Missionaries are not heroes who can boast in great sacrifice for God. They are the true Christian Hedonists. They know the battle cry of Christian Hedonism is missions. They have discovered a hundred times more joy and satisfaction in a life devoted to Christ and the gospel than in a life devoted to frivolous comforts and pleasures and worldly advancements. And they have taken to heart the rebuke of Jesus. Beware of a self-pitying spirit of sacrifice! Missions is gain! Hundredfold gain!

In a large bowl, combine sugar, 1 Tbsp flour & water, sprinkle in yeast &
stand until frothy (2 mins).  Stir in eggs & oil.  Mix 1 cup flour, extra
sugar & salt into yeast mixture.  Beat with wooden spoon until smooth. Stir
in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.  Turn onto a lightly
floured surface & knead until smooth & elastic (about 10 mins).  Place in a
greased bowl, turn dough over in the bowl to grease all over.  Cover with
plastic wrap, stand in a warm place to rise (prove) for 1 hour or until
doubled in size & imprint remains when dough is pressed.  Punch down dough
using fist, knead for 2 mins.  Divide into 12 equal portions.  Shape each
piece into a ball (keep dough covered with plastic wrap while shaping).
Poke finger through centre of each ball. Twirl around finger to form a
ring. Place on floured oven tray & cover. Allow to rise for 15 mins. Bring
water to the boil in a large pan. Add sugar. Place half the bagels into the
water, cook 1 min. Turn, cook for 1 min longer. Using a slotted spoon,
remove bagels to a greased baking tray lined with greased foil. Cook
remaining half of bagels in poaching liquid. Combine egg yolk & water.
Brush over bagels. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds. Bake in a hot oven
(400&deg;F) for 25 mins or until golden. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 12.
