account for this victory?” We had
perfect field, in which to fight.” One
man said one thing, one another. Fi
three to one, a superior army, and a
nally, one arose and said, “I think
I know the secret of it.” They said,
“Well give it.” He replied, “Those
fellows had Jackson in their midst.”
And, my brethren, that is the secret
of victory in all life that abides. You
ask, ‘How is it that that man and
that woman seem to have such spir
ituality and experience? How is it
that that that church seems to over
ride all its difficulties and moves
straight ahead? And how is that
that community overcomes its diffi
culties and marches ahead in the
progress of civilization?’ How is
it? There is but one answer. That
man, that woman, that church, that
community has God in the midst.
When God is in the midst there is
no failure.
I remember when I first came two
years ago to take up the work of
this church some friends of mine in
this country said, “Are you not fear
ful of the outcome of your under
taking? I wonder whether you have
really counted the cost and seen
to confess, “No, I have not; I have
the problem ahead of me.” I had
practically seen nothing, but of this
I am sure, God is in the midst, God
is here to save.” And, my brethren,
as God is my Judge, today I have
no more fear about the ultimate is
sue of anything than I have about
my being in this pulpit this morning,
provided I can feel sure God is in the
midst. When God is in the midst
all the issues are from Him, and when
all the issues are from Him we may
rest assured that all victory is His,
and all the failure that the devil
may make can’t overcome. So I
feel, not only about, our own work
but all the work of the Kingdom of
God. The only thing that makes me
nervous about the work of the King
dom of God is to know whether un
der existing conditions God is in
the midst, for I know if God is in the
midst all the forces of evil can not
destroy it.
Finally, the protection of angels.
“For He shall give His angels charge
over thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways. They shall bear thee up in
their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone. Thou shalt tread
upon the lion and adder the young
lion and the serpent shalt thou tram
ple under feet.” I remember very
well the first time that text ever
gripped me; — a very, very gracious
experience in my life. For more
than three months 1 had been pros
trated upon a bed of illness, the re
sult of a long and terrible siege of
typhoid fever. When a few friends
were allowed to come and speak to
me they found me all to bits physi-

cally and nervously. I remember a
dear friend, one of my intimate as
sociates at that time —a splendid Bi
ble student though not a minister,
one of the best Bible students I had
up to that time ever known —as he
sat by my bed and saw I was so
nervous I could hardly lie on the
bed, and so overcome by emacia
tion that it looked like, “no hope;”
I can see that man as he leant over
and said, “Don’t despair for 'He shall
give His angels charge over thee to
keep thee in all thy ways.’” When
he went out of that room and T was
left alone I could almost feel the
very presence of the heavenly host.

I don’t know what you think of an
gels. I am not thinking of how they
look.. I hope you don’t think them
beings with wings, or all women or
children; that robs them of the ma
jesty and mightiness of their being.
To me they are somehow next akin
to the Trinity; so closely related to
Him as not to be pictured at all. An
gels everywhere, all about us all the
time. When we are high in spirits
and when we are low down; when
we are sick and feeble in body and
when we are strong and able; when
we are discouraged and when we are
encouraged; all the time, filling the
atmosphere, a host of them around
everyone of us. Thank God! they
are not with us simply when we are
on the mountain top or in- the val
ley; but in the valley and on the
mountain and all the time, the an
gels of God, the next akin to God,
the intermediaries between God and
man, ministering spirits doing the
will of God, often indicating the way
of Gcd. Oh, these are our heri
tage in the “shadow of the Al
mighty.”
