He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family or owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness. While He was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had – His coat. When He was dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today He is the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever sailed, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this “One Solitary Life” (James Francis).

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2	c	Sugar; plus…
2	tb	Sugar
1/4	c	Strong coffee
1/4	c	Light corn syrup
1	tb	Soda; sifted
1		(10-in.) angel food cake
2	c	Whipping cream
2	ts	Vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, coffee and corn syrup in saucepan at least 5
inches deep. Bring mixture to boil and cook to 310F on candy thermometer or
hard-crack stage (small amount of mixture dropped into cold water will
break with brittle snap). Remove syrup from heat, immediately add soda and
stir vigorously just until mixture thickens and pulls away from sides of
pan. (Mixture will foam rapidly when soda is added. Do not destroy foam by
excessive beating.) Immediately pour foamy mass into ungreased 9-inch
square metal pan (do not spread or stir). Let stand without moving until
cool. When ready to garnish cake, knock hardened mixture out of pan and
crush between sheets of waxed paper with rolling pin to form coarse crumbs.
Split cake into 4 equal layers. Combine cream, remaining 2 tablespoons
sugar and vanilla in chilled bowl and beat until stiff. Spread about 1/2 of
cream between layers and remainder over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle
generously with crushed topping. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
