There is one thing which seldom gets weaker through old age – that is, old Adam; he is as strong in his old age as he is in his young age, just as able to lead us astray when our head is covered with grey hairs, as he was in our youth. We have heard it said that growing in grace will make our corruptions less mighty; but I have seen many of God’s aged saints, and asked them the question, and they have said, “No,” their lusts have been essentially as strong, when they have been many years in their Master’s service, as they were at first, although more subdued by the new principle within. So far from becoming weaker, it is my firm belief that sin increases in power.

INSTRUCTIONS

BUTTER CREAM FROSTING
Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and
spices in large bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs, add eggnog, pumpkin and
vanilla and blend thoroughly with electric mixer; stir into flour mixture
and blend well with mixer ( I mix on high for a minute or so). Pour mixture
into 2 greased 15x10x1 pans. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, depending on
how fast your oven is (start testing at 18-20 min.). Let cool completely
and frost with butter cream frosting.
Butter Cream Frosting: Soften butter and cream cheese (near melted) and
cream together with vanilla and brandy. Add sugar one C at a time until
mixed in, then beat with electric mixer until fluffy. Frost and enjoy!
This is not a low-fat, low-cholesterol delight, but a delight it is. Have
gotten rave reviews wherever I've taken it this holiday season. And don't
think this is too large a quantity; they will disappear in a heartbeat.
