If a skillful workman can turn a little earth and ashes into such curious transparent glasses as we daily see, and if a little seed that bears no show of such a thing can produce the more beautiful flowers of the earth; and if a little acorn can bring forth the greatest oak; why should we once doubt whether the seed of everlasting life and glory, which is now in the blessed souls with Christ, can by Him communicate a perfection to the flesh that is dissolved into its elements?

INSTRUCTIONS

Makes 12 main-dish servings Ice water Fresh chives for garnish About 1 1/2
hours before serving: 1. In a medium bowl, stir flour and salt; cut in
shortening to resemble coarse crumbs. Stir in 6 to 7 tablespoons ice water,
a tablespoon at a time, until pastry just holds together. 2. Roll
three-fourths of pastry into a rectangle 3 inches larger all around than
13x9-inch baking dish. Line baking dish with pastry; trim pastry edge,
leaving 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang under; firmly press edge onto rim.
3. Roll trimmings and remaining pastry 1/8-ich thick. With floured 1/2 inch
round canape cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Moisten edge of
pastry rim with water; place rounds on edge, overlapping slightly; press
with fingertips. Reroll trimmings and cut more rounds if necessary. 4. In
large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add
eggs, one at a time, until blended, scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Beat
in milk and next 5 ingredients. 5. Preheat oven to 375 F. Sprinkle shredded
cheeses evenly over bottom of pie crust; pout egg mixture over cheeses. If
you like, arrange fresh chives on top to make a pretty design. Bake 45
minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
