We lodged at Mazères, where we called on the Protestant minister Bésière, a most open-hearted Christian. He knew some of our Society, and wherever this is the case it insures us a welcome. On our telling him the dangers we had encountered on the road, and that we had escaped unhurt, he sweetly said, "The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them."
His last words, when parting with his beloved associate, late in the evening, were, "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him." The character of Mr. Parsons was transparent and lovely. Few of those distinguished for piety leave a name so spotless.
About a score of grave, decent people did meet there, sitting still and quiet for a pretty while, when one of their number, a venerable man, spake a few words, mostly Scripture; then a young woman, who, I did afterwards learn, had been hardly treated by the Plymouth people, did offer a few words of encouragement and exhortation from this portion of the 34th Psalm: "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."

"I'll back Vermont bone an' muscle agin' the hull passel of ye, even if I be a deacon. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him." "The angel needn't hurry hisself," said Tom Dosser, picking himself up, one joint at a time. "Ef that's the crowd yer travelin' with, and they've got a grip anything like yourn, I don't want nothin' to do with 'em."
"They looked unto Him and were lightened." Was not her darkness already broken as by a beam from His face? "This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and delivered him out of all his troubles." "The angel of the Lord encampeth about them that fear Him, and delivereth them." "The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry."
"The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them." It was this angel that stood with Daniel in the den of lions and with the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace.
As he looks upon that strange appearance of the chariot and horses of fire that parted him and his friend, he sees once more 'the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof, the reappearance of the shining armies whose presence had of old declared that 'the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them. And now the same hosts in their immortal youth, unweakened by the ages which have brought earthly warriors to dust and their swords to rust, are flaming and flashing there in the midday sun.
And they, and only they, who begin in the valley of weeping, confessing their sins and imploring forgiveness through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Lord, will rise to heights of a joy that remains, and remaining, is full. 'The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them. PSALM xxxiv. 7.
It was a tranquil morning, but very cloudy. All was deep stillness in the house. Little did Mrs Franklin and her daughter think, as they read together before parting for the night those comforting words, "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them," that such foes and such protectors were so close at hand.
