How many, how suitable, how sovereign are the supports our heavenly Father affords to His afflicted children! They make the affliction, which in itself would seem heavy and tedious appear to be light, and but for a moment. It is happier to be in the furnace of affliction with these supports than to be in the highest prosperity without them! Blessed with the hopes and comforts of Christ! The true Christian would prefer the lot of Lazarus, with all the poverty and distress which he endured to the lot of the rich man, who, amidst all the splendor and affluence which this world could afford – lived a life of alienation from God, and destitute of the sovereign supports which can only be enjoyed, by those who love and fear Him.

3/4	c	Sugar
1/4	c	Orange liqueur
1 1/2		Sticks softened unsalted butter (not margarine)
4		Egg whites, room temperature
1	pn	Salt
2	tb	Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine chocolate and coffee in double boiler over almost-simmering water.
Stir till chocolate begins to melt, then go to next step. Beat egg yolks
while gradually adding sugar.  Beat 2 or 3 minutes till mixture is thick,
pale, and forms a slowly dissolving ribbon when beater is lifted. Beat in
the liqueur.  Set mixing bowl in a pan of almost-simmering water. Beat at
moderate speed till warm and foamy.  Remove from heat and beat till cool.
Stir chocolate till smooth, gradually beat in butter.  Beat this mixture
into the yolk mixture, set aside.
Beat egg whites slowly till they begin to foam, add salt.  Increase speed
gradually to fast. Beat till soft peaks are formed.  Sprinkle in sugar and
beat till stiff peaks are formed.  Stir one fourth of the egg whites into
the chocolate.  Scoop the rest on top and *delicately* fold them in.
Immediately turn the mousse into a serving bowl, lightly oiled metal mold,
or individual cups. Cover and chill overnight. Serve with whipped cream if
desired.
