In seeking after holiness we are not so much seeking after a thing as we are seeking a Person. The blessings of the gospel – election, justification, sanctification, glorification, and all the rest – have been deposited in no other treasury but Christ. We don’t just want holiness. We want the Holy One in whom we have been counted holy and are now being made holy. To run hard after holiness is another way of running hard after God.

VICTORY: Mix and with together flour; baking powder and salt.  Cream sugar
and shortening until fluffy as whipped cream.  (IF hard shortening is used,
cream thoroughly before adding sugar.  Vegetable shortenings come already
creamed and should be kept at room temperature at all times.) Add vanilla
extract.  Stir in the well beaten eggs. Add sifted flour mixture
alternately with milk, starting and finishing with flour. Blend thoroughly
between each addition, working quickly and lightly to keep the batter as
smooth and fluffy as possible. Bake in a prepared loaf pan, 9x5x3", in a
moderate oven 350 F. for about 50 minutes.  An 8" square pan 2" deep will
require about the same time.  Or bake in two prepared 9" layer cake pans at
375 F. for about 25 or 30 minutes.
NUT LOAF CAKES: Add cinnamon to the flour mixture before sifting.  Add nuts
to the finished batter.
PEANUT BRITTLE CAKE:  Use only 1/2 cup sugar instead 3/4 cup.  Add crushed
peanut brittle to finished batter.
CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE:  Divide batter in half. Melt chocolate over hot
water; add to 1/2 half of batter.  Drop batters by alternate alternate
tablespoons into a greased, paper-lined loaf pan.
CHOCOLATE SPICE CAKE: Add cloves and cinnamon to flour before sifting. Add
1/2 grated orange rimd to creamed sugar and shortening.  Melt chocolate
over hot water.  Add to creamed mixture.
CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE:  Fold semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely grated, into
finished batter.
SPICY RAISIN CAKE:  Add cloves, cinnamon and allspice to flour mixture
before sifting.  Add raisins to flour and spice mixture after sifting. Fold
into creamed mixture alternately with milk in the usual way.
MOCHA NUT CAKE: Substitute coffee for milk.  Add chopped nuts to finished
batter.
