Just a Moment
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John q. ouInius. the
Sunshine Man.

Angelic Business (John Xxx. 12.)-There
were two angels at the tomb where
Jesus had lain. They were not there
for ornament, but for service. We make
too little angelic MINISTRIES In this
world. Are we afraid of the teaching +?
In the Old Testament their activities
were conspicuous. When Christ came
they heralded His coming. They are
here at the tomb now. to roll away the
stone which was too heavy for the
women. They were there also for the
protection Of the women, and had any
soldier dared lift his hand against these
shrinking women, an angel would have
stepped between them. They were here
TO sympathixe and bring cheer to the
crushed hearts. They were also present
Ia make the women understand that
Christ was Lord of angels as well as
men; that He was the King of the seer
and the unseen world. Let us be
friends with the upper world, n seek
to know Ii better. How often we have
been helped by unseen ones, or hin
dered from hell by interfering angels
God only knows. Remember today:
THE angels Of the Lord e~ncainpeth
round about them that fear him."--G.

She says wisely that she has no in

How shall she get out OF 1t? BY at
