The Whole subject is relegated to the reelau mythical" weird. spectral and unknown, Such adjournment, is un. eriptural and wicked. t)f their life, their eharac,- ter. their habits, their actions, their velocities, the Bible gives us full length portraits, and why this pro.. longed and absolute silence eeneern.. 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 only the rim of the wheel of worlds. In a moment the angel Gabriel flew from that center to this periphery, Jesus. told Peter he could instantly= have 00,000 angels present if he call- ed for them. What foot ot antelope or wing of albatross could equal that velocity? Law of gravitation, zvhich grips all things else, has no influence upon angelic momentum. Immensi- ties before them open end shut like a fan. That they are here is no reason witthe should t b tillion y eou oan Y s. na o [l at miles bence the next minute. Our bodies binder us, but our minds cart circle the earth in ai. minute. Angelic beings are bodiless and have no 'heti- teflon. God may with his Anger point down to some world m trouble on the outmost limits of creation, and instataily an angelic cohort is there to help it, or some celestial may be standing at the farthermost outpost of immensity. and Clod may say "Comte"' and instantly it is in his bosom. Another remark I have to make concerning these illustrious innaaaor. tails 15 that they are multitudinous, Their comets has never been taken and no sue hut find knows haw many they are, bat all the Bible ac- counts suggest their immense atutn- lwrs-co mpanies of then, regiments of them, armies of them, mountain tops haloed by thein. skies populous with them. John moons of areags and other beings round the throne as ten thousand tions len thousand, ;Sam, according to niy calculation, ten thousand times ten tliousatad are 100,000.000. But these are only the angels in one place. I1aa id counted 110.000 of them rolling down the sky in chariots. When Gucl [mite away from the riven rocks of Mount Sinai. the Bible says he had the compan- ionship of omnpanionship-of 10,U00 angels. I think they are in every battle, in every exi- gency, at every birth, at every pil- low, at every hour, at every moment, they earth full of thein. They out-` number the human race in this world, They outnumber ransomed spirits in glory. When Abraham had his knife uplifted to slay Isaac, it was an an- gel tvho arrested the stroke, crying, "Abraham. Abraham!" It was an, stairway of angels that Jacob saw while pillnwrsl in the wilderness, We are told an angel led tho hosts of Israelites out of Egyptian serfdom. It was an angel that showed Hagar the fountain where she filled the bot - for tate lad. It was an angel that took Lot out sof doomed Sodom. It was an mime that shut up the mouth. of the hungry monsters when Ilnniel was thrown into the caverns. It was an angel that fed Elijah under the juniper tree. It was an angel that announced to Mary the approaching nativity, They were angels that chanted when Christ was born. It was an angel that strengthened our Saviour in his agony. It was an an- gel that encouraged. Paul in the Mediterranean shipwreck. It was an angel that burst open the prison, gate after gate, until Peter was lib- erated. It was an angel that stirred. the pool of Siloam, where the sick were healed. It was an angel that John saw flying through the midst of heaven, and an angel with foot planted on the sea, and an angel that opened the book, and an angel that sounded the trumpet, and an angel that thrust in the sickle, and an an- gel that poured out the vials, and an angel standing in the sun. It will be an angel with uplifted hand swear- ing that time shall be no longer. In the great final harvest of the world the reapers are the angels. Yea., the Lord shall be revealed from heaven with mighty angels. Oh, the num- bers and the might and the glory of these supernals - fleets of them, squadrons of them, host beyond host, rank above rank, millions on mil- lions, and all on our side if we will have them' • 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 immortal spirit and the other foo lifted for ascent into the skies. R Some prayer detain him until he ca tell of a 'repentant and ransoms soul! Or you were some time born down with trouble, bereavement persecution bankruptcy, sickness an all manner of troubles beating thei discords in your heart and life. You gave up.

But suddenly your • mind brightened.`Courage carne surging into your heart like oceanic: tides. You said, "God` is on my side, and all these adversities he can make turn out for my good:" Suddenly you felt a peace, a deep' peace, the peace of God that passeth all under- standing. What made the change? A' gel of the Lord met you. That wee all. Men and women of all circwn-. stances, only partly appreciated or not appreciated at all, never feel: lonely again or uciregarded againt Angels all around: angels to approve, angels to help, angels to remember.. Yea, while all the good angels are friends ot the good, there is one special angel your bodyguard. This idea until this present study of an. gelogy I supposed to be fanciful. but 1 :find it clearly stated in the Bible, When the disciples were praying for Peter's deliverance front prison and he appeared at the door of the pray- er meeting, they could not believe it was Peter, The, said, "It is an one gel," So these disciples, in special nearness to Christ, evidently believed that every worthy soul has an angel. Jesus. said of his followers, "Their angels. behold the face of my 1l'a- ther."" Elsewhere it is said, "He shall give his angels charge over thee, to. keep thee in all thy ways." Angel shielded. angel protected, an- gel guarded, angel canopied, art thou! :Co wonder that Cherie* Wes- ley hymned these words:. Which of the petty kings of earth Can boast a guard like ours, Encircled from our second birth With all the heavenly powers?

The first coming of frost marks the preserving season for many housekeei� ers, partly because green tomatoes pears, apples and quinces are likely to be lower in price then than early In the season, and also beeause the work more pleasant with the less ardent temperature of autumn mornings. It is hardly necessary to say that preserving does not change the quaditj of fruit, 4, poor, flavorless apple et pear will mate an insipid preserver, Fruit Should be well ripened, but not neellete as firiuness is essential in pro Pears and quinces are usually best for the purpose when pieked somewhat green and ripened In a cool, dry place in the house. Tinless you prefer leathery preserves do not sprinkle the sugar over the fruit and allow it to stand and suck out the fruit juice. The quince as a preserve has a very uncommon anti characteristic flavor of its own to reeor mend it, besides the beautiful red color It takes when cook- ed long enough. For this preserve pare, core and quarter the quinces. Put these In the preserve pan with just sufficient water to covrr them Boil until begin• 'ling to'get tender and then carefully lift out the Milt, To mit pound allow were to be erre, utud, they boils • half pound of sugar. anti ler each were ht saw angels standing three pounds of sugatr allow one plot thWith two theylittering crows►s, saying of water, ineluding; what remained et "Be of good cheer, valiant soldiers the water in which the fruit was boil - of .Jesus Christi A little more of battle, and then these crowns - are Yours." And I ate glad to know that before many of those who have passed through great sufferings in this life some angel of God bus held sa blazing coronet of eternal reward. Yea, we are to have such a guardian angel to take us upward whee our work is done. ou know, we are told an angel conducted Lazarus to Abraham's bosom. That shows that none shall be so poor in dying he cannot afford. angelic escort. 11 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 enn, until after awhile heaven heaves in sight and the rumble. of chariot wheels and the roll of mighty har- monies are heard in the distance, and nearer you corns, and nearer still, until the brightness is like many mornings suffused into one, and yon aro inside the amethystine walls and on the bathes of the jasper sea, forever safe, forever free. forever well, forever rested, forever united, forever happy. Mothers. do not 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 r t t u the wrong, shun Sent 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- tleground of opposing nations. lt so happens that this world is the Bel- gium or battleground between the chael, the commander-in-chief, on one cgael, the commander-in-chief, on one side; Lucifer, as Byron calls him, or Mephistopheles, as Goethe calls him, or Satan, as the Bible calls him, the conunandei•-in.chief on the other side. All pure angelhood under the one leadership and.all abandoned angel - hood under the other leadership. Many a skirmish have the two ar- mies had, but the great and decisive battle is yet to be fought. Mean- while the battle is being set in ar- ray, and the forces celestial and de- moniacal are confronting each other. Hear the boom of the great cannon- ade already opened!

Among the residents of Port Robin- son there are few better known than Mr. Samuel Richards, who has resid- ed. iu that vicinity for some twenty, seven years. Mr. Richards came to Canada from Illinois, and is one of the veterans of the _American civil war, having been a ntembea of the dtlt Illinois regiment. Mr. Richards is also one of the vast array who bear willing and cheerful testimony to the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills foe Pale People. To a reporter who re- cently interviewed him he said: "I very gladly testify to the great merit of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. .i1 few years ago I fell a victim to one of the worst forms of kidney trouble. I was tortured with terrible pains across the bark. I could neither sit np or lie down with any degree of ease.

CGs#IOIT In APPLIQUE. susceptible to quick and easy execu- tion, while affording scope fur original- ity and the exercise of individual taste, Very satisfactory in popular work of this kind is a eharrniug linen applique, The method of exeeution 18 iserfeetly &ample, Two pieces of linen of contrast- ing colors are laid one ;shove another and securely tacked together, tbe de - elan being traced on the uppermost piece, upon which it is workd out. The stitches are of course carried through both, The working may be slight or elaborate, according to tbe taste or in- clination of the worker. The outline is carried out in firm, close buttonhole stitch, the tilling as fancy dictates. When completed, the uppermost layer of linen is cut away all round the de- sign, leaving the lower layer as a back- ground. In this part of the work great care is ot course necessary, as It 10 easy to cut the under fabric by Inad- vertence. Only the sharpest pointed. scissors should be used, as the outline must he clearly and cleanly cut. Other- wise there is little or uo difficulty In the execution of this exceedingly artis- tic and pleasing work. An excellent suggestion well suited for adaptation to linen applique is a cushion of leaf green applique upon Ivory. The cushion is backed and frill- ed with green and forms a charming; scheme of color. Sometimes applique is arranged as an all over design, as in a teacloth covered with trailing convolvulus. At others It forms a border. This is the case in some charming table centers in pale blue, pink or green linen, with a conventional applique border.

Handkerchief, glove and nightdress sachets are suitable sub- jects for this style of work, among the designs specially worthy of men- tion being one of daffodils applied to a ground of sky blue and another, quaintly conventional, with a scroll pattern in gold linen outlined in black on a cream background. Many workers have once more given In their allegiance to wool and canvas of a much subdued and mellowed or- der as compared with the wool work of clays gone by and capable of ex- ceedingly harmonious and pleasing ef- fects. A novel development of this re- vival is a variety of canvas work which hails from Paris and is but mildly reminiscent of the inartistic reign of glaringly' dyed Berlin wool which has causes tbe name of wool work to be regarded with disfavor. The example given is worked In squares, having in the center of each a kind of fleur-de-lis carried out in shades of greens and browns on a cream colored ground. The squares are separated by a fancy border out. lined in dark brown, with touches ot red and blue. Extent of His Superstition. "Are you superstitious?" "To a certain extent."
