EDITORS COURIER: l should esteem
it favor to be granted the privilege
of short space in your liberal Jour-
nal to reply to an article in the Des
Moines Valley Gazette, of the 10Th
inst.
First-The term "angel," accord
ing to Webster, signifies spirit or
splritusl being, as generally under
stood throughout Christendom, in
Webster's day and generation, and as
it had been generations before, but
in very ancient times. l have been
taught to understand that .'angcl"
signi6ed an organized, physical in
dividual man, but of more exalted
mental development than the gener-
ality of his fellow-men, particularly
in tho teaching Of abstract truths.
Writer asks elbow is it that spirit
can be Invested ofindividuality ?"
Before | answer, l will here remark,
"rhat hold that all that constitutes
my being is Of infinite and of eternal
duration"
Then comes the inquiry, "What
are the constituents of physically
organized, intellectual and animated
beings. When and where, and how,
were they originated, physically,
mentally, or spiritually, as you would
have it? And where are the millions
of spiritua)itics and Municipalities,
that have no proper personalities to.

Who and what were Elias and
Moses at the time of Christ's trans
fguration on the Mount +? I have
already answered. But / further
answer they were men, teaching and
intoxicating what to them seemed To
be established truths of former ages.
In answer to where God was at the
time of Moses and Elias appearance
On the Mount, l answer. He was
where he ever had been, was then,
and ever will be, being infinite in all
his attributes-eternal in existen CO
and incomprehenslble to all finite
beings.
Qucstion.-Was Johns fellow SER

sense as before defined, but like some
other men of this day, of exalted
intellect. He deemed it sufficient
exaltatisn for him to be an equal

MAINE CLASSICAL STANDARDIZATION of the
Con,naittee.-The committee appointed by the
Name Congregational Conference at their SEES
sion at Bangor last June, were in session YES
terday. After hearing the proposals from the
cities and towns of Hallowell, Auburn, Gorham
and Yarmouth, they went into secret session
at +. M. and did not close their delbeI atious
until half-past 10 o'clock, when it was decided
that the city of Auburn should have the honor
OF the location. The committee present were
seven, and one of the number was from Au-
burn The result will probably surprise all
Interested parties, and no community more
than the successful one. The cash offer of that
city was ten thousand dollars less than the
one made from Gorham, and the offer of build
ings and real estate is less valuable The
efforts which have been made at Yarmouth and
Gorham resulted in each place in large sub
scription, the aggregate of hundreds of gifts
These subscriptions were obtained thrc ugh
much labor, AMI with the understanding that
money consideration would enter largely into
the argument, which would secure favorable
decision. The decision will be disappoint-
ment to the noble generosity of those two
towns noted for their zeal and efforts for edu.
catlonal purposes. The institution will be To-
Gated in beautiful CITY, and this will be a
compensation to those that are disappointed
should the result finally prove advantageous to
the Interests and purposes to be promoted by
this unexpected action.
