16 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- TRY THIS SPLENDID FLOUR. Get a sack of Mother’s iSelf-Rising Flour today and try it first for bis cuits.

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.
