Spiritual leadership is not won by promotion, but by prayers and tears. It is attained by much heart-searching and humbling before God; by self-surrender, a courageous sacrifice of every idol, a bold uncompromising, and uncomplaining embracing of the cross, and by an eternal, unfaltering looking unto Jesus crucified. This is a great price, but it must be unflinchingly paid by him who would be a real spiritual leader of men, a leader whose power is recognized and felt in heaven, on earth and in hell.

INSTRUCTIONS

SALSA
Soft flour tortillas, 7 to 9 inch diameter, are filled with potatoes, bell=
peppers, and refried beans. We substituted a can of pintos that was
preseasoned with a bit of chipotle chili; coarsely chopped rather than
mashed the beans. This version is spicier than the original.
* Prepare the potatoes first. Drain and air cool. * Heat a little oil in
large skillet, saute onion and garlic until softened. Add a most of or all
of the remaining oil and add the bell peppers, potatoes, diced chili, and
cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until potatoes are a warm brown. Add the
beans and mix well.  Season with salt, pepper, cilantro, chili powder. Heat
through.
* Use vegetable spray to lightly coat a cookie sheet.  Set oven to
350F/180C. * Lay a tortilla on a cutting board and fill with 1/4 of the
skillet's mixture, along one edge so that you can roll the tortilla into a
buritto. Place the tortilla on the sheet with folded side up; repeat. Use a
little vegetable spray on each folded tortilla. * Scatter the grated cheese
on top along the fold.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. ** Meanwhile, mix the
salsa ingredients in order listed, adding more or less tomato juice as
needed.  Do not add the lime juice at this time.  Use a hot pepper sauce
sparingly to taste.  Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir and refresh
with lime juice. (Note: leave peel on cucumber for more color and fiber.
Scrub well.)
Cooks TIP: If tortillas have been in the refrigerator for a while, put a
splatter screen on top of the pot while the potatoes are cooking and soften
the tortillas with steam. Wrap in foil, if necessary, to keep warm and
pliable.
