7 Washington, Ileb. 28. -In this discourse
Dr. Talmage takes a rnost exalted theme
and makes it practical and useful to the
/est degree. The subject is "Wings of
Seraphim," and the text Is Isaiah vi, 2,
-"With twain he coveied his face, and
With twain he covered his feet, and
Witle twain be did fly." -

religious things, as one is apt to do in
'time of great national bereevement,' and,

two sons, who made up his family, he
has a dream, not like- the dreams of
ordinary character, which generally come
from indigestion, but a vision most in-
structive and under the touch of the hand
of the Almighty.

temple a throne higher and grander than

Christ. In lines, surrounding that throne,
the brightest celestials, not the cherubim,
but higher than they, the most exquisite
and radiant of the heavenly inhabitanti
-the seraphim. They are called burners
because they look like fire. Lips of lire,
eyes ot flre feet of fire., In addition to th
features arid the limbs, whioh suggest

Standing there, overpowered by th
overmatching splendors of God's glory
and unable longer with -the eyes to loo

shaded from the insufferable ; glory, th
pinions gather over the countenance
"'With twain he did cover the face.'

The most practical and useful lesson
'for you and me -when we see the seraph
,anreading his wings over the feet -is the
;lesson of humility at imperfection. The
brightest angels of God are so fax be
neath (led that he charges them with
folly. The seraph so far beneath God,
and we so far beneath the seraph in ser
vice, we ought to be plunged in humility,
,uttor and complete. Our feet, how lag-
gard they have been in the divine service
Our feet, how many missteps they have
:taken! O'er feet, in how many paths 'of
worldliness and folly they have walked!
__Neither God nor seraph intended to put
any dishonor upon that which is one of
:the masterpieces of Almighty God -the
',human foot. Physiologist and anetomist
,are overwhelmed at the wonders of its
lorganizatiozi. "The Bridgewater Treat-
ise," written by'Sir Charles Bell, on the
• wisdom and -gooduess of God as illus.-
'trated in the human hand, was a result
of the a40,000 bequeathed in the last will
and. testament of the Earl of Bridgewater
:for the encouragement of Christian liter-
ature. The world coald afford to forgiye
his ecoentricities, thaugh he had two
, dogs seated at his table and though he
put six dogs alone in an equipage drawn
. by four horses and attended by two foot-
men. With his large bequest inducing Sir
(Charles Boll to write so valuable a book
on the trindinn of God in the stricture of
the human hand, the world could afford
ito forgive his oddities. And the world
could xt6W afford to have aiciother Earl of

There was an engineer of the name of
Strasicrates who was 'in the employ of
Alexander the Great, and he offered to
hew a mountain in the shape of his mas-
ter, the emperor, the enormous figure to
hold in the loft hand a city of 10,000 in-
habitants while with the right hand it
was to ho'ld a blasin large enough to col-
lect all the 4:mutate torrents. Alexander
applauded him for his ingenuittn but for-
bade the enterprise because of e its costli-
ness. Yet I. have to tell you that our
Ring holds in one hand all the cities of
the earth and all the oceans, while he
has the stars of heaven for his tiara.

• Rise, my soul,. and Stretch thy wings.
I hear the rustle of pillions in Alex-
ander Pope'S stanza, where he says: -
0 death, where is thy victory4
A dying Christian not long ago cried
out, "Wings,. wings, wings!" The air is
full of them coming and going, coming
and going. 'You have seen how the dull,
sluggish chrysalis becomes the bright
butterfly -the dull and the stupid and
the lethargic turned int) the alert and
the beautiful. Well, my friends, in this
world we are in the chrysalid state,
Death will unfurl the wings. Oh, if we
could only'realize what a grand thing it
will be to get rid of this old clod of the
body and mount the heavens! Neither sea

See the eagle in the mountain nest? It
-looks so sick, so ragged feathered, so

you it is the molting season with that
bird. Not dying,' but molting. You see
that Christian sick and weary and worn
out and seeming about to expire on what
is called his deathbed? The world says he
is dying. I say it is the molting season
for his soul -the body dropping away,
the celestial pinloos coming on. Not dy-
ing, but molting, Molting out of dark-
ness and sin aud struggle into glory Wed
into God. Why do you not shout? Why
do you sit shivering at the thought of
death and trying to hold back and wish-
ing you could stay here forever and speak
of departure as though the subject were
filled with the skeletons and the varuish
of coffins and as though. you preferred
Jame foot' to swift wing? .
Oh, people of God, let us stop playing
the fool and prepare for rapturous flight.

He Knew Tennyson.
Lord Tennyson was a subject of won-
der to mealy vountry people. His slouched
hat shocked their ideas of propriety, and
his long cloak invested him with a kind
of supernatural mystery.
That they had rather vague ideas of
his ocoupation is illustrated by the an-

"I don't know what they means, but
p'licemen sees him walking about aemak-
ing of 'em under the stars."
Bishup Wilberforce states that when
walking one 'day near Aldworth, where
Tennyson had a residence, he met a
laboring man, from whom it occurred W-
him to draw some opinion of the poet.
"Me. Tennyson lives here, does he
