The strength of temptation also comes from a tendency to push virtues to such an extreme that they become vices. For example, it is all too easy for the joy of eating to become gluttony, or for the blessing of rest to become sloth, or for the peace of quietness to become non-communication, or for industriousness to become greed, or for liberty to be turned into an excuse for licentiousness.

In saucepan combine gelatin and pineapple. Heat until mixture simmers. Add
sugar, apricots and softened cream cheese. Continue heating, stirring
occasionally, until cream cheese melts. Remove from heat and cool. Chill in
refrigerator until mixture mounds when dropped from a spoon. In a chilled
bowl, whip chilled evaporated milk until stiff peaks form. Fold in apricot
mixture. Pour into 9 x 13-inch pan. Chill until firm. Cut into squares to
serve. Serves 12.
