September 30.
And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed
from heaven with his mighty angels.—II Thessalonians 1:7.
GOD employs angels to carry his saints to glory when they
die. The angels that take care of us on this earth, while
saints of the Most High, are not going to leave us when we go
down to the gates of death. How many times people say to me :
'' Can you tell us why it is that when a saint is dying he frequently
says, 'Oh, the angels have come! Don't you see them?' "
Yes,I can. It is God's appointed way, and their perceptions are
quickened. I cannot see the angels today, of course, as I shall
see them just as I enter the heavenly land. When the saints pass
away, the angels take their souls and they are "carried by the
angels." I do not expect to want any wings for my soul to fly
away on, for the angels will bear away every saint that passes
from this to the better land. —Graves.
I've almost gained my heavenly home,
My spirit loudly sings;
The holy ones, hehold they come!
I hear the noise of wings.
Oh, come, angel band,
Come and around me stand;
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home.

Have we no carols?—Are we deaf and dumb
Save to the great world 's money-murmuring hum !
Does God seem absent?— Are the angels gone?
—A. Matheson.
