When I speak of “means,” I have in view Bible-reading, private prayer, regular attendance on public worship, regular hearing of God’s Word, and regular reception of the Lord’s Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact, that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification. I can find no record of any eminent saint who ever neglected them. They are appointed channels through which the Holy Spirit conveys fresh supplies of grace to the soul, and strengthens the work which He has begun in the inward man. Let men call this legal doctrine if they please, but I will never shrink from declaring my belief that there are no “spiritual gains without pains”… Our God is a God who works by means, and He will never bless the soul of that man who pretends to be so high and spiritual that he can get on without them.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE CAKE
FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING
For the Cake:
1. Cream sugar and margarine togther. Stir in eggs, and then alternate
stirring in the flour and the milk.
2. Grease and flour a small cookie sheet or sheet cake pan. Pour
batter in pan, spread to evenly coat. Top with fresh sliced fruit or
well-drained canned fruit.
For the Streusel Topping:
1. Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut the margarine in
small pieces and drop in flour mixture. Mix together well -- the
best way is to mix it with your hands. Mix until all is a consistency
of a streusel topping. If it gets too dry, mix in a little more
margarine. If it gets too sticky, add a little more flour.
Sprinkle over cake/fruit mixture in cookie sheet/sheet cake pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350F.
Authors Notes: "In Berlin, Germany (where I was born) we make this
cake in the plum season and use fresh plums and omit the streusel and
just sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar on top of the still hot cake and
serve with whipped cream. You can use Cool Whip if you like! This
cake is always sold at bakesales in the Army. We just double the
recipe and cut it in squares and wrap it in saran wrap and at the last
sale it was gone in 30 minutes!"
