TttXTi ' ."And lite angel did wondrously."
-Judges xiii., W. . ,
- Fire built on a rock. Manoah and his
wife had there kindled the tlames for sacri
iice in praise of God and in honor of a guest
whor tbey supposed to be a man. But as ,
ihft.i flame res higher and higher . their
stranger guest stopped into the flame and by
one red leap Ascended" into the skies. Then
I hoy knew that he was an Angel of he Lord.
'Tho angel did wondrously." i
, ; Two huudred and , forty-eight times does
the Bible refm towlhe angels, yet I never,;
heard or read a sermon on Angelology. The
whole subject is relegated to the realm
mythical, weird, spectral and unknown. '
Such adjonrnraent is nnscriptural and
wicked. , Or their hfe, their character, their
hat its, their actions their velocities, the
JWoie gives us tun length portraits, and why
i'us prolonged and absolute silence concern
Avbemf Angelologyismy theme. .
There are two nations of angels, and they
are hostile to each other; the nation of good
. nn?els and the nation of bad angels. Of the
lorruer I chiefly speak to-day. Their capital,
. . , their headquarters, their grand rendeavous,
is heaven, but their empire is the universe.
hey are a' distinct race of creatures. No
human being can ever join their confratr
. . ; nity. Th httlo ehUd who In the tJabbath
school Kings, "I went ta be an angel," will
. never liave her wish gratified. They art su-;
. . perhnmaui but they are of different trades
' . 'and ranks, not ali on the- same level, or the
. same height." They have their superiors and
' iuforiors and ertuals.t I propose no guessing
1 on this sub joct, bub take the Bible for my
only authority, Plato; the , philosopher,,
guessed, and divided angels into super-celes-tial,
colesfcial r.ndfiwb-celeslial. Dionysius, the
Areopagite, guessed, and divided them into
A three classes the upromd, the middle and
Jj the last and each of these into three other
v rhilo said that the angels were related to
a' Cod, as the rays to the sum " Fulgentius said
yt that they were composed of body and spirit.
f Clement said they were incorporeal. Au
gustine said that they had been in danger of
r falling, but how are beyond being tempted.
.But the only authority on this subject that
r j Tespect says they are divided into On ru
k bim, Seraphim, Thrones, Dominations, Priu
? cipalitiea, Powers. Their commander-in-chief
is Michael. - Daniel called him Michael
St. John called him Michuel. .These supernal
beings are more thoroughly organized than
any army that ever , marched. They, are
swifter than any cyclone that ever swept the
sea. Tbey are more radiant than any morn
r ing that ever came down the sky.- They have
more to do with your destiny and mine than
any being in the universe except God. May
. the Angel of the New Covenant, who is the
- Lord Jesus, open our eyes, and touch our
tongu-y and rouse our soul, while we speak of
i their deathlessii ess, their intelligence, their
numbers, their strength, their achievements.
:' will never have a grave. The Lord reniero-1
bers when they were born, but no one shall :t
. eves see men eye- extmguisneo, or meir raor
.. inentum slow up, or their existence . term
inate. The oldest of theui has not a wrinkle,
or a decrepitude, or a hindrance, as yoon
, fetter six thousand years, as at the cloue of
thejr first hour. Christ said of the good in
heaven, "Neither can they die any more, for
: .they are equal unto the angels." Yes, death
less are these wonderful creatures of whom I
" wpeak. They will ee world after world go
out, but there shall be no lading of their own
v 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 iu one sweep as easy as a
pigeon circles a 'dovecot,, s They are never
VSAjsick, They are never exhausted. 1 hey need

' iA further cbaracteristio of these radiant
' ' folk is intelligence. , The woman of Tokoah
, , ' was right whert she spoke to King David of
Mhe wisdom of an angel. We take in what
' ' httle we know through eye and ear and nos
tril and touch, but those beings have no
physical encasement and hence they are all

-. ing flake of mortar or crystal of sand. Knowl
' . edge I'll flashes on them. They take it in at
all points. They absorb it They gather it'
:- up without any hinderment. No , need of
', literature for them I The letters of their
liooks are stars. The dashes of their books
'I? are meteors. The words of their books are
, -onstellal ious. The paragraphs of their books
xlos. , The pictures of their books are
ifc y j ise,", and sunsets, and midnight auroras,
LWid the Conqueror on tha. white horse with
? the moon under His foet and seas of glass
minaled with tire. Their library is an open
universe. No need of tel&seope to see soine-'.-
thing millions of miles away, for instantly
they are there to inspect and explore it. ;;AI1
astronomies,' all geologies, all botanies, all
philosophies at their feet. What an oppor
tunity tor intelligence is theirs! What facili
ties for knowing everything and knowing it
right away. - . .-... . , -
Thoro is only one thing that puts them to
their wit's end, and 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 Ke
; demption. These wonders are so high, so
' det'p, so grand, so stupendous, so magnificent,
. that even the intelligence of angelhood is con-
ioiuuled before it. he apostle says; Which
things the angels desire to look into." That
is a subject that excites inquisitiveness on
their part That is a theme that strains their
faculties to their utmost. That is higher than
they can climb,' and deeper' than they can
; dive.. They have a desire for something too
big for their comprehension, "Which things
tho angels desire to look into.'", But that does
n it di-ksre.iit thofr intelligence. No one but
C'cid Himself can iully understand the won
drs of Bedemption,; It all heaven should
. study it for fifty eternities they would get no
further tnn the A B G of that iuoxhaustible
-'subject. . But nearly all. other realms of
kn'v.Flsdgi they have ransacked and explored
an 1 compassedi1 No one but God can tell
' thtui anything they do not know, Theyhava
read to the last word of the last line of th
Inst page of the last volume of investigation.
.-And what delights me most is that all their
JnteUi'ienne is to bo at our disposal, and, com
ing iu to their pres 'iioe, they . will toll us in
fivvj minutes more than we can learn by one
' hundred years of earthly surmising. -
A further characteristic of these im
i mortals is their velocity. This the Bible
puts .sometimes under the figure of wings,
ioineUnie8 under tlio h?ure of a flowing ear
nient,i Bometiiuos unJcsr the figure of nake:l
t fet. As thftie Kutxirimmaus are without
' bodies those expressions are of course figur
' ajive, and niewn swiftness. The Bible tells-
us that Daniel was praying-, and Gabriel flew
from heaven and touched him before he got
m from his Im-cs, How far, then, did"
tin Angol Uabnot have t'fly in thooe
moments of Dtiuiol's prayer!1 Heaven
is thought t.f) be tins center of the unt
vwbe. Uur buu and its planets only th9
rim of the wheel of worlds.' In a mo
ment the Angol Gabriel flew from that center
to tbti periphery, Jems told Peter He could
instantly have sixty thousand angels present
if K called for them. What foot of antelope
or wW of albatross could equal that veloo
ityf Law of gravitation, which grips all
'things else, has no influence upon angelic
momentum. Immensities before them open
and shut like a fan. .That they are here is no
reason why they should not be a quintillion
of miles hence the next minute. Our bodies
hinder cs, but our minds can circle the eartn
in a minute. Angelic beings are bodiless and
have no hnaitatioc. r God may with
His ' finger point down to some world
in trouble on tho outmost limits of
creation," and ir instantly an angelic
cohort are there to help it. Or some celestial
may be standing at the furthermost outpost
of immensity, and God may say "Come P
and Instantly it is in His bosom. Abraham,
Elijah, Hagar, Joshua, Uideon, Manoah,
Paul, St. John, could tellef their unhindered
locomotion. The red feet of summer light
ning are alow compared with their hegiras.
This doublos up and compresses infinitudes
into infinitesimals. This puts all the astro
nomical heavens into a space like the balls of
a child's rattle. ; This mingles into one the
Here and the There, the Now and the Then
the Beyond and the Yonder.'
. Another remark I have to make concern
ing these illustrious immortals is that they
are multitudinous. - Their census has never
been taken, and no one but God knows how
many they are, but all the Bible accounts
suggest thoir immense numbers. Companies
ot them, regiments of them, armies of them,
mountain tops haloed by them, skies popu
lous with them. John speaks of angels and
other beings round the throne as ten thousand
times ten thousand.-; Now, according to my
calculation, ten thousand times ten thousand
are one hundred million. Bnt these are only
the angels iu one place. David counted twen
ty thousand of them rolling down the sky in
chariote. -When God came awav from the
riven rocks of Mount Sinai, the Bible says He
had the companionship of ten thousand an
gels." I think they are in every battle, in
every exigency, at every birth, at every pil
low, at every hour, at every moment. The
earth full of them. The heavens full of them.
They outnumber the human race in this
world, . They outnumber ransomed spirits iu
glory. .When Abraham had his knife up
lifted to slay Isaac, it was an angel who ar
rested the stroke, crying: "Abraham I Abra
ham 1" , It was a stairway of angels that Ja
cob saw while pillowed in the wilderness..
We are told an angel led the hosts of Israel
ites out of Egyptian serfdom. It was an an
gel that showdd Hagar the fountain where
she filled the bottle for the lad. It was an
angel that took Lot oat of doomed Sodom.
It was an angel that shut up the mouth of
the hungry monsters when Daniel was thrown
into the caverns. It was an angel that fed
Elijah under the juniper tree. . It was an an
gel 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 angel that encouraged Paul in the Med
iterranean shipwreck. -It was an angel that
burst open the prison, gate after gato, until
Peter was liberated. It was an angel that
stirro t the Pool of Siloam where the sick
wore healed. It was an angel that John saw
flying through the midst of heaven, and an
anzel 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 angel that poured
out the vials, and an angel standing in the
sun. It will be an angel with uplifted hand,
swearing that time shall be no longer. In
the great final harvest of the world, the
reapers are the : angels. Yea, tho
Lord shall be revealed from heaven
with-; mighty angels. Oh, .the numbers
and the . might and the glory of these
'supernals 1 Fleetis of them 1 Squadrons of
them t Host beyond 4 host I Bank above
rank I Millions on millions! And all on our
aido if we will have thorn.
This leads me to speak of the offices of
these supernals. To defend, to cheer, to res
cue. to escort, to give victory to the right,
and overthrow the wrongf that is their busi
usj. Just as alert to-dtiy and efficient as
whan in Biblo, times : they, spread wing, or
unsheathed sword, or rocked down peniten
tiaries or filled the mountain! with horses ot
tire hitched to chariots of tire and driven by
reins-nen of fire. They, have turned your
steps a hundred times, an i you knew it not
You were on the way to do some wrong
thing, and they changed your course. They
bought some thought of Christian parent
nge, or of loyalty to your own home, and
tliab arrested you. They arranged that some
one should meet you at that crisis, and pro
pose something honorable and elevating, or
they took from your pocket some ticket to
evil amusement, a ; ticket that you never
found. It was an angel of God, and perhaps
the very one that guided you to this service,
and that now - waits to report some holy
impression to bo this 1-., morning made
upon your soul, r tarrying with one. foot
upon the doorstep of your immortal spirit,
and the other foot lifted for ascent into the
skies, t. By some prayer detain him until he
can tell of a repentant and ransomed souU
Or you were some tame borne down with
trouble,' bereavement, persecution, - bank
ruptcy, sickness and all manner of troubles
beating their discords in your heart and life.
You gave op; yon said: "I cannot stand it
any longer, I believe I will take ray life.
Where is the rail train, or the deep wave, oi
the precipica that will end this torment of
eart'ily existence?" But suddenly your mind
brightened. Courage came surging into
four heart like oceanic tides. You said:
"Ood is on my side, and all these adversities
He can make tarn out for my good." - Sud
denly you felt a peace, a deap peace, th
peace of God that paaseth all understanding.
What made the change? A sweet, and
mighty, and comforting angel of the Lord
met you. That was alU
: What an incentive to purity and righteous
ness is this doctrine tbnt we are continually
under angelic observation! Eyes ever on
you, so that the moat secret misdeed is com
mitted in the midst of an audience of im
mortals. No doors so bolted, no darkness so
Cimmerian as to hinder that supernal eye
sight. Not ".critical eyesight, not jealoun
eyesight, not baleful eyesight, but friendly
eyesight, sympathetic eyesight, helpful eye
sight. Confidential clerk of store, with great
responsibility on your shoulder, and no on
to applaud your work when you do it well,
and sick with the world's ingratitude, think
of the angels in the counting-room raptured
at your fidelity! Mother of household, stitch
ing, mendiug, cooking, dusting, planning, nj
half the nio:ht or all night with the sick child,
day in and day out, year in and year out,
worn with the monotony of a life that no one
seems to care for, think of the angels in the
nursery, angels in all the rooms of your toil
ing, angels about the sick cradle and all in
sympathy t '
. Railroad engineer, with hundreds of lives
hanging on your wrist, standing amid the
cinders and the smutch, round the sharp
curve and by appalling declivity, discharged
and dif graced if you make a mistuke, but not
one word of approval if you take all the
trains in safety for ton : year, think of the
angels by the throttle valve, angels by the
roaring furn3e of the engine, angels looking
from the overhanging crag, angels bracing
the racing wheel off the precipice, angels
when you mount thfj thunderbolt of a train
and angels when yon divnoimt! Ca,o. you

of engineers it is because I ride so much
with them. ' I always accept their invitation
to join them on their locomotive, because I
not only get to my destination sooner, but
because they are about the grandest men
alive. :
Men and women of all circumstances, only
partly appreciated, or not appreciated at all,
never feel lonely again, or unregarded again 1
Angels all around; angels to approve, angels
to help, angels to remember. Yea, while all
the good angels are friends of the good, thers
is one special agent your body guard. Thii
. idea, until this present study of angelology, I
supuosed to be fanciful, but I find it clearly
stated in the Bible. When the disciples were
praying for Peter's deliverance from prison,
and he appeared at the door of the prayer
meeting, they could not believe it was Peter.
They said: 'rIt is his angel.". So these dis
ciples, in special nearness to Christ, evidently
believed that every worthy soul has an angeL
Jesus said of His followers; "Their angels De
hold the face of My Father." Elsewhere it
is said. "He shall give His angels charge over
thoe, to keep thee in all thy ways." Angel
ihielded, angel protected, angel guarded,
tngel canopied, art thou. No wonder that
Charles Wesley hymned these words:
Which of th petty Kings of eanh
. Can bodt Rnard like onrff. - - 'r'
Enoiroled from oar second birth
; With all the heavenly powers?
Valerius and Rnftnus were put to death for
Christ's sake in the year 287, and, after the
day when their bodies had been whipped and
pounded into a jelly, in the night in prison,
and before the next day when they were to
be executed, they both t thought they saw
angels standing with two guttering crowns
saying: "Be of good cheer, valiant soldiers
of Jesus Christ! a little more of battle and
then these crowns are yours." And I am
glad to know that before many of those who
Have passed through great sufferings in this
life, some angel of God has held, a blazing
coronet of eternal reward.
Yea; we are to have such a guardian angel
to take us upward when our work is done.
You 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. It would boa long way
to go alone, and up paths we have never
(rod, and amid blazing worlds swinging in
unimaginable momentum.out and on through
such distances and across such infinitudes of
ipace, we should shudder at the. thought of
going alone. But, the angelic escort will
come to your languishing pillow, or the place
of your fatal accident, and says: "Hail, im
mortal one I v All is well: God hath sent me
to take you home;" and without tremor or
lightest Benseof peril you will away and
upward, further on and further on, until
after awhile heaven heaves in sight, and the
rumble of chariot wheels, and the roll of
mighty harmonies are heard in the dis
tance, and nearer you come,; and nearer
still, until the brightness is like many morn
ings suffused into one, and the gates lift and
you are inside the amethystine walls, and on
the banks of the jasper sea, forever safe, for
ever free, forever well, forever rested, for
ever united, forever happy. Mothers, don't
think your Httle children go alone when they
quit this world. Out of your arms into an
gelic 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 yoursolf now in accord with him. When
he suggest the right, follow it. When he
warns you against the wrong, shun it. Sent
forth from God to help you in this great bat
tle against sin and death, accept his deliver
ance. When tempted to a feeling of loneli
ness and disheartenment appreciate the
promise: "The angel of the Lord encampetb
around about them that fear Him and deliv
ered them." Oh, I am so glad that the
spaces between here and heaven are thronged
with these supernatural taking tidings home,
bringing messages here, rolling back obstaclei
from our path and giving us defense, for ter
rific are the forces who dispute our way, and
if the nation of the good angels' is on our side,
the nation of bad angels is on the other side.
Paul had it right when he said: ; "We wrestU
not against flesh and blood, but against Prin
cipalities, against Powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spirit
ual wickedness in high places." In that
awful fight may God send us mighty angelic
re-onforcomentl' We want all their wingi
on our side, all their swords on our side, all
their chariots on our side,
: Thank God that those who areforusar
mightier than those who are against us! And
that thought makes me jubilant as to the
final triumph. Belgium, you know, was the
battle ground of England and France. Yea,
Belgium more than once .was the battle
ground of opposing nations. It so happens
that this world is the Belgium or battle
ground between the angelic nations, good and
bad. t Michael, the commander-in-chief on
one side; Lucifer, as Byron calls him, or
Mephistopheles, as Goethe calls bim, or
Satan, as the Bible calls him, the commander-in-chief
on the other side. All pure angel
hood under the one leadership, and all aban
doned angelhood under the other leadership.
Many a skirmish have the two armies had,
but the great and decisive battle is yet to be
fought. Either from our earthly homes or
down from our supernal residences, may we
come in on the right side; for on that side are
God and heaven and victory. Meanwhile the
battle is being set iu array, and tho forces
celestial and demoniacal are confronting
each other. Hear the boom of the great
cannonade already - opened! Cherubim,
Seraphim, Thrones, : Dominations, Princi
palities and Powers are beginning to ride
down their foes, and until the work is com
pleted, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gideon,
and thou, Mood, in the valley of Ajalonr .
