Jiwus tolil lJ«ter lie could instjintly Imve bixty thousand ungeLs pn-scnt if ho called for tliem. W'lmt foot of autuloixi or wing of albatross could wiual that voloeity! LIW Of gravitation, which grins all things else, hiis no influence uiion angelic momentum, Immensities before them open ami shut like a fun. That they lire hero is no reason why they bhould not ho a quintillion of miles lienco the next mumto. Our IKKIICS hinder us, but our imiiils can circle tho earth in a minute. Angelic beings are bodiless anil have no limitation, (rod may with his linger point down to some world in trouble on the outmost limits of cruuikm, and instantly an angelic cohort aro there to help it. Or somo celestial may be standing at tho furthermost outpost of immensity, uud God may say "Come!" and instantly it is in his Ixwjm. Abraham, fcJijuh, llagur, Joshua, Gideon, Mauoah, Paul, .St. John, could tell of their unhindered locomotion. The rod feet of .summer lightning uro slow compared with their hegiras. Thi'i doubles up and compresses inilnitudos iuto iniliiitesimals. This puts all tho astronoinicnl lieuvens into a space liko tho balls of a child's rattle. This mingles into 0110 tho Ilero and the There, tho Now and tho Thon, tho Beyond and the Yonder.
Another remark I have to make concerning these illustrious immortals is that thoy aro multitudinous., Thoir census lias uever been taken, and no one but God knows how many they aro, but all tho Bible accounts suggest their immense numbers. Companies of them, regiments of them, armies of them, mountain tops huiocd by them, slaes populous with them. John fcjKiaks of angols uud other I icings round the throne as ten thousund times ten thousand. Now, according to my calculation, ten thousand times ten thousand uro one hundred million. But these are only tho angels in one place. Duvul counted twenty thousand of them rolling down tho sky chariots. When God came away from tho riven rocks of Mount Sinai, the Bible says he had tho companionship of ten thousand angels. I think they aro in every battle, in every exigency, at every birth, at overy pillow, at every hour, at every moment. Tho earth full of them. The heavens full of them. They outnumber the human race in this world. They outnumber ransomed spirits in glory. When Abraham hud his knife uplistod to slay Isaac, it was an angel who urrested the stroke, crying, "Abraham I Abraham!'' It was a stairway of angels that Jacob saw while pillowed ill tho wilderness. Wo are told an angel led tho hosts of Israelites out of Egyptian serfdom. It was an nngel that showed Hagar tho fountain whore she filled the bottle for the lad. It was an angel that took Ixt out of doomixl Sodom. It was an angel that sbi.t up the mouth of tho hungry monsters when Daniel was thrown into the caverns. It wus an angel thut fed Elijah under the juniper tree. It was un angel that announced to Mary the approaching nativity. They were augols that chantod when Christ WJIS boru. It was an angol that strengthened our Saviour in his agony. It was an angel that encouraged Paul tho Mediterranean shipwreck. It wits an angel that burst open tho prison, gato after gate, until Peter was liberated. It was au angel that stirred the Pool of Siloam where tho sick were honied. It wus an angel that John saw flying through the midst of heaven, and an angel with foot planted on tho sea, and an angel that opened tho book, an'l an angel that sounded the trumpet, and uu angel that thrust in tho sickle, and au augcl that ]oured out tho vials, ami an angel standing iu the sun. It will lie an angel with uplifted hand, swearing thut Time shall bo no longer. Iu tho great final harvest of the world, tho reapers are the angels. Yea, the Lord shall 1x3 revealed from heavou with mighty ungels. Oh, the numbers and tho might and tho glory of those supernals! Fleets of them! Squadrons of them! Host beyond host! Kauk above rank! Millions on millions! And all ou our side if wo will have them.
T1IEY ARK UIS1STERIXQ SPIRITS. This loads mo to speak of the oillces of these supernuls. To defend, to cheer, to roscue, to escort, to give victory to tho right, and overthrow the wrong that i» their business. Just as alert today and efficient as when in Bible times thoy spread wing, or unsheathed sword, or rocked down penitentiaries, or tilled tho mountains with horses of Are hitched to chariots of fire and driven by reinsmeu of fire. Thoy havo turned your steps a hundred times, and you know it not. You wore 011 tho way to do somo wrong thing, and thoy changed your course. They brought somo thought of Christian parentage, or of loyalty to your own homo, and that arrested you. Thoy arrauged that some oue should meet you at that crisis, aud propose 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 sorvice, and that now waits to report somo holy impression to bo this morning made upon your soul, tarrying with one foot upon the doorstop of your immortal spirit, and the other foot lifted for uscent into the skies. By somo prtiver detain him until he can tell of a repentant and ransomed soul! Or you wero some timo borne down with trouble, bereavement, persecution, bankruptcy, sickness, and all manner of troubles beating their dLwords in your heart aud life. You gave up you said: "I cannot staud it any longer. I believe I will take my lifo. Where is the rail train, or tho deop wavo, or the precipico that will end this torment of earthly existcncef' But suddenly your mind brightened. Courage came surging into your heart liko oceanic tides. You said: "God ls ou my side, and all these adversities be can make turn out for my good." Suddenly you felt a peaco, a deep peace, tho peace.of God that passeth all understanding.
What mode tho change? A sweot, aud mighty, aud comforting angel of tho Lord met you. That was all.
What an incentive to purity and righteousness ls this doctrine that we are continually under angelic observation! Eyes over 011 you, so that tho most secret misdeod is committed in tho midst of an audience of immortals. No door so bolted, no darkness so Cimmerian as to hinder that supernal eyesight. Not critical nyesight, not jealous eyesight, not baleful eyesight, but friendly eyesight, sympathetic eyesight, helpful eyesight. Confidential clerk of store, with great responsibility ou your shoulder, and no one to applaud your work when you do it well, and si?k with tho world's ingratitude, think of the angels in tho counting room rap»t your fidelity I Mother of houM-
liold, stitching, mewling, cooking, dusting, planning, up half tho night or all night with tho sick child, day in and day out, year in and yenr out, worn with tho monotony of a life that no one seems to care for, think of tho angels in tho nursery, angels in all tho rooms of your toiling, angels about the sick cradle, nnd nil in sympathy!
FEAI-. .NOT!
ANOr.I.S OUAnil YOU.
Railroad engineer, with hundreds of lives hanging on your wrist, standing amid the cinders and tho smutch, rouud the sharp curvo and by appalling declivity, discharged and disgraced if you make a mistuke, but not ono word of approval if you take all the trains in safety for ten yeurs, tinnk of the angels by tho throttle valve, rtugels by tho roaring furnace of tho engine, ungels looking from the overhanging crag, angels bracing tho rucing wheels off the precipice, ungels when you mount tho thunderbolt of 11 train and angels when you dismount! C1111 you not hear them, louder than the junnning of the cur coupling, louder than the bell at the crossing, louder thun tho whistle that sounds liko tho scrcnm of a (lying fiend, tho ungclic voices saying, "You did it well. You did it well!" If I often £]x-uk of engineers It is U-causo I ride so much with them. I always accept their invitatlou to join them on tneir locomotive, localise I not only get to my destination sprier, but becau.su they aro about the grandest nun alive.
Men and women of all circumstances, only partly appreciated, or not appreciated at all, never feel lonely again, or unregarded again! Angels all around angels to upprove, angels to help, angels to remember. Yea, while ail tho good angels are friends of the good, there is ono special angel your l»ody guard. This idea, until this present study of angelology. I supposed Ut bo fanciful, but I find it clearly stated in the Iiible. When the disciples were praying for Peter's deliverance from prison, and ho appeared at tho door of the prayjr meeting, they could not tieheve it was Peter. Thoy said: "It is his angel." So these disciples, iu special nearness to Christ, evidently believed thatovery worthy soul has an angel Jesus said of his followers:
uThoir
angels bo*
hold tho faco of my Father." Elsewhere it is said: "Ho shall give his angels charge over theo, to keep thee in all thy ways." Angel shielded, angel protected, angel guarded, angel canopied, art thou. No winder that Charles Wesley hymned these words
Which of tho petty kings of earth Can boast a gwml liko ours, Encircled from our secoud birth
With all the heavenly powers
Valerius and Kufiiuis were put t» death for (Jbri&t'H hake in the year 2^7, and, after the day when their bodies had been whipped, and pounded into a jelly, in the ulgfi» in prison, and beforo tho next day when thoy were to bo executed, they both thought they sawangels standing with two glittering crowns saying, "Be of good cheer, valiant soldiers of Jesus Christ! a littio more of battle and then these crowns are yours." And I am glad to know that before man}' of those who have passed through great sufferings in this lifo, some angel of God has held a blazing coronet of eternal reward.
THE IEAI SHALL RISE WITII TIIEM. Yea we aro to have such a guardian angel to take us upward when our work is doue. You know wo are told an angel conducted Lazaru* to Abraham's bosom. That shows that none shall bo so jnior in dying he cannot afford a\gelic escort. It would be a long way to go a.one, and up paths wo havo never trod, and amid blazing worlds swinging iu unimaginable momentum, out and on through such distances and across such infinitudes of space, wo should shudder at the thought of going alone. Rut the angelic escort will como to your languishing pillow, or tho place of your fatal accident, and say:
4iHaii,
im
mortal one! All is well God hath sent me to take you home aud without tremor or slightest sense of peril you will away and upwind, further on and further 011, until after awhile heaven heaves in sight, and tho rumble of chariot wheels, and tho roll of mighty harmonies are heard in the distance, and nearer you come, ai nearer still, until the brightness is like many mornings sufTused luto oue, and the gates lift and you aro insico tho amethystine walls* and ou tho 1 winks of the jasper sea, forever safe, forever free, forever well, forever rested, forever united, forever happy. Mothers, don't 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 tho darlings be alone between the two kisses, the last kiss of earth aud the first kiss of heaven. "Now, angels, do your work I" cried an expiring Christiau.
Yes, a guardian angel for each ono of you. Put yourself now in accord with him. When bo suggests tho right, follow it. Wheu he warns you against tho wroug, shun it. Bent forth from God to help you in this great batr tie ogaiust siu and death, accept bis deliverance. When tempted to a feeling of loneliness and disheartenment appropriate the promise: "The angel of the Lord encumpeth around about them that fear him and dullvereth them." Oh, I am so glad that the spaces between here aud heaven are thronged with these supernatural* taking tidings home, bringing massages here, rolling back obstacles from our path and giving us defense, for terrific are tho forces who dispute our way. and if the nation of the good angels is ou our side, tho nation of bad angels is ou tho other side. Paul had It right when he said: "We wrestle not against flush and blood, but against Principalities, against Powers,against tho rulers of the darkuoss of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Iu 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, all their chariots on our side.
TUI8 WORLD TI1EIR IJATTLE GROUND. Thank God that those who aro for us are mightier than those who aro against us! Aud that thought makes me jubilant &s tothofiual triumph. Belgium, you know, was tho battle ground of Englaud aud France. Yea, Belgium more than ouce was the battle ground of opposing nations. It so hapfnnih that this world Ls tho Belgium or battle ground between tho angelic nations, good aud bad. Michael, tho commander-in-chief 011 one side Lucifer, as Byron calls him, or Mephistophelean as Goethe calls him, or Satan, as the Bible calls him, tho commniider-iu-chief on the other side. All puro angelhood under the ono leadership, and all abmidoued angelhood under the other leadership.
Many a skirmish have the two armies had, but tho great and decisive battle is yet to bo fought. Either from our earthly homes or down from our su|ernal residences, may we come iu 011 tho right side for 011 that side are God aud heaven and victory. Meanwhile the battle is toiug set in array, ami the forces celestial and demoniacal aro confronting each other. Hoar the boom of the great cannonade already opened! Cherubim, Seraphim, Thrones, Dominations, Principalities and Powers aro beginning to ride down their foes, and until tho work is completed, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, Moon, In tho valley of Ajalnnl"

THE PRODUCTION OF COLORS.
Oxide of uranium mixed with oxide of load produces straw color. Carmine color, when used for tender porcelain, is prepared witii fulminating gold nd muriate of silver.
By the mixture of red and black oxido of iron in different proportions vurious shades of reddish brown uro obtained.
A very ]ermanent red color is produced by calcining the oxide of iron with double its own weight of commercial salt.
Purple and violet colors are produced by dissolving gold iu aqua regia (uitro muriatic acid) uud immersing a bar of pure till in tho solution.
Oxide of manganese is used for black color. The best black, however, is obtained by the combination of mangaueso, brown oxide of copper and oxido of cobalt. lied oxido of irou, prejuired by the united actiou of fire and nitric acid, yields a red color which, although beautiful, is less brilliant than that produced from gold.
For the production of blue, well prepared oxide of cobalt is used, mixed with flux. Oxides of tin and zinc, added iu different proportions, give different shades, from a deep red to a light blue.
Green oxide of copper is generally employed for the production of green colors. Oxide of chromium is also a beautiful green eoler, which is, however, destructible under the heat of a porcelain oven.
Shades of red, deepening from rose color, and passing from the increasing application of heat to brown, are obtained from iron. The flux employed with this oxide is composed of borax, sand and a small portion of red lead. The coloring may be used either with or without previous fusion with the flux.
To obtain yellow colors, white oxide of antimony, mixed with saud aud oxido of lead, are employed, tho latter substance serving as a flux to the others. Oxido of tin is sometimes added when the color is required to be livelier. Tho colors are not susceptible of change, but if exposed to the full heat of a porcelain furnace would be entirely destroyed.
