Name: Scheiterhaufen (Log Pyre)
Ingredients: 6 Sliced rolls or an equivalent amount of sliced; White [French] bread; 4 tb Sugar; 3 To 4 eggs; 1 ts (heaped) cinnamon; 125 g Raisins and sultanas (4 1/2 oz); 1/4 l Milk (1 cup plus 1 Tbsp); 1 ds Salt; 75 g Butter (1/3 cup)

It is common to hear people saying on their deathbeds, “I only want the Lord to forgive me my sins, and take me to rest.” But those who say such things forget that the rest of heaven would be utterly useless if we had no heart to enjoy it! What could an unsanctified man do in heaven, if by any chance he got there? Let that question be fairly looked in the face, and fairly answered. No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element, and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits, and character. When an eagle is happy in an iron cage, when a sheep is happy in the water, when an owl is happy in the blaze of noonday sun, when a fish is happy on the dry land - then, and not till then, will I admit that the unsanctified man could be happy in heaven.
