There is no one gift which offers so strong a temptation both to vanity and to pride – as that of public speaking. If the orator really excels, and is successful, he is the immediate spectator of his success, and has not even to wait until he has finished his discourse; for although the decorum of public worship will not allow of audible tokens of applause, it does of visible ones – the look of interest, the tear of penitence or of sympathy, the smile of joy, the deep impression on the mind, the death-like stillness, cannot be concealed – all seem like a tribute of admiration to the presiding spirit of the scene; and then the compliments which are conveyed to his ear, after all the silent plaudits which have reached his eye – are equally calculated to puff him up with pride. No men are more in danger of this sin than the ministers of the Gospel; none should watch more sleeplessly against it.

INSTRUCTIONS

CRUST
FILLING
*Could use Cinnamon Crisp Cookies instead.
Blend the sour cream and cream cheese well and add the egg yolks (which
have been beaten first) and the other ingredients. Whip egg whites until
stiff and fold cheese and yolk mixture in CAREFULLY. Make sure it is all
incorperated. Pour into a springform pan and bake at 350 degrees for one
hour. Then leave door closed for one hour; and then oven door ajar for
last5 hour (3 in all). Cake is creamy and smooth and may crack a bit on
top. Good reason to make a strawberry topping.
This cake was given to Jeannie Toll by one of Mort's old girlfriends about
37 years ago. She gave it to me when Mort and I told her about our
engaement...hence the title. Betty Mondress gave me her 'recipe' card as
mine dissappeared years ago. I used my copy of the LEVITTOWN SISTERHOOD
COOKBOOK; (Pa..circa 1957) until it disintegrated. Of course i submitted it
as my own...<G>. Ellen; did you know that? Mom was 'bad'in her younger
days!!!
