"The angels who offer the smoke of the fragrant incense are ministering for the praying saints. Then let the prayers in every family rise steadily to heaven in the sunset hour, while these divine ministers are speaking before God, in our behalf, of the merits of the blood of a crucified and risen Saviour. . . Morning and evening the heavenly universe beholds every household that prays; and the angel with the incense, representing the blood of the atonement, finds access to God." (Ellen G. White, Home Missionary, Vol. 9, No. 10, November 1897, p. 222)
