So, in all ages, angels have been near to Christ's faithful followers. The vast confederacy of evil is arrayed against all who would overcome; but Christ would have us look to the things which are not seen, to the armies of heaven encamped about all who love God, to deliver them. From what dangers, seen and unseen, we have been preserved through the interposition of the angels, we shall never know, until in the light of eternity we see the providences of God. Then we shall know that the whole family of heaven was interested in the family here below, and that messengers from the throne of God attended our steps from day to day.

Sådan har engle til alle tider været Guds trofaste disciple nær. Ondskabens store hær står rustet mod alle dem, der ønsker at sejre, men Kristus vil, at vi skal se hen til de ting, som man ikke ser, til de himmelske hære, der slår lejr omkring alle dem, der elsker Gud, for at udfri dem. Vi vil aldrig få at vide, fra hvor mange farer, både synlige og usynlige, vi ved engles mellemkomst er blevet bevaret, før vi i evighedens lys forstår Guds forsyns nåde. Da skal vi komme til at se, at hele den himmelske familie var interesseret i familien hernede,og at udsendinge fra Guds trone vågede over vore skridt fra dag til dag.
