Tht-r" are i.o nat;n of angels, anil they ;ire btii to each other; the nation of good augls and the nation of bail angels. Of the former I chiefly speak today. Their capital, their Lridqu; iters, their grand rendezvous, is hawn. i.ni their empire is the un.'v-rse. They are a distinct race of creature-. X human being (tin ever join their confraternity. The little child wlui in the Sabbath school ting.-, I want to be an angel," will never have her wish gratified. They are uiperhumnii. but they are of different grades and ri.nks, not all on the same level. o the same height. They have their superior and inferiors and equals. 1 propose no giie-Mrig on this subject, but take the Hilde for my only authority. l'lato. the philosopher, Ku-ssed ar.d divide-", ar.gfds into stiperelestial. celestial an! sub-celestial. IMonvsiu.-. the Aie.r:sgite, guessed Hid divided ;hi ;ü in tt, three classes the supreme, th r.-.bidV and the last and each of ti:(s- ii three other classes, making niiv in all. Philo said that the angels were i dated to Cod, as the ray.- to the sun. Fulgentics sr. id that ;hy were om posed of body and spirit. Oem.-nt said they wer1 incorporeal. Augustine said that they had been in danger of falling, but now are i.eord being tempted. But the- only authority oa this subject, that I jvspei-t, says tbey are divided into Cherubim. Seraphim, Thron-s. Dominations. Principalities, Powers. Their commander-in-chief is Michael. Daniel called him Michael, St. John called him Michael. These suj-erna! Icings, tire rnon thoroughly organized than any army that ever march:,!. They are swifter than any cyclone that cer Fve;t the sea. They are more radiant than any morning that ever came down the sky. They hae mors to do with your destiny and mine than any being in the universe fxrept Cod. May the Angel of th? Xew Covenant, who in the Lord Jesus, en ei;r eyes, and touch our tongue, and n:use our sots!, while we speak at their deatalcssness. their intelligence, their numbers, their strength, their acbic veir.cnt.-.

Yea. after ih" last wo? hi has taken its las; üichr. they will i.e re.nl- for the widest circuit through immonsity, taking a padriUion c:f miles in on . sweep us easy as a pigeon iicles a dovecot. A further rhar.'( teristic of these ra'.iant folk is intelligence. The woman i f Tekoah was rib: when she spoke o King David o; the wisdom of an .inge. Ye mortals take in what little we kiiov throu'.'h . ye and ear and r.osril and touch; but thu-e .eins have tifi physical em-asc rne-ni and lience they are all senses,.

The words of thei,- "nooks are constellations. The p.uagraphs of their books are galaxies. The p: tures of their '.ooks are suni i.-j .-. and sunsets, anil u:i lnight auroras, and the Conqueror n the white iior?.e with the mion tinier his feet. Their library is an open nni verse. No ncd of telescope to see -omething millions of miles away, for :nsfa:.f!y they are there to inspect and it. All astronomies, all geolo41 s, all bot;ini'S. all philosophies at 'heir feet. 'What, an opportunity for Intelligence is th'-i'-s! What facilities f')r knowing everything and knowing if rU'ht away ! Th if is only one tiling that puts them to their wit's end. and the Hilde says l hey have to study that. They have 1 en studying it all through tne .'.,, ;.: 1 yef I v.ariant tbey have not fully ?-:sped it the wonders of Kemrtii i. Til ose wanders ate so high, so deep. o grand, s: stupendous, so inaiiiTtc nt that even the Intelligence of ü rf-Ibi od is confounded before it. The r.pos;le says. "Which things: the rngeN desiie to look into." That is a subject that excites inquisiti veness on their part. That is a theme that strains their faculties to the utmost. That io higher than they can climb, ib f prr than they , an dive. They have a de:dre for something too big for their comnrf her.sion. "Which things the angels desire to loik Into." Hut that 'oes nt discredit their intelligence. No one but (Jod himself can fully understand th wonders of Redemption. If all heaven should study it for fifty ternitiea they would get no further than the A II C of that inexhaustible abject, llut nearly all other realms

of knowledge they have ransacked and explored ami ctnras' d. No one but God can tell thein an;hin- they do not know. They have r"id the lust word of the last line of the las: page r.f tli" list volume of investigation. And what delights me most is that all th'dr intelligence L- to be at our dispos.il. r.nd. cuniir.g into their presence,' tbey will tell us in five minutes more than vc can lean: by one hundred

Companies of ' them, regiments of them, armies of i then:, inouutain-tc.ps haloed by them, j skies populous with t'nem. John j speaks of angels and oilier beings ton rid ibe throne as ten thousand times ten thousand. Now. according to my cab -illation, ten thousand times ten thoa-and are one hundred million. But tt:te are only the angeU in one place. David (ouuted twenty thousand, of thm rolling down the sky in chariots. When Cod came away irom the riven rocks of Mount ?inai. the Rible says he had the companionship of ten thousand angels. I think they are In every battle, in every exigency, at every birth, at every pillow, at every hour. at every moment. The earth full of them. The heavens full of them. They outnumber the human race In this world. Th y outnumber ransomed spirits in glory. When Abraham had his knife uplifted to slay Isaac, it was an angel who arrested the stroke, cryin??. "Abraham: Abraham: " It was a stairway of angels that Jacob saw while pillowed in the wilderness. We are told an angel led the hosts of Israelites out of Kgvptian serfdom. It was an angel that showed Hagar the fountain where she tilled tb" bottle for the lad. It was au angel 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 ang! that fed Klijah under the juniper tree. It was au angel that announced to Mary the approaching nativity. They were angels that chanted when Christ was born. It was an angel that strengthened our Savior in his agony. It wa-, an angel that encouraged Paul in the Mediterranean shipwreck. It was ai angel that burst open the prison, gate after gate, until Peter was liberated. It was au angel that stirred the Pool of Siloam wh'ue the sick were lieab d. It vr.ts an angel that John saw fling through the midst of heaven, and an ungel with foot planted on the sea. and an ang! that opened the book, and an augel that thrust in the sickle, and an anije! that poured out the vials, and an angel standing In the sun. It will be an angel with uplifted hand, s a earing that Time shall b no longer. In the great final harvest of the world, the reapers are the angels. Yea. the lord shall be revealed from heaven with mighty angels. Oh. the numbers and the might and the glory of ttese supernalsl Fleets of them! Squadrons of them! Ho-t beyond host! Rank above rank! Millions on millions: And all on our fide if we will have them. Men and women of all circumstances. only partly appreciated, or not apprej elated at all. never feel lonely again j or unregarded again! Angels all j around; ansebs to approve, angebs to ! help, nngfls to remnmb'.r. Vca. while I r. 11 the Rood angel aie frb-nds of the j Rood, there is one special angd your ! bodv-guard. This idea, until this pres ent study ef ansieioloey, I supposed to be fanciful, bat I lind it clearly stated ir. the Hüde. When the disciples were praying for Peters deliverance from prison, and be appeared at the door of i lue prayer meeiiui;. conm not aelieve it was Peter. They said, "It is his angel.' So t'ne-e disciples, in special nearness m Christ, evidently believed tba; c-rv v.o'tuy sml has an tinge!. Jesus said of Iiis followers: "Their ari-ed- hall behold the face of my Fatber." Mls -w ri. re i; is said: "He .-h ill give his angels charge over thee, to Ue-ep thee in all thy was." Angel-shielded, a r.gel-protected, angeipuarded, anciel-canopied. art thou! No wonder that Charles Wesley hymned th'se words: "Which of the p Ity king- of earth Can boast a guard like ours. Encircled from our s.vond birth With all th. heavenly powers?" Valerius and Jiufmus were put to death for Chri-t'.s sake- in the year l'S7. and af.er the day when thur bodies had been wiiipped and pounded into a jelly, ia the night in prison, and b--I'.ire the next day when they were to be executed, tbey both thought, they ' saw anseis standing with two glittering c: oauis. saying. "He of good cb-er. valiant soldi, rs or .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 p.-s'd through great sufferings in this life muh angel of Cod has held a blazin 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'.bosom. Th'Al shows that none shall b- so poor In dying lie cannot afford angelic es-ort. It would be a long way to go alone, and up paths we have never trod, and amid hl.t7.ing worlds swinging in un imaginable momentum, out and on through such distanceand across such infinitudes of space. we should shudder at the thought of gohsü: alone. Hut the angelic escort will come to your languishing pillow or the place of your fatal accident, and say: "Hail, immortal one! All is well; (Jod hath sent iiie to take you home." And. without, tremor or sügiite.-t seii-e of peril, you will a way and upward, further on and further on. until after a whilheaven heaves in si'nt. and the run. tie of chariot wheels :ir,.i the roll eif mighty harmonics are heard in the distance, and nearer you come, and nearer still, until the brightness is !ik. many mornings suffused into on", an 1 the gates lift, and ou are inside the amethystine walls and on the banks of the jasper sea. forever safe, forever free, forever well, forever rested, for ever united, forever happy. Mothers. t do not 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 boom. Not an 1

Instant will the daritrgs be alon 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 yourself now in accord with him. When he suggests the runt, follow it: when he warns against iha wrong, shun it. Sent forth from God to help you in this great battle against sin and death, accept his deliverance. Wheu tempted to a feeling of loneliness and dishc irtennient, appropriate the promise. "The angel of the Lord cncatitpctli around about them that fear him and delivereth them." Oh. I am so glad that the spaces between here and heaven are thronged wich these supernaturals. taking tidings home, bringing messages here, rolling back obstacles from our path and giving us defense; for terrific are the forces who dispute our way, and if the nation of the good angels is on our side, the nation of the bad angels is on the ether. Paul had it right when he said. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, again-t powers, against the rulers ot 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, all their chariots on our side. Thank God that those who are for v.? ere mightier than those who are against us! And that thought makes me jubilant as to the final triumph. Helgium. you know, was the battleground of England and France. Yea. Helgium more than once was the battle-ground of oppo.-ing nations. It so happens that this world is the Helgium or battle-ground between the angelic nations, good and had. ichael, the commander-in-chief on one side; Lucifer, as Ryron calls him, or Mephdstopheles. as Goethe calls him, or Satan, as the llible calls him, the commander-in-chief on the other side. All pute angelhood under the one leadership, and all abandoned angelhood uudcr the other leadership. Many a skirmish have the two armies hail, but the great and decisive battle is yet to be fought. Either from our earthlyhomes or down from our supern l residences, may wo com in on the right side; for on that side are (Jod and heaven and victory. Meanwhile the battle is being set ia array, and the lorces, celestial and demoniacal, are confronting each other. Hear the boom of the great cannonade already opened; Cherubim, seraphim, thrums, dominations, piincipalities and powers are beginning to ride down their foes, and ualil the work i- completed, "Sun. stand thou stid upon (Jibeoti, and thou, moe-n. in the valley of Aj-ilon!"

SALTING BABIES. f uMihii Which SniiK'lllilfi I ImImI Iii tli In taut "Salting" newly born infants, a practice that dates far back to P.iblical times, still obtain.- in many parts of the old world, says the St. Louis PostDispatch. The Armenians in the Russian government of Lriwan cover the whole surface of the babe's body with fine salt, especial care being taken with the intersti.es between the ti tigers and all depressions, such as the armpit and the bend of the knee, so that no point shall remain unsaited. The unhappy infant is left in the salt for three hours or iongT and is then bathed in warnt water. The- Armenians of some districts, having ahamhnie,! the piactjre are called "uns ilted." and are despised by the others. The modern Creeks also sprinkle their babes with salt. If an enlightened mother protets. the midwife is ready with tiic ohjeetion: "iltit if it isn't salted it will be puny ami never will amount to anything." If this stilting process is tarried to excess, the poor babes don't s.tand it at all. The skin becomes as red as lire, the irritation is intolerable, and the child dies in con vul.-ions. Yet there I? a mountain tribe in Asia Minor that mer.dle.ssly salts its new-born bane.? for twenty-four hour.?, which shows that tiie limits of human endurance are wide in some ca.-es. This ancient custom is still in vogue in many parts of Germany, but ih- rites are merely symbolical. In on-- di.-drud a little salt is rubbed behind the chill's ears, in other's a pdndi ee salt is put oa the tongue or a Utile paper of salt is inserted und r the garment, it gives understanding, the people say, and wards "off evil spirits. The action of Äalt in keeping meat sound, no doubt, is the reason that t bis .-t reiigt heninic and su--tainina power was ascribed to it. EARTH-EATERS. . ieor-U Nettr Woman llUencntl Who l-litl I..T i Iny ?uvti;H Elo. A negro woman eni;doed in the cnpitol at Atlanta has been arrested for eating some extra line specimens of kaolin that were on exhibition In the rooms of (he State Geological Survey. A number of the pieces of lay were missing and the imprint of teeth were found upon some of the other speciiio-ns. Detectives at last discovered that the culprit who was feasting ou geological exhibits was the colored scrubwoman, and it was evident that she had been indulging her strange, appetite for quite- a while. The custom of eating earth is practiced in widely separated regions, and Is particularly in vogue among the negroes and American Indians, ami has even been observed In Murope. The anthropolo?:it Lasch says that German quarrymen spre-ad clay on slices of bread and eat it with evident relish. A certain kind of earth that is found in Persia ts considered an epicurean eti.-h, and in the Mab.y a.rchi; . lago there, is an eaith known as "atnpoh." which is dug by some native- who sell it to the people as a food. TIu practice of earth eating h:'S s-pie.-.i! to a considerable extent in Chin. I. New Cab donia and New Guinea, ar.d Humboldt observe-d it in various parts of South America. Some' anthiopologists tell us that among many ravage peoples pregnant women are particularly disposed to the habit of rating earth ;ind clay. In Guatemala, dutiug cettain religious ceremonies, the faithful are often seen to de vour statuettes made of lay, and the practice in that country therefore ia allinl to i dir: ions superstition. This barbarous habit of earth eating Is most injurious and is said to often result in consumption, inflammation of the liver and anetnlrt. The best friendship says the leait about P,
