God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
To gain entire likeness to Christ, I ought to get a high esteem of the happiness of it. I am persuaded that God’s happiness is inseparably linked in with His holiness. Holiness and happiness are like light and heat. God never tasted one of the pleasures of sin. Christ has a body such as I have, yet He never tasted one of the pleasures of sin. The redeemed, through all eternity, will never taste one of the pleasures of sin; yet their happiness is complete... Every sin is something away from my greatest enjoyment... The devil strives night and day to make me forget this or disbelieve it. He says, Why should you not enjoy this pleasure as much as Solomon or David? You may go to heaven also. I am persuaded this is a lie — that my true happiness is to go and sin no more.
Mistake not, I pray you: these duties must be had and used, but still a man must not stay there. Prayer says, “There is no salvation in me;” and the sacraments and fasting say, “There is no salvation is us;” all these are subservient helps, no absolute causes of salvation.
Cream butter and shortening; gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar beating until
mixture is light and fluffy. Add egg yolks; beat on high speed of electric
mixer for five minutes.
Combine flour, salt, and soda; mix well. Add to creamed mixture alternately
with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until just
blended after each mixture. Stir in vanilla, 1 1/3 cups chocolate morsels,
and grated chocolate.
Beat egg whites (at room temp) until foamy. Gradually add remaing 1/2 cup
suger, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold egg
whites into batter. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 10 inch tube
pan. Bake at 325 for 1hour and 20-25 minutes. Cool cake 10 minutes in pan;
invert onto a serving plate.
Combine powdered sugar* and 1 tablespoon milk*; stirring well. Add more
milk if a thinner consistancy is desired. Spoon glaze over warm cake.
Sprinkle remaining chocolate morsels evenly over glaze. Cool before
serving.***
NOTES : * I doubled this. ** I used 1 2/3 cups and only saved 1/3 cup for
topping. ***My Hubby couldn't wait for it to cool and loved it warm.
