ANGELIC COMMUNICATIONS (1) A War-time Experience of angelic help in time of need The following is an account of contact during the War with an angel attached to a village church in France. The church was dedicated to St. Martin of Tours, and a strong thought-form of that Saint was used by the church angel31 as a vehicle through which to work. I This form was built at the consecration of the church, I and was no doubt used by the Saint to maintain I contact with the church which was dedicated to him. The Saint himself was not present continually in propria persona, but the existence of the thought-form enabled him continually to shed his beneficent influence upon his church and congregation. An angel was also attached to the church, and evidently used St. Martin’s form as one familiar to the people and as especially, appropriate to the help he gave to the author when a soldier; for St Marlin was himself a soldier and the friend of soldiers. Probably it was a combination of his own influence with that of the angel which helped so much in a time of great need. The account is given in the form in which it was written, shortly after the occurrence which it describes. Tanks, like many other instruments of warfare, express themselves largely by noise and movement. Inside the tank, the former characteristic is predominant, and outside, the latter. To those who have learned to love the silence, they are not the most desirable companions of daily toil; to live with them, to sleep in or under them, and to fight in them over a period of eighteen months is not the happiest of occupations for a lover of peace.
