS

Old cookbooks offer strange combinations. At least they seem strange in
terms of today's eating habits. This dish was not considered particularly
off the normal track in earlier days. I have tried it and find it to be
delicious. There is nothing wrong with mixing seafood with chicken. And
besides, I need no excuse for putting clams in anything.
Cook the chicken according to the recipe for Chicken Pie with Biscuit
Topping. Remove skin and debone the chicken. Make your own broth if you
wish.
Heat the cream or milk along with the chicken stock. Thicken with the
roux as in the Chicken and Biscuit Topping recipe. Add the salt, cayenne,
and celery, and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and drained clams. Place
in a baking dish just large enough to hold everything and top with the
sliced eggs. Roll out the crust and cover the pie. Bake at 375&deg; for 45
minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Serve along with Cabbage and Salt Pork (see recipe), and you will have a
typical Colonial meal.
