And who and what are ministers themselves? Frail men, fallible, sinning men, exposed to every snare, to temptation in every form; and from the very post of observation they occupy, the fairer mark for the fiery darts of the foe. They are no mean victims the great Adversary is seeking, when he would wound and cripple Christ’s ministers. One such victim is worth more to the kingdom of darkness than a score of common men; and on this very account, the temptations are probably more subtle and severe than those encountered by ordinary Christians. If this subtle Deceiver fails to destroy them, he artfully aims at neutralizing their influence by quenching the fervor of their piety, lulling them into negligence, and doing all in his power to render their work irksome. How perilous the condition of that minister then, whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people! It is not in his own closet and on his own knees alone that he finds security and comfort and ennobling, humbling and purifying thoughts and joys; but it is when his people also seek them in his behalf that he becomes a better and happier man and a more useful minister of the everlasting gospel.

INSTRUCTIONS

This ultra-simple Italian recipe can be served over rice or pasta.
Any size of octopus will do.
Clean 600 to 800 g octopus and cut it into chunks.
Keep the ink sac if you want to add the ink to the sauce for a richer
flavour.  Brown 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic in 4 tablespoons of
olive oil, then add the octopus.  Cover and cook over a low heat for
10 minutes. Add 125 mL dry sherry and the contents of a large can of
Italian peeled tomatoes.  Break up the tomatoes, add the contents of
the ink sac if using and salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and cook
gently for about an hour, or until tender, stirring from time to time.
Makes 4 servings.
