What tranquility will there be in heaven! Who can express the fullness and blessedness of this peace! What a calm is this! How sweet and holy and joyous! What a haven of rest to enter, after having passed through the storms and tempests of this world, in which pride and selfishness and envy and malice and scorn and contempt and contention and vice are as waves of a restless ocean, always rolling, and often dashed about in violence and fury! What a Canaan of rest to come to, after going through this waste and howling wilderness, full of snares and pitfalls and poisonous serpents, where no rest could be found.

Cut the chuck in six pieces, trimming away fat. Saute a few pieces of meat
at a time in hot fat in a six-quart pot. Season the meat as it browns on
all sides. Remove the meat to a platter. Brown the remaining meat. After it
is removed from the pot reduce the heat; add the onions and garlic. Cook
until soft but not brown, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add fines heres
and cinnamon. Replace the meat in the pot. Cover and simmer for one and a
half hours or bake in 325-degree oven. Turn the meat from time to time.
Remove the meat to a platter. Place the chicken legs in the pot, seasoning
with salt, pepper, paprika, and cinnamon. Add the aprocots, placing the
meat back in teh pot on top of them. Cook until the chicken is tender,
turning from time to time to evenly brown the chicken. Be careful to keep
the apricots from the bottom of the pan. Cook about one hour. Add water
only irf the dish is in danger of burning. Add the carrots 30 minutes
before serving. Place them in the bottom of the pot so they cook in the pan
juices. Taste and correct the seasoning, adding lemon juice and brown sugar
to taste. Generously serves six to eight.
