[A pastor’s] work, when earnestly undertaken, lays us open to attacks in the direction of depression. Who can bear the weight of souls without sometimes sinking to the dust? Passionate longings after men's conversion, if not fully satisfied (and when are they?), consume the soul with anxiety and disappointment. To see the hopeful turn aside, the godly grow cold, professors abusing their privileges, and sinners waxing more bold in sin – are not these sights enough to crush us to the earth? The kingdom comes not as we would, the reverend name is not hallowed as we desire, and for this we must weep. How can we be otherwise than sorrowful, while men believe not our report, and the divine arm is not revealed?

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

a spoon, beat until well mixed.
Combine the flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and salt in a bowl
and stir with a fork until well mixed.
Add to the liquid ingredients and stir until blended.
To make 2 1/2-inch round cookies use 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie (I
use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, but you can roll the dough into
1-tablespoon-size balls by hand if you don't have a scoop.) Drop the dough
2-inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Pat each rounded ball down just a
trifle.
Bake for 10 or 11 minutes.
Yields 48 cookies
