the form of human beings. As strangers they converse with those
who are engaged in the work of God. In lonely places they have
been the companions of the traveler in peril. In tempest-tossed ships

learn the language of the heavenly angels, who, if we are faithful, will
be our companions through the eternal ages.—

of God were commissioned to guard us as we followed the counsel of

who marked his resting place, who was the first to greet him in the

resurrection morning—what will it be to hold converse with him, and
to learn the history of divine interposition in the individual life, of
heavenly cooperation in every work for humanity!—
