Angelic Inflowings

We have always been the recipients of angelic inflowings. The lives of great men prove this fact conclusively. Columbus furnishes, in his first dangerous voyage across the mighty ocean, an example of the guidance of heavenly agencies, and of their holy, invisible guardianship. The Life of Washington, also, reflects an instance of the supernal guidance of guardian angels. What but the deep breathings of their still, small voices could have fortified his soul against the tide of oppression which threatened to overwhelm him and his little army in one common ruin?
