Oatmeal Cookies – Old And New

It is critical that parents teach children the importance of obedience. Parents who neglect to hold their children accountable for rendering obedience fail them in that they do not help them along the path of Christian discipleship, of which obedience is a central component. Hence the primary importance of obedience is not for parents to receive their children's obedience, but for parents to help children to learn to exercise obedience ultimately in their relationship with God.

printed this cookie recipe on their oats package  in 1955 but I suspect
it was a favorite even before that.  Beat together shortening, sugars,
egg, water and vanilla until  creamy. Sift together flour, salt and
soda; add to creamed mixture;  blend. Stir in oats. Drop by
teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.  Bake in preheated 350 deg.F.
