Lifting with the Angels.
By William A. Spicer
We shall soon be sending out from the Mission Board office the reading for Sabbath, July 6, the day of prayer and offering for the relief of the Christiania publishing house. Church elders will receive envelopes for distribution the Sabbath previous, so that every family may be prepared to bring an offering to swell the grand total that is to lift the burden in Christiania. Isolated Sabbath-keepers will also receive the reading so far as we have their addresses. It is always a happy task to “undo the heavy burdens.” The special message to us in this matter is, “Angels are your helpers.” What cannot be done if angels lift with every one! How many angels are our helpers?—“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” The promise will be verified that “this very work will prove a great blessing in the experience of all who lay hold of it.” Plan for the day of blessing, and talk for it, and do not ask the angels to help lift just a little load. Let us take on a burden worthy of a cause in which, by the tender mercy of our God, we shall have the good angels that excel in strength lifting with us. Other things than the Christiania debt will then be lifted. God himself will lift us all up on higher ground. W. A. SPICER,
Cor. Sec. Mission Board.
