Luke 1:11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. I think I see in this passage that a more special blessing attends the prayers offered up by God's ministers at the hours appointed by the Church, and that angels are more particularly present to carry up the sacrifice of prayer and praise then offered by the priest, on which hang (as it were) the supplications of the whole congregation. Consider this, O my soul, and let it be a constant incitement to thee never to forsake the house of thy God, when opportunity offers for thee to join thy prayers with those of all thy fellow-Christians.
