O sirs! There is in a crucified Jesus – something proportionate to all the straits, needs, necessities, and desires of His poor people. He is bread to nourish them, a garment to cover and adorn them, a physician to heal them, a counselor to advise them, a captain to defend them, a prince to rule them, a prophet to teach them, a priest to make atonement for them; a husband to protect them, a father to provide for them, a brother to relieve them, a foundation to support them, a head to guide them, a treasure to enrich them, a sun to enlighten them, and a fountain to cleanse them! What more can any Christian desire – to satisfy him and save him; and to make him holy and happy – in time and eternity?

*(do not use margarine) ** (imitation is fine for this recipe, but the
powdered vanilla has the best flavor) Preheat to 375. In a mixer (Kitchen
Aid, or hand mixer) cream the butter and sugars. Mix for at least three
minutes. Add the egg & vanilla. Mix again. Stir in the dry ingredients, mix
another two minutes. Add chocolate and nuts. Mix again, less than one
minute is all that is necessary. Use cookie sheets lined with parchment
paper. Roll each cookie into a firm ball and place three across on sheet.
Bake for exactly 12 minutes. This will produce chewy cookies, bake for 14
minutes if you like them crunchy.
