ing them? A.ngdielog'y is my theme.
There are two nations of amide,
and they are hostile to each other
thenation of good angels and the na-
tion of bad angels. Of the former I
chiefly speak to -day. Their capital,
their heedegue;rters. their grand coni
dezvous, is heaven, but their empire
is the universe. They are a distinct.
:race of creatures. No human being
can ever join their confraternity.
The little child who In the Sabbath
sehool sings, "I want to be en an-
gel," will never have her wish grati-
fied. They are superhuinian, but they
are of different g,'rodes and ranks, not
all on the same level or the same
height. They have their Superiors
and inferiors and equals. I propose
neo guessing on this subject. but take
the Bible far my own authority.
Plato, the philosopher. guessed and
divided angels into supercelestial, ce-
lestial and subcelestial. I)iony'sius,
the Areopagite, guessed and divided
them into three classes, the supreme,
the middle and the last. and each of
time into three other classes, mak-
ing nine In all. Philo said that an-
gels were related to God, as the rays
to the sun. l'ulge'ntius said that
they were composed of body and
spirit. Clement said they were in-
corporeal. Augustine said that they
had been in danger of falling, but
now are beyond being tempted. But
the only authority on this subject
that I respect says they are divided
into cherubim, seraphim, thrones,
dominations, principalities, powers.
Their cotnutander--in-chief is Michael.
Daniel called him Michael. St. John
ca/led hint Michael. These supernal
beings are more thoroughly organ-
ized than any army that ever march-
ed. They are swifter than any cy-
clone that ever swept the sea. They
are more radiant than any morning
that ever came down the sky. They
have more to do with your destiny
and mine than any being in the uni
verse except God, Way the Angel of
the New Covenant, who is the Lord
Jesus, open our eyes and touch our
tongue and rouse our soul while we
speak of their deathlessness, theirin-
telligence, their numbers, their
strength, their achievements.
Yes, deathless. They had a cradle,
but will never have a grave. The
Lord remembers when they were
born, but no one shall ever see their
eye extinguished or their momentum
slow up or their existence terminate.
The oldest of them has not a wrinkle
or a decrepitude or a hindrance, as
young after 6;000 years as at the
close of their first hour. Christ said
to the good in heaven, "Neither aan
they die any more, for they are equal
unto the angels." Yes, deathless are
these wonderful creatures of whom I
speak. They will see world after
world go out. but there shall be no
fading of their own brilliance. Yea.,
after the last world has taken its
last flight, they will be ready for the
widest circuit through immensity,
taking a quadrillion of miles in ono
sweep as easy as a pigeon circles a
dovecot. They are never sick. They
are never exhausted. They need no
sleep, for they are never tired. A t
God's command they smote with
death, in one night, 185,000 of Sen-
nacherib's host, but no fatality can
smite them. Awake, agile, tnultipo-
tent, deathless, immortal!
There is .only one thing that puts
them to their wits' end, arse the
Bible says they have to study that.
They have been studying it all
through the ages, and yet I warrant
they have not fully grasped it -the
wonders of redemption. These won-
ders are so high, so deep, eo Errand,
• iso stupendous, so magnificent, that
even the intelligence of angelhood is
, confounded before it. The apostle
says, "Which things the angels de-
sire to look into." That is a sub -
'bet , that excites inquisitiveness on
their part. That is a theme that
strains their faculties to the utmost.
That is higher than they can climb,
deeper than they can dive. They
have a desire for something too big
for their ' comprehension. "Which
things the angels desire to look in-
to.' But that does not discredit
their Intelligence. No one but God
himself can fully understand the won-
ders of redemption If all heaven
should study it for 50 centuries, they
would get no further than the A B G
of that inexhaustible subjedt. But.
nearly all other realms of knowledge
they have ransacked and explored
and compassed: No one but God can
tell them anything they do not know.
They have read . to the last word of
the last line of the last page of the
last volume of investigation, and
what delights ane most is that all
their intelligence is to be at our dis-
sposal, and,, corning into their prem ■weet'and mighty and comferting an..
Bible tells us that Daniel was pray-
ing and Gabriel flew from heavenn and
touched him before he got up from
his knees. How far. then, did the.
angel Gabriel have to fly in those
moments at Daniel's prayer? ',Heaven
is thought to be the center et the
universe, Our sun and its planets

In a moment the angel Gabriel flew
from that center to this periphery,

or wing of albatross could equal that

This leads me to speak of the offi-
ces of these supernals. To defend, to
cheer, to rescue, to escort, to give
victory to the right and overthrow
the wrong -that is their business -
just as alert to -day and efficient as
when in Bible times they spread wing
or unsheathed sword or rocked down
penitentiaries or filled the mountains
with horses of fire and driven by
reinsmen of fire. They have turned
your steps a hundred times, and you
knew it not. You were on the way
to do some wromg thing, and they
changed your' course. They brought
some thought of Christian parentage
or of loyalty to your own home, and
that arrested you. They arranged
that some one should meet you et
that crisis and propose something
honorable and elevating, or they took
from your pocket some ticket to evil
amusement, a ticket that you Dever
found. It was an angel of God, and
perhaps the very one that guided ynu
to this service and that now awaits
to report some holy impression to be
made upon your soul, tarrying tvitl
one foot upon the doorstep of you

lifted for ascent into the skies. R
Some prayer detain him until he ca

down with trouble, bereavement

discords in your heart and life. You
gave up. 'You said: "I cannot start
it any longer I believe I will tae

istence?" But suddenly your • mind

You said, "God` is on my side, and

AUTUMN PRESERVING,
1 Few runts and Recipes For Apple*

Yea, we are to have such a guardian

would be a long way to go alone,
and up paths we have never trod,
and amid blazing worlds stinging
in unimaginable momentum. out and
on through. melt distances and across
swell intinitudos of space we should
shudder at the thought of going
alone.
But the angelic escort will come to
your languishing pillow or tho place
of your fatal accident and say:
"Hall, immortal one; All is well,
God hath scot ane to take you
home." And without a tremor or
slightest sense of peril you will away
and upward, farther on and farther

monies are heard in the distance,
and nearer you corns, and nearer

think your little children go alone
when they quit this world. Out of
your arms into angelic arms, out of
sickness into health, out of the
cradle into a Saviour's bosom! Not
an instant will the darlings be alone
between the two kisses the last
kiss of earth and the first kiss of
heaven. "Now, angels, do your
work!" cried an expiring Christian.
Yes, a guardian angel for each one
of you. Put yourself now in accord
with him. When he suggests the
right, follow it. When he warns you

t t u

againstr g„
forth from God to help you in this
great battle against sin and death,
accept his deliverance. When tempt-
ed to a feeling of loneliness and dis-
heartenment, appropriate the prom-
ise, "Tho angel of the Lord encamp-
eth around about them that fear him
and delivereth them,"
Paul had it right when he said,
"We wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places."
In that awful fight may God send us
mighty angelic re -enforcement! Wo
want all their wings on our side, all
their swords on our side, all their
chariots on our side.
Thank God that those who are for
us are mightier than those who are
against us! And that thought makes
me jubilant as to the final trhueaph.
Belgium, you know, was the battle-
ground of England and France. Yea,
Belgium more than once was the bat-

happens that this world is the Bel-
