Washlnoton, Oct. .29. The brilliant beings supposed Dy &me to bo.jmagi- nary are by Dr. Talmage in this sermon shown to be real and to bare much to do with our everyday life. The text la. Judged xiii. 1, ."And the angel did wondrously." !V Fire" built on a rock ilanoah and his wife had there kindled the flames for flacrifioe In praise of Ood and in honor of a guest whom they supposed to be a . mm dhn. But as the name rose nigner ana higher their stranprer guest stepped into the flame and by one red leap as cended into the skies. Then they knew that he was an angel of the Lofd. The angel did wondrously. " Two hundred and forty-eight times docs the Bible refer to the angels, yet I never heard or read a sermon on angel ology. The whole subject is relegated to the realm mythical, weird, spectral and unknown. Such adjournment is un-Scriptural and wicked. Of their life, their character, their habita, their ac tions, their velocities, the Bible gives us full length portraits, and why this prolonged and absolute silence concern ing themf Angelology is my theme, , Thero are two nations of angels, and they are hostile to each other the na tion of good angels and the nation of bad angels. Of tho former I chiefly speak today. Their capital, their head quarters, their grand rendezvous, is heaven, but their empire is the uni verse. They are a distinct race of crea tures. No human being can ever join their confraternity. The little child who in the Sabbath school sings, "I want to be an angel," will never have her wish gratified. , They are superhu man, but they are of different grades and ranks, not all on the same level or the same height. They have their su periors and inferiors and equals. I pro poso no guessing on this subject, but tako the Bible for my only authority. Plato, tho philosopher, guessed and di vided angels into supercelestial, celes tial and subcelestial Dionysius, the Arcopagite, guessed and divided thorn into three classes, tho supreme, the middle and tho last, and each of these into three other classes, making nine in all Philo said that the angels wero re lated to God. as tho rays to the sun. Fulgentius said that they were com posed of body and spirit Clement said they were Incorporeal. Augustine said that they had been in danger of falling, but now are beyond being tempted. But tho only authority on this subject that I respect says they are divided into cherubim, seraphim, thrones, domina tions, principalities, powers. Their com mander in chief is Michael. Daniel called him MichaeL' St John called him MichaeL These supernal beings are more thoroughly organized than any army that ever marched. They are swifter than any' cyclone that ever Kxcfmt tho sea. They aro more radiant than any morning that ever came down tho sky. They have more to ao wiin destinv and mine than any being in tho universe except God- May the Angel of the New Covenant who is the Lord Jesus. oren our eyes and touch our tongue and rouse cur soul while we speak of their deatniessness, tneir in telligence, their numbers, their strength, their achievements.

These wonders are. bo high, so deep, so grand, so 'stupendous, bo magnificent, that even the Intelligence of angelhood is confounded before it Thevapoetle says, "Which things the angels desire to look into." That is a subject that excites inquisitivenesa on their part That is a theme that strains their faculties' to the utmost That is higher- than they can climb, deeper than thev can dive. They have a desire for something too big for their compre hension. "Which things tne angels de sire to look into. " But that. 'does not discredit their intelligence. No one but God himself can fully understand the wonders of redemption. If all heaven should -study it for 50 eternities, they would get no further than the ABO of that inexhaustible subject But nearr lv all other' realms of "knowledge they have ransacked , and explored and com passed- No one but God can tell tnem anvthinsr they do not know. They have read to the last word of the last line of he last page of the last volume of in vestigation, and what delights me most is that all their Intelligence is to be at our disposal, and, coming Into their presence, they will tell us in five min utes more than we can learn by 100 yea3 of earthly surmising. Velocity of Immortal. A further characteristic of these im mortals is their velocity. This the Bible Dnts sometimes under the figure of wings, sometimes under the figure of a flowing garment sometimes under tne figure of naked feet As these super hu mans are without bodies, these expres sions are of course figurative and mean swif tnes3. The Bible tells us that Daniel was praying and Gabriel flew from heaven and touched him before he got nt from his knees. How far, then, did the Angel Gabriel have to fly in those moments of Daniel's prayer? Heaven is thought to "be the center of - the uni verse, our sun and its planets only the rim of the wheel of worlds. In a mo ment the Angel Gabriel flew from that center to this periphery. Jesua told Peter he could instantly have 60,000 angels present if he called for them. What foot of antelope or wing or al batross could equal that velocity? Law. of gravitation, which grips all things else, has no influence upon angelic mo mentum. Immensities before them open and shut like a fan. That they are here U no reason why they should not be a quintillion of miles hence tho next min ute. Our bodies binder us, dui our minds can circle the earth in a minute. Angelic beings are bodiless and have no limitation. God may. with his finger point down to some world in trouble on the outmost limits of creation, and in stantly an angelic cohort is there to help it, or some celestial may be stand ing at the farthermost outpost or im mensity, and God may say "Cornel and instantly it is In his bosom. Apra- ham. Elijah, Hagar, Joshua, uideon, Manoah, Paul, St John, could tell of their unhindered locomotion. T.ho red feet of summer lightning are slow com pared with their hegiras. This doubles up and compresses lnnniruaes mxo in finitesimals. This puts all the astro- nnmiml heavens Into a space like tne balls of a child's rattla This mingles. infs.nna fhft here and the there, the now and the then, the beyond and the yonder. Another remark I have to make con cerning these illustrious immortals is that they are multitudinous. Their cen sus has never been taken, and no one hnt find knows how many they are, but all the Bible accounts suggest their immense numbers companies or tnem, rotHmpnts of them, armies of them, monntflin tops haloed by them, skies Tia with tnem- John sneaks of angels and other beings round the ten thousand times ten thou- according - to my calcula tion, ten thousand times ten thousand are 100.000,000. But these are oniy tne nrU in one nlace. David counted 30, ooo of them rolling down the sky in rir, a When God came away from m& mfmJ w - - the riven rocks of Mount Sinai, the Bible says he had the companionship of 1 0. 000 angels.

Race. the human race in this world. They outnumber ransomed epirits in glory. When Abraham had his knife uplifted to slay Isaac, it was an angel who arrested tne strode, cry irfT a nrnhnm-Abraham! It was a o-TTa-c r,f nnceia that Jacob satv while pillowed in the wilderness. We are told an angel led tne nosis oi j.srueiii vu of Egyptian serfdom. It was an angel that showed Hagar the fountain where filial th bottle for the lad. It was an a Tl ro that took Lot out 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 angel tnat an nr,Ti.Ad y Mar the aoDroaching na- Uuuv tivity. They were angels that chanted rrict was born. It was an angel that strengthened our Saviour in his agony.

Yea. the Lord mall be revealed-from heaven with nh the numbers and the might and the glory of . these su- pernals fleets of them, squadrons of them, host beyond host rank above rank, millions on millions, and all, on our side if we will have them I . This leads me to sneak of the offices of these su pernals. To defend, to cheer, to rescue, to escort to give victory to the right and overthrow the wrong that ia their business iust 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 hitch ed to" chariots of fire and driven by reinsmen of fire. They have turned your steps a hundred times, and tou knew lt-not You were on the way to do some wronor thin?, and they changed your course.

It was an angel or ijoa, and perhaps the very one that guided you to this service and that now waits to report some holy impression to be made upon your soul, tarrying with one foot upon the doorstep of your im mortal spirit and the other foot lifted for ascent into the skies. By some prayer detain him until he can tell of a re pentant and ransomed soul! Or you were some time borne down with trou ble, bereavement persecution, bank ruptcy, sickness and all manner of trou bles beating their discords in your heart and life. You gave up. You said: "I cannot stand it any longer. I believe I will take my life. Where is the rail train or the deep wave or the precipice that will end this torment oi eartniy existence?'' But suddenly your mind brightened. Courage came surging into your heart like oceanic tides. You said, "God is on myeide, and all tnese ad versities he can make turn out for my good." Suddenly you felt a peace, a deep peace, the peace of God that pass eth all understanding. What made the change? A sweet and mighty and com forting angel of the Lord met you.

When tempted to a feeling of L loneliness and disheartenment, appro priate tho promise, "The angel or tne Lord encampeth around about them that fear him and delivereth them." Oh, I am so glad that the spaces be tween here and heaven are thronged with these supernaturals taking tidings home, bringing messages hero, rolling back obstacles from our path and giv ing us defenses, for terrific 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. 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! We want all their wings on our side, all their swords on our side, nil 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 jubi lant nq to the final triumph. Belgium, the battleground of England and France, Yea, ' Belgium more than once was the battleground of opposing nations. It so happens that this world is the Belgium or battle ground between the angelic nations, good and bad. Michael, the commander in chief on one sido; Lucifer, as Byron calls him, or Mephistopheles, as Goethe calls him, or satan, as the Bible calls him, the commander in chief on the other side. All pure angelhood under the one leadership and all abandoned angelhood under the other leadership Many a skirmish have tho two armies had, but the great and decisive battle is yet to be fought Either from our earthly homes or down from our su pernal 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 in array, and the forces celestial and demoniacal are con fronting each other. Hear the boom of the great cannonade already opened! Cherubim, seraphim, thrones, domina tions, principalities and powers are be ginning to ride down their foes, and, until the work is completed, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon I" Krugrer' TTnmor. Half a dozen back country Boers had come to Pretoria to see the wonders of the capital.
