sings, "I want to bean uugel,” will never
have her wish gratified. They are super¬
human, hut they are of different grades
and ranks, not nil on the same lovel or the
same height. They have their superiors
and inferiors and equals. I propose Bible no
guessing on this subject, but take the
for my only authority. Plato, the philoso¬
pher, guessed and divided angols into
superoelestial, celestial aud subcelestial.
Dionysius, the Areopagite, guessed and
divided them Into three classes, the su¬
preme, the middle and the last, and each
of them into three other classes, making
k nine In all. Philo said that the angels were
related to God, as the rays to the sun.

Is Michael. Daniel called him Michael.
Bt. 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
jttie flestiny sky. and They mine have than more any to do being with in your the
universe except God. May the Angel of
the Now Covenant, who is the Lord Jesus,
open our eyes and touch our tongue and
rouse our soul while we speak of their
denthlessness, their intelligence, their
numbers, their strength, their achieve¬
ments.
Yes, deathless. They had a cradle, but
will never have a grave. The Lord remam-
Ibers when they were born, extinguished but no one
shall ever see their eye or
their momentum slow up or their existence
terminate. The oldest of them has not a
wrinkle or a decrepitude or a hindrance,
as voung after 6000 years as at the close of
their first hour. Christ said die of the good

whom I speak. They will see world aftor
world go out, but there shall bo no fading
of their own brilliance. Yea, afterthe last
world has taken Its last flight they will be
ready for the widest circuit through im¬
mensity, taking a quadrillion of miles In
one sweep as easy as a pigeon circles a
dovecot. They are never sick. They are
never exhausted. They need no sleep, for
they are never tired. At God’s oommand
they smote with death in one night 185,000
of Sennacherib’s host, but no fatality can
smite them. Awake, agile, multipotent,
deathless, Immortal! radiant
A further characteristic of these
folk is intelligence. The woman of Tekoah
was right when she spoke to King mortals David of
the wisdom of an angel. Wo take
In what little we know through eye and
ear and nostril and touch, but those beings
have no physical encasement, and hence
they are all senses. A wall five feet thick
ls not solid to them. Through It they go
without disturbing flake of mortar or crys¬
tal of sand. Knowledge! It 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. The letters of their books are stars.
The dashes of their books are meteors. The
words of their books are constellations.
,Tbe paragraphs of their books are galax¬
ies. The pictures of their books are sun¬
rises and sunsets and midnight auroras
and the Conqueror on the white horse with
the moon under his feet. Their library is
hn open universe. No need of telescope to
tee something millions of miles away, and for
pnstantly they are there to inspect ex¬
plore It. All astronomies, all geologies, all
Botanies, all philosophies, nt their feet.

But that does not discredit their intelli-
gonce. No one hut God Himself can fully
understand the wonders of redemption.
It all heaven should study it for fifty
eternities, they would get no further than
the A B G of that inexhaustible subject.
But nearly all other realms of knowledge
they have ransacked and explored and
compassed. No one but God can tell
them anything they do not know. They
have read to the last word of the last line
of the last page ot the last volume of in¬
vestigation, and what delights me most is
that all their intelligence is to he at oar
disposal, and, coming into their presence,
they will tell us in five minutes more than
we can learn by 100 years ot earthly sur¬
mising.
A further characteristic of these immor¬
tals is their velocity. This the Bible puts
sometimes under the figure of wings, some¬
times uuder the figure of a flowing gar¬

ten thousand times ten thousand are 100,-
000,000. But these are only the angels in
one place. David counted 20,000 of them
rolling down the sky In chariots. When ;
God came away from tlio riven rocks of

It will be an
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 might
and the glory of these supernals—fleets of
them, squadrons o£ them, host beyond

ions, and all on our side if we will 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 and elevating, or they took
from your pocket some ticket to evil
amusement, a ticket that you never found.

very one that guided you to this service

the Lord met yon. That was all.
Yes, a guardian angel for each one of
you. Put yourself now in accord with
Him. When He suggests the right, follow
it. When He warns you agalust the wrong,
shun it. Sent forth from God to help you
in this great battle against sin and death,
accept bis deliverance. When tempted to
a leeling of loneliness and dlsbeartenment,
appropriate the promise, "The angel of
the Lord encampeth around about them
that fear Him and deltvereth them.” Oh,
I am so glad that the spaces between
here and heaven are thronged with
these supernaturals taking tidings
home, bringing messages here, rolling
back obstacles from our path und giving
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 ls on the other. Paul had It
right when he said, “We wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against prin¬
cipalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness ot this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high
places.” In that awful fight may God send
us mighty angelio re-enforeemeutt We
want all their wings oa our side, all their
swords on our side, all their oharlots on
our side.
Thank God that those who are for us are
mightier than those who are against us!
And that thought makes mo jubilant as the to
final triumph. Belgium, you know, was Yes,
battleground of England and France.
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
und bad. Michael, the commander-in-chfef
on one side; Lucifer, as Byron calls him,
or Mephlstopheles, as Goethe calls him; or
Sutun, as the Bible calls him, the oom-
mander-iu-ohiof on the other side. All pure
angelhood under the one le dershlp and all
abandoned angelhood under the other lead¬
ership. Many a skirmish have thetwoarm-
les had, hut the great and decisive battle la
yet to be fought. Either from onr earthly
homes or down from our supernal resi¬
dences may we come iu on the right side,
for on that side are God and heaven and
victory. Slean while the battle is being set

SAYINGS 01- THE SOLiMEKS.
Largs ?m:is of Money Depositee ky Men
Ssrvinj in file Philippines.
The United States are paying a high¬
er rate of interest to soldiers than on
the last bond issue. Last year this in-
fcrest account amounted almost to
>50,000. ’This interest, 4 per cent., L
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 eu-
1 is; meet. This privilege of depositing
money has been of great value to the
soldiers, for It provides security for
their surplus money, and ls profitable.
During the past year the record of
deposits has been remarkable, but it io
plain that the high-water 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,
and the army officials would not be
surprised If deposits of soldiers in the
Philippines reached $1,600,000. Ona
reason for this increase is that there
are more soldiers of the depositing
class than last yeas; that ls, 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 novr more than hnli
te member* or are a rlnnositimr depositing, anu ftnd It u is x»
believed the fever will spread, at least
in the Philippines and other distant
possessions. Until the near future
almost every soldier vrtll be a depositor.
The benefit Of this to the soldier can
readily be *een.
The records of deposits are kept In
Abe office of the paymaster general.
Said a clern engaged on this work:
"You hare no idea to what extent this
feature of soldiers’ deposit* has grown.
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’la containing the names of
almost 1,400 depositor*, amounting in
all to over $35,000. It may seem like
fiction, but some soldiers are deposit¬
ing more than their whole monthly
pay.”
This last statement ls
by showing the deposit record of a
company cook In the Ninth Infantry,
in the Philippines, whose pay is $21.60
a month, and who has been depositing
not less than $24 every month during
his Philippine service. He also show¬
ed the entry of a single deposit of $13,-
000, made 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
York Sun.
The Doctor’s Guess.
Lawyer Chapman of Los Angeles
was once associated with Senator Ste¬
phen M. White in a certain case.
Chapman loves a good dinner, and orie
flay, just before the big case was to
come up In court, ate more than he
ought. The next day he was sick, and
White took 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
cheek bone, and came to the conclu¬
sion that Chapman needed a dentist,
and told him so. “You have an ulcer¬
ated tooth. That’s what alls you.”
Chap quit groaning long enough to
turn to his wife and say: “Just baud
me my plates off the bureau, so I can
see which one of those blamed teeth is
xching.”—The Argonaut.

A food Rlory ti b«lag told In 8t IV
tonburg of tbo The Russian police,
which the papers pronounce to be ex¬
ceedingly characteristic. A new gov¬
ernor was sent to a certain town In
the Interior, and the Inhabitants at
once began to complain that the police
were badly organized, since however
much they were wantod they never
would come when they were sent for.
The governor determined to test this
for himself, so one night he set out for
the barracks, where the police and the
Are brigade were quartered. He ac-
costed the sentry: "Do you know me?”
"Yes, your excellency.” “If a man was
being murdered close by would you
quit your post?” “Never, your excel-
leney.” "Good,” said the governor,
"you know your duty. Well, what
would you do?” “I should blow my
whistle to rouse the guard." "Good,
Let ua suppose some one ls being niur-
dered here. Whistle.” The soldier
blew, but not a soul answered, He
blew again and again, but the same si-
lence prevailed. "That will do,” said
the governor, at last, "you have whig-
tled your utmost, and nobody lia3

How Mrs. Pinkham
HELPED MRS. GOODEN.
[Lins* TO ns. TtxxBAU no. 11 , 713 !
"I am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years I had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
w j t j, inflammation and hemorrhages
f ro m the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries,
“ I underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me perrois-
slon to go back to work. I went back,
but in leas than » week was eom-
pellcd to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, I de-
elded to let doctors aud their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before*
the first bottle was gone I felt the ef-
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinlrham s \ egetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative VY ash did me
more good than all the doctors’ treat¬
ments and medicine.
‘‘The first remark that greets me
now ia ‘How much better you look!’ and
you may be sure I never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health.” —Mbs. E. J.
