It is a most lamentable thing to see how most people spend their time and their energy for trifles, while God is cast aside. He who is all seems to them as nothing, and that which is nothing seems to them as good as all. It is lamentable indeed, knowing that God has set mankind in such a race where heaven or hell is their certain end, that they should sit down and loiter, or run after the childish toys of the world, forgetting the prize they should run for. Were it but possible for one of us to see this business as the all-seeing God does, and see what most men and women in the world are interested in and what they are doing every day, it would be the saddest sight imaginable. Oh, how we should marvel at their madness and lament their self-delusion! If God had never told them what they were sent into the world to do, or what was before them in another world, then there would have been some excuse. But it is His sealed word, and they profess to believe it.

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel and pit the avocados and in a blender blend them with the lemon
juice, the sour cream, 3 cups of the broth, and the Tabasco until the
mixture is smooth, adding enough of the remaining 1/2 cup broth to
thin the mixture to the desired consistency. Transfer the soup to a
bowl, season it with salt and pepper, and chill it, its surface
covered with plastic wrap, for 1 hour, or until it is cold. (The soup
will discolor if kept for more than 6 hours.) Stir half the salmon,
