seen an angel? Would you recognise one if you did? I’m not sure
that I would. We
seem
to be becoming a society more and more intrigued with the supernatural,
the occult and all things that go bump in the night! Do you think
there really is a spiritual world out there that just sometimes
overlaps into our physical world? 
s
a boy I was most impressed by the story from a missionary returning
home from Africa on furlough. He was a doctor and told us
that there was a time when he had no money and needed to go down
to the railhead to collect monies sent from England. Problem:
there were tribal lands to cross where they would kill him if
they caught him. He took just one black lad with him, hurried
down to the railhead, collected from the bank and set off for
home. As darkness came in he knew they would not get through the
tribal country before nightfall. The two of them, praying fervently,
laid down to sleep in a hollow on the hillside. At dawn they were
up and away rejoicing that their God had protected them. Later
the chief of the enemy tribe arrived at the mission hospital for
treatment. The doctor told him of the journey and of their deliverance.
"I know," said the chief, "we couldn’t attack because
you were surrounded by 23 soldiers." The doctor laughed and
said, "No, it was only the lad and me." When back in
England he recounted the experience to his church. A member asked,
"When was that?" Upon examining the date he said there
were 23 church members at the prayer meeting that night!
