Supernal 13einas W110 Give Warning • When 1vl Approaches -Next to ciod- They Control. the Destiny of the Ha- man Rase. Washington, Oct; 29. --The bril- liant beings supposed- by sothe to be imaginary are by Dr. Talmage in Inis sermon shown to be real -and to have' much to 'do with our everyday life. The. text is Judges xiii, 19, "And the angel did wondrously." Fire built on a rock. Manoah and his wife had there kindled the flames for sacrifice in praise of God and in honor of a guest whom theysup- posed to be a man. But as the flame rose higher and higher their stranger guest stepped into the flame and by one -red- leap ascended into the skies. Then they knew that was an angel of the Lord. "The angel did won- drously.' Two hundred and forty-eight times does the Bible- refer to the angels, yet 1 never heard or read a sermon • on angelology. The whOle subject ig relegated to the realm mythical, INeirO, spectral and unknown. Such adjourn -Men t, is imeScripturai and N7,1eked. Of their life, their charac- • ter, 1 heir babies, their actions, their velocities, the Bible. gives us full Ieugth portraits, Find why this pro- longed and absolute silence concern- ing them? Angelology is my theme. There are' two •euttions of angels, and they are hostile to eachother- the nation of good angels and the na- tion of bad angels. Of the former I ebietly 'speak. to -day. • Their capital..., t heir headquarters, their grand ren- dezvous, is heaven, but. their empire is the universe. They are a distinct - race of creaeures.No human being can ever join their eon fra ternity. The little -child who in the Sabbath echool sings, ”I want to be an an - will never have her with grati- fied. They 'are superhuman, but they are of different grades and ranks, not ell on the name level or the same height. They have their superiors end inferiors and equals. I propose no gul,ssing on this subject, but take he• Bible .for my -own authority. Plato, the philosopher, guessed and (Svidell angels in to sttpercelestial, ce- • lestial and subceles tial. Dionysius, the Areopagite, guessed and divided them into three classes, the supreme, the middle and the last, and each of these into three other classes, mak- ivg nine in all. Philo said that an- gels were related to God, as the rays () the sun. Felgentitts Said that they were composed of 'body and . 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 ettbject that I respect,. says they are divided into cherubim, seraphim, thrones, nominations, principalities, powers. Their commander-in-chief is Michael. Daniel called him Michael. St. John called him Michael. Thee supernsl beings are mbre 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 Ind mine than any being in the uni- - verse except God. May the Angel csi' he New Covenant, who is the Lord .feStis, open our eyes and touch our tinigue and rouse per soul; whjle We speak of their -deathlessness, their t 1 igen ce their numbers, • their s t rength, their achtaveinents. Yes, deathless. Tlihy had a cradle, )41 will never -have a grave. The falrd remembers when they wire iorn, but no one shall ever see their eye extinguished or their momentum low up or their existence terminate. Slie oldest of them has not a wrinkle ir a decrepitude on a hindrance, as after 6,000 years as at the lose of their first hour. Christ said o the good - in heaven, "Neither can hey die any' more, for they are equal etto the angels."' Yes,' deathless are hese wonderful creatures of whom I peak. They will see world after vorld go out, but there shall be no tiding of their own brilliance.

A further characteristic of these fairaortals is their velocity. This the Bible puts sometimes under the fig- ure of a flowing garment, sometimes under the figure of naked feet.
