The excessive preeminence given to the Holy Spirit in their devotions and their preoccupation with gifts, ecstasies, and “prophecies” has tended to neglect of the Scriptures. Why be tied to a Book out of the past when one can communicate every day with the living God? But this is exactly the danger point. Apart from the constant control of the written revelation, we soon find ourselves engulfed in subjectivity; and the believer, even if he has the best intentions, can sink rapidly into deviations, illuminism or exaltation. Let each remind himself of the prohibition of taking anything away from Scripture or adding anything to it (Deut. 4:2; Rev. 22:18–19). Almost every heresy and sect has originated in a supposed revelation or a new experience on the part of its founder, something outside the strictly biblical framework.

INGREDIENTS

3	c	All-purpose flour
2 1/2	ts	Celery seeds
2	ts	Salt
1/2	ts	Black pepper
3	tb	Vegetable shortening

INSTRUCTIONS

About 2/3 cup water
"Celery seeds are not the seeds of the celery you eat as a vegetable.
Rather, they are the tangy fruit of a plant related to the parsley family.
Try them with a cold glass of fruit juice mixed with club soda. 350~F. 20
to 25 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F.
Stir together the flour, celery seeds, salt, and pepper in a large bowl or
in the food processor. Cut in the shortening until the mixture is the
consistency of coarse meal. Add enough of the water to form a dough that
will hold together in a cohesive ball.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
pastry cloth, roll thin, 1/8 inch thick maximum. Cut the dough into 2-inch
circles with a cookie cutter. Arrange them on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a rack. Yield:
40-50.
VARIATION: Caraway seeds can be substituted for celery seeds. Grind the
caraway seeds in a food mill before using. The caraway version of these
crackers is delicious with cream cheese.
