Now, if our Lord and Master selected this true Jerusalem blade of the Word of God, let us not hesitate for a moment but grasp and hold fast this one true weapon of the saints in all times. Cast away the wooden sword of carnal reasoning. Trust not in human eloquence but arm yourselves with the solemn declaration of God, who cannot lie, and you need not fear Satan and all his hosts. Jesus selected the best weapon. What was best for Him is best for you.

C.H. Spurgeon

In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, vinegar, oil and 1 teaspoon salt.
If desired, pit the olives.
Sort the beans by thickness, making several separate piles.
In a large pan, bring several quarts of water to boil. Add salt, if
desired. Plunge the thickest beans into the boiling water first. Count 1

salt and freshly ground pepper.
