If a doctor, able to help, were at the side of a sick person and promised to help him from his trouble and advised him how to combat his ailment or the poison he had taken, and if the sick person knew that the doctor could help him but nonetheless said: Oh, get out, I won’t accept your advice; you are no doctor, but a highwayman; I am not sick, nor have I taken poison; it will not hurt me; and if the sick person wanted to kill the doctor, would you not say that this fellow, who persecuted and wanted to kill his doctor, was not only sick but demented, mad, and irrational as well?... But this spiritual madness – that we do not want to accept help when God’s Son wants to help us – is ten times worse. Should our Lord God not be angry and let hellfire, sulfur, and pitch rain upon such ingrates? For besides being sinners, we are also so wretched as to reject help and chase away and kill those who urge us to accept it.

INSTRUCTIONS

Hi, I am sending this recipe from Madame Wong's Long-Life Chinese Cookbook
(1977). Even though it includes pork as the meat, I believe one could
substitute chicken or beef for the pork. The original name of this snack
was Spring Roll. In China, it is usually served for the New Year because it
is shaped like a 10-ounce gold bar, the symbol of wealth. Whenever it is
offered to guests they say, " May you have prosperity for the coming year."
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok. Stir-fry ginger and scallion 30 seconds or
until aroma comes. Add meat or chicken. Stir-fry 1 minute until color
changes. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sugar, and sherry. Cook 1 minute.
Remove. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok. Stir-fry cabbage, bamboo shoots,
mushrooms, and celery 1 minute. Remove. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in wok.
Stir-fry bean sprouts 1 minute. Remove. Combine meat or chicken with
vegetables in wok. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Stir-fry
until thoroughly heated. Remove to colander. Drain liquid. Cool mixture.
Set aside, ready to be used as filling. Put 2 heaping tablespoonsful of
meat or chicken mixture on each wrapping. Roll lengthwise into envelopes
about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Seal with dissolved cornstarch. Heat 4
cups oil to 375 degrees in wok. Deep-fry 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve with red wine vinegar or plum sauce. The rolls can be frozen, then
reheated in the oven or refried.
Chinese saying: Always find time for love, find the time to hold hands with
the one you love.
