in Grace Presbyterian Cliuren,

Brooklyn, New York, recently, Rev. Robert HI Carson, pastor, preattied Un “Oornelius-A Man Approved of God." The text was from Acts '. 3 and 4. Among oth-er t-hingis he sid.

Cornelius, the centnrion, was the first Gentile received into the Chrlst.~ ian Church. He was stationed with his troops in the garrison town of pn(-sei'ea and there an angel of Grd appeared unto him with tlie-'message of our text. It was tho 'divine plan in earlier

days to make k-ncwn the iieavenly will through tlze medium of aiigelic, visitants. Th:\ (ll-d Testament. givw ns numerous instance-;~i .wherein tiff, saints ‘and prophets are shown as holding converse with the-in and learning what they are to do in ~'in;-~.~ iui cnsr.s.Ahraham, Moscs Isaiah had converse with angels and were help:-.fl hy them in critical days of thpii um. tory. in thc Ncw 'I`cs_tniiirnt it is thc siuiic. Luke, Paul, Peter, our blessoil i,ord H‘imB0lf were all at some time or other iivtheir careers visited by angels who were in-dccd to tnicni :rin _ isis-ring spirits. _ Wi- do not in these days hear of_

,my such visii'.a.ti-oiis, 'l`hc mnn :_-f moiicrii times who would affirm thai' an angel had appeared and spokon unto him would be viewed with sus-_ picion; and justly so, by his fellow-i men. God fulfils himself in inn.iiv§ ways. The gifts and powers gr:i~il.ed unto the apostle-s lii~.\'c,iiiluri;c1 measure, been witlnlrawii from the' church of todav. Iii a sciisc runny oi tliciii ara no Tonger uecill-d as "1--v \vcri.- needed when the faith wfis in its infancy, and humanly speaking, luv at the mercy of wicked and dcsiicnliigyl nicii.

Tie that as it may, let vis inrvf.r

forget one lesson that is clearly Sven iii the story of Cornelius--tliat God had manifold ageiicics of help for those who trust. und l<.\'1.‘ und scI`\'c fliin. Not a-ny one who is strivinil lu lic good _ and do iood is culled to than warfare on his own chnrswl hc has inany mighty unseen forces ul' rnyed for his help, his comfort. and security.
