At the time of the Reformation the gospel-light broke in upon the church. It drove away the clouds of anti-Christian darkness that covered the church. The power of divine grace followed by the preaching of the Word so that it had visible success in the conversion and edification of souls. The blessed fruits appeared in the hearts and lives of its professors. That was one of “the days of the Son of man.” Then the exalted Redeemer rode forth in His glory and majesty on the white horse of the pure Gospel, “conquering and to conquer.” The bow in His hand was like that of Jonathan; it returned not empty.

William Cowper

7	c	Water
1	c	Barley
2		Garlic cloves; peeled
3		Bay leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

Put rinsed beans in large saucepan. Add water, cover and let stand
overnight. Drain off water the next day. Put beans, barley and
remaining ingredients into crockpot.  Stir.  Cover and cook on high
for 4 hours. Remove bay leaves.  Salt to taste when serving. Sylvia's
comments: I nuked the beans to fast-soak them, and it worked great.
Even the kids liked this one! I used a fine-ground wurst instead of
Polish sausage and cut it into bite-sized pieces before cooking. I
also added some powdered beef stock to the water for cooking. Then I
packed the soup into empty jars to take to work. It reheats great!
Also worked well for a quick supper for the kids. Definitely a
keeper. I might add some chopped browned onions next time, though.
