Ministry of Angels

By I. H. Evans

By ELDER I. H. EVANS

ARE ANGELS the souls of the departed, the disembodied spirits of the dead, or a higher order of beings than man? Were they created? And what is their place in God’s great family? Are there evil angels as well as good angels? And if so, were they so created, or have they apostatized from their former sinless state? If they did apostatize, how and when did it come about? May they not have access to the minds of mankind, and thus cause some of the phenomena of modern spiritism which are puzzling scientists to-day? Was Satan himself an angel at one time? If so, how did he become the archdeceiver, the enemy of all righteousness, the devil?

Do we each have a guardian angel? If so, what are his duties? Are there really such beings as recording angels, who keep records of our words and acts for reference in the future Judgment, or are all such references merely spiritual terms, which we, as finite beings, cannot fully grasp?

All these and many other questions of similar import regarding angels and their work are considered in the book that is just coming from the press, entitled “Ministry of Angels,” by Elder Evans. To those who are acquainted with the author’s clear, direct way of speaking and writing, it is unnecessary to say that this is a volume of unusual interest and importance. The following chapter titles show the order in which the subject is treated:

ANGELS EXISTED BEFORE MAN ANGELS REAL CREATED BEINGS THE FALL OF HEAVENLY ANGELS A HIGHER ORDER THAN MAN NUMBER OF THE ANGELS GLORY OF THE ANGELS POWER OF THE ANGELS RAPIDITY OF ANGELS’ MOVEMENTS THE GUARDIAN ANGELS THE RECORDING ANGELS AGENTS IN DIVINE REVELATION ANGEL MINISTRY TO ABRAHAM ANGEL MINISTRY TO JACOB ANGEL MINISTRY TO ISRAEL JESUS AND THE ANGELS ANGEL MINISTRY IN THE GOSPEL ANGELS AND THE SECOND ADVENT ANGELS AND THE REDEEMED IN GLORY

The book contains 227 pages, has a beautiful frontispiece representing an angel guarding two small children from imminent but unsuspected danger, together with engraved chapter headings and title page.
