Spiritual pride is very apt to suspect others, but a humble saint is most jealous of himself. He is as suspicious of nothing in the world as he is of his own heart. The spiritually proud person is apt to find fault with other saints...and to be quick to notice their deficiencies. But the eminently humble Christian has so much to do at home, and sees so much evil in his own heart, and is so concerned about it, that he is not apt to be very busy with other hearts... Pure Christian humility disposes a person to take notice of everything that is good in others, and to make the most of it, and to diminish their failings, but to give his eye chiefly on those things that are bad in himself.

MARINADE
FILLING
  TO COOK PRAWNS:
Leaving the shells of the prawns intact, insert the toothpicks along the
inside curves to prevent curling.  Drop the prawn into 3/4 pt of boiling
water and cook briskly, uncovered, for about 3 minutes until pink and
firm.  Drain in a sieve and cool quickly under cold running water.  Remove
the toothpicks and peel the prawns, leaving the last section of shell and
tail on each one.  De-vein the prawns by making a shallow incision  across
their tops with a small, sharp knife. Lift out the vein.  Butterfly the
prawns by cutting along their inner curves 3/4 of the way through,
spreading the open and flattening with a cleaver.
MARINADE
Put the vinegar, water, salt, sugar and MSG into a mixing bowl and stir
together thoroughly.  Add the prawns, marinade at room temperature for 1
hour.
FILLING
Drop the egg yolks into a small saucepan and beat lightly with a fork.
Remove 2 1/2 t of the yolks and set aside.
Add 3/4 pt of water to the remaining yolks, stir thoroughly, and cook
over a moderate heat for 10-15 minutes until the yolks are firm and
hard-boiled.  Drain them in a sieve, and mash them into a paste.  Beat the
sugar, salt, salt, lemon juice, MSG, and the rest of the raw egg yolks and
continue to beat.  Rub the mixture through a fine sieve.
TO ASSEMBLE AND SERVE
Divide the seasoned egg filling into 6 equal parts and pack each part into
the center of a prawn.  Seal the edges by pressing them together.  Serve
at room temperature.
