What skill doth every part of our work require! – and of how much moment is every part! To preach a sermon, I think, is not the hardest part; and yet what skill is necessary to make the truth plain; to convince the hearers, to let irresistible light in to their consciences, and to keep it there, and drive all home; to screw the truth into their minds, and work Christ into their affections; to meet every objection, and clearly to resolve it; to drive sinners to a stand, and make them see that there is no hope, but that they must unavoidably either be converted or condemned – and to do all this, as regards language and manner, as beseems our work, and yet as is most suitable to the capacities of our hearers. This, and a great deal more that should be done in every sermon, must surely require a great deal of holy skill.

INGREDIENTS

1	pk	Active dry yeast (1/4 oz)
1/4	c	Lukewarm water
1	ts	Salt
3	tb	Vegetable shortening, melted
1	c	Cold water
4 1/2	c	All purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, soften the yeast in the lukewarm water. Mix the salt, 2
tablespoons of the shortening, and the cold water together and add to the
yeast mixture. Sift in the flour gradually, beating well after each
addition for a smooth consistency.  You will probably have to knead in the
final cup of flour. Shape the dough into a ball, brish lightly with the
remaining shortening, and cover with a dry cloth.  Set the bowl in a warm
place until doubled in bulk, anout 1 hour. Punch the dough down and, on a
floured board, knead about 5 minutes. Shape into 2 round loaves on a well
greased baking sheet.  Cover with a dry cloth and set to rise another 45
minutes. Preheat the oven to 400F. Bake the loaves on a cookie sheet 50
minutes, until they are light brown and sound hollow when tapped.
