One of the sorriest creatures in all the world is a preacher who does not pray, except in public. Even with the theology of Calvin, the illustrations of Spurgeon, and the searching applications of Edwards, if a pastor has not been alone with God in secret, he is a pitiful figure in the pulpit. Without secret prayer he is without unction, a lifeless shell. Though ministers may, as other true saints, fall into intervals of prayerlessness, he is no man of God in whom this condition prevails. He is a hypocrite who is all superstructure in plain view with no unseen foundation. Bright flowers without roots are plastic having no life.

Crumble bacon and add to chicken. Add 3/4 cup of the cheese, and 1/3 cup of
the mayonnaise mixture; mix well. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16
triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on round baking stone with wide
ends of triangles overlapping in the center and points toward the outside.
(There should be a 5-inch diameter opening in center of Stone.) Using
medium stainless steel scoop, scoop chicken mixture evenly onto widest end
of each triangle. Bring outside points of triangles up over filling and
tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be
completely covered.) Halve tomatoes lengthwise, and then quarter each half,
longways. Place 1 tomato piece over filling between openings of ring. Bake

sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Using V-shaped cutter, cut
around bell pepper. Separate halves; remove membranes and seeds. Fill with
