The supreme test of goodness is not in the greater but in the smaller incidents of our character and practice; not what we are when standing in the searchlight of public scrutiny, but when we reach the firelight flicker of our homes; not what we are when some clarion-call rings through the air, summoning us to fight for life and liberty, but our attitude when we are called to sentry-duty in the gray morning, when the watch-fire is burning low. It is impossible to be our best at the supreme moment if character is corroded and eaten into by daily inconsistency, unfaithfulness, and besetting sin.

INGREDIENTS

6	oz	All-purpose flour, or Soda bread flour
1	ts	Bicarbonate of soda
12	oz	Wholemeal flour, plus extra
1	pn	Salt
2	ts	Brown sugar
15		F Buttermilk
1/2	oz	Butter, for greasing

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 200&deg;C/400&deg;F/Gas 6. Sift the soda flour and bicarbonate of
soda into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the wholemeal flour, salt and sugar,
until blended. Make a well in the centre and pour in almost all of the
buttermilk, stirring with a round-bladed knife or wooden spoon to form a
loose dough.
Butter a 2 lb loaf tin. Turn the dough into the tin, leaving the surface
rough. Sprinkle with a little extra wholemeal flour to give a nutty
surface. Set the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 30 mins, then reduce
the temperature to 150&deg;C/300&deg;F/Gas 2; cook for a further 30 mins until the
bread is well risen, brown and crusty on top. The bread is cooked when a
skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven, turn
out the loaf and wrap in a clean cloth; cool completely on a wire rack.
