If He says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, it matters little what censures men may pass on us. If He says, 'I never knew you, all their praises will not avail. 'Wherefore we labour that, whether present or absent, we may be well-pleasing to Him. 'Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven ... but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 COR. v. 8.
Add warm water enough to make it pliable and not too stiff: set in a warm place until it rises sufficiently and bake as directed above. It takes several hours to rise. I am afraid I shall discount my credit on camp cooking when I admit that if I must use fine flour I prefer unleavened bread; what my friends irreverently call "club bread."
Its solemn and universal importance in Gylingden and the country round, gave me, I fancied, some notion of what the feast of unleavened bread must have been to the Hebrews and Jerusalem. The connubial capabilities of Gylingden are positively wretched.
Very different was the celebration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the days of Antiochus Epiphanes from what it had been in the palmy times when the children of Israel were swayed by their own native kings.
'Solomon offered burnt offerings ... on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, which had a little more ceremonial than the Sabbaths, 'and on the solemn feasts three times in a year, which had still more ceremonial than the new moons, 'even in the Feast of unleavened bread, and in the Feast of weeks, and in the Feast of tabernacles. These were spring-tides when the sea of worship rose beyond its usual level, and they kept it from stagnating.
They who live in touch with Him who said, 'I will draw all men unto Me' will share His attractive power in the measure of their union with Him. The week after the passover feast was, according to the ritual, observed as the feast of unleavened bread. The narrative touches lightly on the ceremonial, and dwells in conclusion on the joy of the worshippers and its cause.
The "Fruit of the Vine," or pure unfermented or unleavened wine, has been organized by the Lord in the vegetable kingdom; it therefore not only contains water, but also organized nourishment for the structures of the body, which supply in a most remarkable degree the wants of the body, like a mother's milk to her infant child; it therefore most beautifully symbolizes blood, and corresponds to spiritual truth, united with good from the Lord, which nourishes and builds up the spirit of man, when he drinks or appropriates it, or when he lives as divine truth teaches, shunning evils as sins against God.
As for bread, try it unleavened once in a while by way of change. It is really very good, just salt, water, flour, and a very little sugar. For those who like their bread "all crust," it is especially toothsome. The usual camp bread that I have found the most successful has been in the proportion of two cups of flour to a teaspoonful of salt, one of sugar, and three of baking-powder.
Of these we have first, Shall the bread in the Eucharist be leavened or unleavened? About six hundred years ago the Latins began the use of unleavened bread.
Large salt fish, old cheese, old pickled meat, young new wine, evil-smelling and bitter foods are often poisonous. There are also some which are less harmful, but are not to be recommended as ordinary nutritive materials. Large fish, cheese, milk more than twenty-four hours after milking, the flesh of old oxen, beans, peas, unleavened bread, sauerkraut, onions, radishes and the like.
