Name: Pasties a la Upper Peninsula
Ingredients: 1 lb Finely-chopped round steak; 1 lg Onion, chopped; 2 Carrots, cleaned, chopped; 2 lg Potatoes, peeled, sliced; 1/3 c Chopped rutabega; Salt and pepper to taste (enough pepper to 'show' in the mixture); Butter; 2 Recipes of pie crust (not sweet)

The altar call is 'old fashioned' in only a very relative sense. It is old fashioned to us at this end of the twentieth century, but it first arose more than eighteen centuries after Christ. Now this may not prove that the altar call is wrong, but it surely demonstrates that the non-practice of the altar call is not wrong. If neither Jesus nor His apostles employed the method, and if they never commanded such to be done by the church, then it obviously cannot be wrong to decide against the more modern method. It is not a question of Biblical necessity but of modern custom and convenience. A church which refuses the practice can never be criticized for that refusal; indeed, such a church is at that point more in line with the apostolic church than are those churches which have adopted it.
