ENTERTAINING ANGELS
UNAWARES"
BY THE REV. CHARLES sTEIzI.E


We have had IL urged upon that needy
strangers should be turned away from DOORS for
by taking them in may be entertaining angels
unawarcs."
Which Is sound advice But the story upon which
this cxhortation is founded would lead to go
further In the matter OF Entertainment"
Lot lived over near Sodom. Now Sodom hadn't
very good reputation. Some very wicked men lived
in the town.
One evening two strangers approached Lots home
and he went out to meet them and invited them to
remain with him. But they declared that they pre-
ferred TO spend the night the streets.
Lot insisted that they come into his home. and
finally they consented. Then the mob OF
sodoms citizens. demanding that Lot surrender the
two strangers And Lot refused. He ready TO
surrender anybody else but not his guests And the
mob stormed his door.
Then the strangers-who were angels in disguise"
struck the mob with blindness and Lot and his fam
lily escaped.
Now that's the story. To get the blessing that
angels" bring means more Of a sacrifice than that
which comes for example. from giving a stranger "a
cup OF cold water'-which brings its own reward.
Angels blessings" to those who diligently
seek opportunities to help others-not to those who
reluctantly give handout to persistent beggars.
