A work is not to be judged by any effects on the bodies of men; such as tears, trembling, groans, loud outcries, agonies of body, or the failing of bodily strength. The influence persons are under is not to be judged of one way or other by such effects on the body. Scripture nowhere gives us any such rule. We cannot conclude that persons are under the influence of the true Spirit because we see such effects upon their bodies. This is not given as a mark of the true Spirit; nor on the other hand, have we any reason to conclude from any such outward appearances that persons are not under the influence of the Spirit of God. There is no rule of Scripture given us by which to judge spirits that either expressly or indirectly excludes such effects on the body, nor does reason exclude them.

INSTRUCTIONS

GLAZE
Grease and flour a large tube pan or 2 loaf pans. Preheat oven to 325
degrees. Cream butter and sugar, then add eggs, one at a time, beating
thoroughly after each addition. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and
salt. Combine sour cream, flavorings, and brandy. Alternately add the flour
and sour cream mixture to the sugar mixture, beginning and ending with dry
ingredients. Mix until well blended.
Pour into prepared pan or pans. Bake for about 70 minutes. A crack will
usually form in the center. Cool for about 30 minutes, then remove from pan
and cool completely. Dust with confectioners sugar, or glaze, if desired.
Glaze: Mix just enough brandy with the sugar to form a thin mixture. Use a
brush to cover the surface of the cake.
Helpful hint: I buy small paintbrushes when they are on sale, and use these
for such jobs. I put them in the dishwasher. When they get worn, I toss
them and get new ones. They are great for brushing on bbq sauce on grilled
meats, glazing cakes, and many other uses.
