The rich etymology of “discipline” suggests a conscious divestment of all encumbrances, and then a determined investment of all one’s energies. Just as ancient athletes discarded everything and competed gumnos (naked), so must the disciplined Christian man divest himself of every association, habit, and tendency which impedes godliness. Then, with this lean spiritual nakedness accomplished, he must invest all his energy and sweat in the pursuit of godliness.

INSTRUCTIONS

Into a large bowl sift together the flour, the cornmeal, the baking

the butter, and the sage, and stir the batter until it is just
combined. Pour the batter into a well-buttered 8-inch-square baking
pan and bake the corn bread in the middle of a preheated 425F. oven

bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, invert it onto a rack, and let
it cool completely. (If using the corn bread for stuffing, crumble it
coarse into a shallow baking pan and toast it in the middle of a
preheated 325F. oven, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 35 minutes, or
until it is dried and deep golden.)
Makes about 3 cups.
