God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The heart of Christ became like a reservoir in the midst of the mountains. All the tributary streams of iniquity, and every drop of the sins of His people, ran down and gathered into one vast lake, deep as hell and shoreless as eternity. All these met, as it were, in Christ's heart, and He endured them all.
Our opponents say, 'Salvation belongs to the free will of man; if not to man's merit, yet at least to man's will;' but we hold and teach that salvation from first to last, in every iota of it, belongs to the Most High God. It is God that chooses His people. He calls them by His grace; He quickens them by His Spirit, and keeps them by His power.
Soak the ladyfingers in a mixture of equal parts rum and water.
Line the bottom and sides of a charlotte mold with the biscuits. Whip the
creme fraiche with the sugar until stiff. Add the crumbled [but not
crushed] marrons glaces to two-thirds of the whipped cream [reserving the
last third: translator's insertion]. Place successive layers of chestnut
cream and soaked ladyfingers in the mold: a layer of chestnut cream, a
layer of ladyfingers, a layer of chestnut cream. End with a layer of
ladyfingers. Refrigerate overnight. Unmold before serving and cover with
the reserved cream.
NOTES
(1) Ladyfingers or sponge fingers can be bought under that name, but Julia
Child recommends that they be homemade for use in a charlotte. A recipe has
already been posted I believe, or one is found in her book "The French
Chef".
(2) In JC's recipe for an almond chocolate charlotte, she recommends lining
the mold with waxed paper before putting in the ladyfingers. Then the top
of the filled mold is covered with waxed paper, a saucer, and weighted
down.
