| OF Jne heavenly inhabitants, the seraphiu
They are called burners, because they loo
like fire. Lips of fire. eyes of fire, feet c
fire In addition to the features and ia
limbs which suggest human being ther
are piniens which suggest the lithest, tn
swiftest, the most buOyant and most IN
spring of all intelligent creation-a bird
Each seraph had six wings, each two @
the wings for different purpose. Isaiah
dream quivers and flashes with these pin
ions. Now folded, now spread, ROW bcatel
in locomotion with twain lac covere,

and with twain he did fly"
GODS SWIFT MESSENGERS.
The probability is that these wings wer,
not all used at once. The seraph STANDING
there near the throne, overwhelmed at the
insignlficance of the paths his feet bad
trodden as compared with the paths trodt!er
by the feet Of God, and with the lamcnes-
4 of his loconotion, amounting almost Ia
decrepitude as compared with the divine
velocity, with feathery veil of angelic mod
| esty hides the feet. with twain he did
cover the feet"
Standing there overpowered by the over
matching splendors Of Gods glory, and
unable longer with the eyes to look upon
the insulferable glory, the pinions gather
over the countenance "With twain he
did cover the face Then as God tells this
seraph to go to the farshest outpost Of iiu-
mensity on message Of lieht and love and
joy, and get back before the first anthem.
it does not take the seraph n great while
to spread himself upon the air with uuim-
agined celebrity one stroke Of the wing
equal to ten Thousand leagues Of air.
with twain he did Gy."
The most practical and useful lesson for
you and me, when we see the seraah
spreading his wings over the feet, is a les.
son of humility at imperfection. The
brightest angels of God are so far beneath
God that he charges them with folly. The
seraph 50 far beneath God and we so far
beneath the seraph in service we ought 10
be plunged in humility, utter and complete.
Our feet, how laggard they have been in
the divine service! Our feet, how many
misstePs they have taken. Our feet, in
how many paths of worldliness and folly
they have walked
