Male VS.. Female Angels.
EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: In a facetious
article that appeared in your issue of
yesterday morning concerning Mr..
Stepp's MARS Intcrplanetary rranspor-
tation Company l noticed this state
ment: There is no record of the exist
ence Of angels of the male persuasion,
except infants, and they never grow up"
Now, as a matter of fact, angels, &C
cording to the earliest ideas and frescoes,
have always been supposed to be mascu-
line, and there is no record worth men
tlonlng Of a feminine angel, excepting, of
course those who occupy this terrestrial
sphere. Not only the cherubim and the
seraphim-which 1 assume the writer
means by infants-are supposed to be
masculine, but the archangels, thrones,
powers, princedoms, Nominations and all
the other choirs of angels have for ages
been conceded to be of the ''male persDa-
sion"
And then angels who are spoken of in
the Bible as having appeared to various
individuals, such as the three who visited
Abraham, those who figured in Jacobs
dream and the angel who hailed Mary as
blessed above all women, have been rep
resented by Raphael, Murillo and Rem
brandt as young men. All of the Greek
moSaics and the very earliest rescoes
convey a definite idea of masculinity.
Why this is so is hard for US to under
stand, unless it is for the reason, so beau
tifully assigned by Madame de Stael, be-
cause the union of power with purity
constitutes all that we mortals can i'm
aglne OF perfection. a. w. w.
