Emphasis Preaching Journal

A man named Augustine, walking through a slave market in ancient Rome, saw a group of fair-haired Saxons chained together on the auction-block; asking who they were, he was told, "Angles." "No," he remarked, looking into their sad eyes, "not Angles, but angels." Augustine set off on a journey to the far-off land of England, "Angle-land." He is remembered to this day as Augustine of Canterbury, the man who evangelized England.
