Name: Frosted Spice Squares
Ingredients: 1 1/2 c Unbleached Flour; Sifted; 1 1/2 ts Baking Powder; 1 ts Ground Cinnamon; 1/2 ts Salt; 1/4 ts Ground Cloves; 1/4 ts Baking Soda; 1/2 c Vegetable Shortening; 1/2 c Sugar; 1 lg Egg; 1/2 c Molasses; 1/2 c Water; 1 1/2 c Confectioners' Sugar; 5 ts Milk; 1/2 ts Vanilla Extract

Oh, there is, in contemplating Christ, a balm for every wound! In musing on the Father, there is a quietus for every grief and in the influence of the Holy Spirit there is a balsam for every sore. Would you lose your sorrows? Would you drown your cares? Then go plunge yourself in the Godhead’s deepest sea; be lost in His immensity; and you shall come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated. I know nothing which can so comfort the soul, so calm the swelling billows of grief and sorrow; so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.

C.H. Spurgeon
