sings “I want to bo an angel,” will never
have her wish gratified. They aro super
human, but they are of different grades
and ranks, not all on the same level or the
sumo height. They have their superiors
and inferiors nnd equals. I propose no
guessing on this subject, but take the Bible
for my only authority. Plato, the philoso
pher, guessed and divided angels into
superoelestial, celestial and subcelestial.
Dionysius, the Areopagite, guessed and
divided them into three classes, the su
preme, the middle and the last, and each
of these into three other classes, making
nine in all. Philo said that the angels were
related to Gpd, as the rays to the sun.
Fulgentius said that they were'eomposed
o! body nnd Spirit. Clement said they
were incorporeal. Augustine said that
they had been in danger of falling, but
Dow are beyond being tempted. But the
oniy authority ou this subject that I re
spect says they are divided iuto etferubim,
seraphim, thrones, dominations, principal
ities. powers. Tneir commander in chief
is Michael. Daniel called him Michael.
St. John called him Michael. These
supernal beings are more thoroughly or
ganized than any army that ever marched.
They are swifter than anv cyclone that
ever swept the sea. They are more radiant
than any morning that ever came down
the sky.' and They have than more to do being with in your the
destiny mine any
universe except God. May the Angel of
the New Covenant, who is the Lord Jesus,
open our eyes and touch our tongue and
rouse our soul while we speak of their
deutlilessness, their intelligence, their
numbers, their strength, their achieve
ments.

Another remark I have to make concern
ing these illustrious immortals Is that they
are multitudinous. Their census has never

how many they are, but all the Bible ftC
counts suggest their immense numbers—
companies of them, regiments of them,
armies of them, mountain tops haloed by
them, skies populous with them, John
speaks of angels nnd other beings round
the throne as ten thousand times ten thou

ten thousand times ten thousand are 100,
000,0(10, But these are only the angels In
one place. David sky counted 20,000 of them
rolling down the in chariots. When
God came away from the riven rocks of
Mount Sinai, the Bible says Ho had the
companionship of 10,000 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. They outnumber ransomed
spirits in glory. When Abraham had his
kuifo uplifted to slay Isaac, it was an angel
who arrested the stroke, crying, “Abra
ham, Abraham!” It was a stairway of
the angels wilderness. that Jijyjob We saw told While au pillowed angel led in
are
the hosts of Israelites out of Egyptian
serfdom. It was an angel that showed
Hagar the fountain where she filled the
bottle for the lad. It was an angel that
took Lot out of doomed Sodom. It was an
angel that shut up the mouth of the hun
gry monsters when Daniel was thrown in
to the cavern. It was au angel that fed
Elijah under the juniper tree. Mary It wa6 an
angel that announced to angels the ap
proaching nativity. They were that
chanted when Christ was born. It was an
angel that strengthened angel our Saviour encouraged in His
agony. It was au that
Paul in the Mediterranean shipwreck.
It was an angel thatburst open the prison,
gate nfter gate, until Peter was liberated.
It was an angel that stirred the pool oi
Siloam, where the sick were healed. It
was an angel that John saw flying through
the midst of heaven, and an ungel with
foot planted on the sea, and an angei that
opened the book, and an angel that sound
ed the trumpet, nnd an angel that thrust
in the sickle, and an angel that pourod 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, the Lord
shall be revealed from heaven with mighty
angels. Oh, the numbers and the mignt
and the glory of these supernals—fleets of
them, squadrons of them, host beyond
host, rank above rank, millions on mill
ions, and all on our side if we will have
them!
This leads me to speak of the offices of
these supernals. To defend, to cheer, to
rescue, to escort, to give victory to the
right and overthrow the wro'ng—that is
their business—just Bible as alert to-day spread and
efficient as when in times they

penitentiaries or filled the mountains with
horses of lire hitched to chariots of fire and
driven by reinsmen of fire. They have
turned your steps a hundred times, and
you know it not. You were on the way to
do some wrong thing, and they changed
your course. They brought some thought
of Christian parentage or of loyalty to
your own home, and that arrested you,
They arranged that some one should meet
you at that crisis and propose something
honorable dud elevuting, 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 be made upon your

the doorstep of your immortal
spirit and the other foot lifted
for ascent into the skies. By some prayer

some time borne down with trouble, be

ness and all manner of troubles 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 of
earthly existence?” But suddenly your
mind brightened. Courage came surging
into your heart like oceanic tides. You
said, “God is ou my side, and all these ad
versities He can make turn out for my
good.” Suddenly you felt a peace, a deep
p9ace, the peace of God that passeth all
understanding. What made the change?
A sweet and mighty comforting angel of
the Lord met you. That was all.
Yes, a guardian angel for each one of
you. Put yourself now in right, accord with
Him. When He suggests the follow
it. When He warns you against the wrong,
shun it. Sent forth from God to help you
in this great battle against sin and death,
accept his deliverance. When tempted to
a feeling of loneliness and disheartenment,
appropriate the promise, “The angel of
the Lord encampeth around about them
that fear Him and d'elivereth them.” Oh,
I am so giad that tiie spaces between
here and heaven aro thronged with
these supernaturals taking tidings rolling
home, bringing messages here,
back obstacles from our path and giving
us defenses, for terrific are the forces who
dispute our way, and if the nation of the
good angels is on pur side the nation of
bad angels is on the other. Paul had it
right when ho said, “We wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against prin
cipalities, against powers, against the
rulers of tho darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high
places.” In that awful fight may God send
us mighty angelic re-enforcement! We
want nil their wings ou oar side, all their
swords on our side, all their chariots on
our side. '

mightier than those who are against usl

It has been stated that if the hairs

could be plaited together they would
make a rope strong enough to support
a weight of something like eighty tons,

SAVINGS OF THF! SO 1.tilth'S.
Large Saras of Money Deposited by Men
Serving in lhc Philippines.
The United States are paying a high
er rate of interest to soldiers than on
the last bond issue. Last year this in
ti rest account amounted almost to
$60,000. This interest, 4 per cent., in
paid on deposits, and only to enlisted
men. Officers are excluded. Any sol
dier, not retired, may deposit his sav
ings with any paymaster In sums not
less than $5. Money once deposited
may remain until expiration of his en
listment. This privilege of depositing
money has been of great value to the
soldiers, for it provides security for
their surplus money, and is profitable.
During the past year the record of
deposits lias been remarkable, but It la
plain that the higkwater mark has not
been reached. For the fiscal year end
ing June 30 more than half a million
dollars was deposited by the troops at
Manila alone. This record promises to
be eclipsed during the current year,
nnd the army officials would not be
surprised if deposits of soldiers in the
Philippines reached $1,500,000. One
reason for this increase is that there
are more' soldiers of the depositing
class than last year; that is, there are
more regulars. And even the new vol
unteers may almost be included In the
same category, for they realize that
they are in for at least two years,
while the volunteers last year knew
their term of service would be brief,
and consequently had little incentive
to deposit. The deposits were almost
exclusively confined to regulars. In
some companies now more than half
the members are depositing, and it is
believed the fever will spread, at least
in the Philippines and other distant
possessions. Until In the near future
almost every soldier will be a depositor.
The benefit of this to the soldier can
readily be seen.
The records of deposits are kept in
the office of the paymaster general.
Said a clerk engaged on this work:
“You have no idea to what extent this
feature of soldiers’ deposits has growu.
Before the late war they were almost
insignificant, but they have grown with
such tremendous strides that we are
away behind, notwithstanding increas
ed force and extra hours. We have
just received a paymaster’s abstract
from Man'ia containing the names of
almost 1,400 depositors, amounting in
all to over $35,000. It may seem like
fiction, hut some soldiers are deposit
ing more than their whole monthly
pay.”
This last statement is substantiated
by showing the deposit record of a
company cook in the Ninth infantry,
in the Philippines, whose pay is ?21.(j0
a month, and who has been depositing
not less than $24 every month ouring
his Philippine service. He also show
ed the entry of a single deposit of $13,
000. marie by a private at West Point,
a few months ago, and said that not
long ago a single deposit of $23,000
was made. Every now and then
heavy deposits are made, or deposits
in excess of the depositor’s pay, and
naturally considerable conjecture is
occasioned. Some attribute them to
inheritances or earnings on the out
side, while others are so bold as to in
sinuate that occasionally the soldiers
engage in games of chance, such as
poker and craps. Deposits and inter
est are forfeited by desertion.—New

The Doctor’s Guess.
Lawyer Chapman of Los Angeles

Chapman loves a good dinner, and one
day, just before the big ease was to
come up in court, ate more than he
ought. The next day lie was sick, and
White look a doctor around to see him.
Chapman was groaning with pain and
the doctor was puzzled. At last the
doctor noticed a red spot on Chapman's
check bone, and came to the conclu
sion that Chapman needed a dentist,
and told him so. “You have an ulcer

Ru*»ian Policemen.
A good story is being told in St Pe
tersburg of the The Russian police,
which the papers pronounce to be ex
ceedingly characteristic. A new gov
ernor was sunt to a certniu town in
the Interior, and the Inhabitants at
once began to complain that the police
were badly organized, since however
much they were wanted they never
would come when they were sent for.
The governor determined to test this
for himself, ao one night he set out for
the barracks, where the police nnd the
Arc brigade were quartered. He ac
costed the sentry: “Do you know me?”
“tes, your excellency.’’ “If a man was
being murdered close by would you
quit your post?” “Never, your excel
lency.” “Good,” said the governor,
“you know your duty. Well, what
would you do?” “I should blow my
whistle to rouse the guard.” "Good.
Let us suppose some one is being mur
dered here. Whistle.” The soldier
blew r , but not a soul answered. He
blew again nnd again, but tile same si
lence prevailed. “That will do,” said
the governor, at last, “you have whis
tled your utmost, and nobody lias
come, but, at any rate, your conscience
is tranquil, now you can go to sleep.

“I am very grateful to you for yonjP'
kindness and the interest you barb 1
taken in me, and truly belisvs you*:
medicines and advice are worth mom*
to a woman than all the doctors in tfl® *
world. For years f had fcnanla trouble^'
and did nothing for them. Of course
I became no better and finally brofc*'
down entirely. My troubles began j 1
with inflammation and hemorrhagpfl.
from the kidneys, then inllammatioA,j of woml^
congestion and falling the
and inflammation of ovaries. >1
' “ I underwent local treatment everv,
day for some time; then after nonrT#J
two months the doctor gave me perinlSr'
sion to go back to work. I went back,
but in less than a week was co X!
pelled to give up and go to bed.
breaking down the second time, I dd*j
elded to le.t doctors and their medicinal
alone and try your remedies. Before^
the first bottle was gone I felt the oft>]
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.- :
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and mol »1
package of her Sanative Wash did
more good than all the doctors’ treats
ments and medicine.
“The first remark that greets m«
now is ‘How much better you look!' and
you may be sure I never hesitate to tell*
the cause of my health.”—M»». E. J,
