Be much alone with God. Do not put Him off with a quarter of an hour morning and evening. Take time to get thoroughly acquainted. Talk everything over with Him. Pour out every thought, feeling, wish, plan, and doubt to Him. He wants converse with His creatures. Shall His creatures not want converse with Him? He wants, not merely to be on “good terms” with you, if one may use man’s phrase, but to be intimate. Shall you decline the intimacy and be satisfied with mere acquaintance? What! Intimate with the world, with friends, with neighbors, but not with God? That would look ill indeed. Folly, to prefer the clay to the potter, the marble to the sculptor, this little earth and its lesser creatures to the mighty Maker of the universe, the great “All and in all!”

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large salad bowl toss together well the romaine, the Boston
lettuce, the curly endive, and the watercress. In a skillet cook the
bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp and transfer it
with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Halve, pit, and peel
the avocados and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces. Arrange the chicken,
the bacon, the tomato, and the avocado decoratively over the greens
and garnish the salad with the grated egg and the chives. In a small
bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, and salt and pepper to
taste, add the oil in a slow stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing
until it is emulsified. Stir in the Roquefort. Whisk the dressing,
pour it over the salad, and toss the salad well.
