Man is like a tree. His heart, not his will alone, is the root. There is no possible way by which the will can choose to produce fruit contrary to the character of the root. If the root is bad, the tree is bound by its very nature to produce evil fruit. Man is like a person standing alongside his treasure chest. There is no possibility of bringing pure gold out of a box filled only with rusty steel. The contents of the heart determine what words and deeds may be brought out. Far from being neutral, the will must reach into the heart for its choices. Every thought, word and deed will partake of the nature of the treasure within. Man is like a stream which cannot rise above its source. If the fountain is polluted, the outflow will be evil. If the source be sweet, the stream will not be bitter and cannot choose to be so. These three illustrations alike contain the same lesson. What a man is determines what he chooses. Choices of the will always reveal the character of the heart, because the heart determines the choices.

INSTRUCTIONS

Trim the ribs, including fat and membrane, leaving the rack of ribs whole
and at room temperature.
Combine all other ingredients except the honey and brown sugar. Lay ribs
flat in a glass or ceramic dish and pour marinade over them. Allow to
marinate at least 4 hours; better still, refrigerate overnight for maximum
flavor. Bring to room temperature before grilling.
Remove ribs from marinade. Scrape marinade from ribs with a rubber spatula
and reserve. Grill ribs over a slow fire for about 40 minutes, turning
frequently; fire should not flare up and burn them.
Place reserved marinade in a saucepan and add sugar and honey. Heat only
until the sugar is dissolved. Brush on ribs and continue grilling about 20
minutes more, basting as often as necessary to keep ribs moist.
Slice ribs just before serving. To serve, put 2 to 3 tablespoons of sauce
on a plate and lay 2 or 3 ribs on top.

NOTES : Jack Burson, a friend from Birmingham, Alabama, has told me that
his hometown offers some of the best barbecue he has eaten. Now that he's a
neighbor in New York, we cook together frequently. Here is our version of
one of the best-ever barbecue sauces.
