And who and what are ministers themselves? Frail men, fallible, sinning men, exposed to every snare, to temptation in every form; and from the very post of observation they occupy, the fairer mark for the fiery darts of the foe. They are no mean victims the great Adversary is seeking, when he would wound and cripple Christ’s ministers. One such victim is worth more to the kingdom of darkness than a score of common men; and on this very account, the temptations are probably more subtle and severe than those encountered by ordinary Christians. If this subtle Deceiver fails to destroy them, he artfully aims at neutralizing their influence by quenching the fervor of their piety, lulling them into negligence, and doing all in his power to render their work irksome. How perilous the condition of that minister then, whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people! It is not in his own closet and on his own knees alone that he finds security and comfort and ennobling, humbling and purifying thoughts and joys; but it is when his people also seek them in his behalf that he becomes a better and happier man and a more useful minister of the everlasting gospel.

INSTRUCTIONS

CUSTARD
ICE CREAM
Custard
1. Put the milk and vanilla pod in a saucepan and warm gently. In a
large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until thick and
creamy. Whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture, return to the heat,
stir continuously without boiling, until the mixture coats the back
of the spoon. Strain the custard and cool.
2. Place the toffee in a bag and using a rolling pin, bash into small
pieces. Transfer 6 tablespoons of the custard to a small dish and put
to one side. Pour the remaining custard into a freezerproof container
and partly freeze for 5 hours. Whisk the double cream until soft,
then fold into the custard with the toffee pieces. Return to the
freezer overnight, stirring occasionally.
Ice Cream
3. When the ice cream is frozen, roll out the pastry to 5mm thick and
cut 8 small circles, approximately 10 cm in diameter, generously
prick the surface of each disc, then place on a lightly greased
baking sheet. Leave in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 7 / 425ºf / 220ºc.
4. Divide the reserved custard between the 8 pastry circles and then
arrange the banana slices in a circle, leaving a tiny gap around the
edge. Brush each tart with a little butter and dredge with icing
sugar. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until
thoroughly browned.
5. Puff pastry needs a quick hot temperature.
6. To serve, place the tarts on serving plates and arrange scoops of
ice cream by the side. Dust with icing sugar
