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

Place molasses in a large bowl, add soda which has been dissolved in water
and melted lard. Mix well. Add slightly beaten eggs, sifted flour and
ginger. Beat well. If dough seems to sticky & soft can add more flour
enough to make a stiffer batter. Chill well. Roll out on a floured board,
very thin, and cut into animal shapes (or use a round cutter). Bake 350 F.
10-15 minutes. 5 dozen very soft cookies. I make them big and cut them a
little thicker. Posted to Bakery-Shoppe Digest V1 #176 by "William & Evelyn
