found himself confronted by enough
people to fin an orainary-sized church.
All intent on shaking hands with him.
The subject OF discourse for the after
noon was, "A seraphic Diet" the text
selected being Psalms 1925: "Man
did eat angels 1000"
Somewhat risky would be the un-
dertaking TO tell just. what was the
mamma that fen TO the Israelites in
the wilderness; Of what it was made
how 1t was made and who made IT,
Inc mamma was called angels fOOd.
Out why so called? Was 1t because il
came nom the palace where angels
hVe; or because angels compounded
II; or because angels did eat IL; or be-
cause IL was good enough Tor angels?
On what crystal platter was il carried
10 the door OF heaven, ana then thrown
out! How did iJ taste2 We are told
there was in il something like honey,

this dchcacy OF the skies. IL must
have been nutritious. Tor a nation
lived on 10 for forty years. 10 must
have been healtbful. for it is SO inSpir-
lngly applauded IL must have been
abundant because 10 dismissed The
necessity or sUtler tor great army.
Each person had a ration OF three
quarts day allowed 10 him. and SO
nlteen million pounds were necessary
every week Those were the times OF
which Uy text speaks. when man
did eat angels food. IF the good
Lord, who has helped me so often,
viii help me now, / Will hrsJ tell You
what as angels food, and then how
We may get some OF it for ourselves.
In our mortal state we must have for
mastlcatiOn. .aul digestion and as
similaIOn the products oil the earth.
COrpOrietv. as well as mentality and
spiritually, characterizes us. The
style OF diet has much 70 do with our
well-being Light and UOthy food
taken exclusively results i'm weak
muscle 'dnd semi-invalidlSm. The
taking Of too much animal food pro
dUces sensuaiity. NegeJarians are
cranks Reasonable selection Of the
farinaceous and the solid ordinarily
produces physical stamina.
But we have all occasionally been
in an ecstatic state where We forgot
the necessity Of earthly food. We
were fed by JOYS. by anticipations, by
discoveries. by comprehensive that
dwindled the dining room hour into
insignihcance, and made the pleasures
OF the table stupid and uninviting.
There have been cases where from
seemingly invisible sources the human
body has been maintained as in the
remarkable case of our invalid and
Christian neighbOr, MOllie Fancher
known throughout the medical and
Christian world for that she was
seven weeks without earthly food, fed
and sustained
on HEAVENLY VISIONS.
Our leloved Doctor Irenaeus Prime
editor and theClogian, recorded the
wonders concerning this girl Pro
fess0r West. the great scientist. mary
elled over it. and Willard Parker, of
worldwide famein surgery, threw up
his hands ia amaZement at it. There
are times in an our lives when the
soul asserts itself. and says to the
body:
Hush, Stand back, Stand down
I am at "a banquet where no chalices
CLEAN. and no viands smoke, and no
culinary implements clatter. / am
feeding on that which no human hand
has mixed. and no earthly oven baked.

have never been in such an exalted
state. I c0mmiserare your leaden tenn

service as incompetent to understand
The thrilling and glorious suggestive
ness of my leNt when II says. Man
did eat angels food.
Now. what do the supernaturalS live
ono They experience none OF the de
mands of corpOriety. and have no
bindrauceor environment in the shape
of hone. and muscle. and flesh. and
hence that which may delectate our
Dalate. or invigorate our poor. dying
frames would be OF no use TO them.
NV text saws so. There may be other
courses Of food in the heavenly menu
that am not aware Of, but I know Of
FIVE or six STYLES Of food always on
celestial tables when cheruoim. and
seraphim. and archangei gather for
heavenly repast: the mystery OF re-
demption: celestialized music; the
heavenly picturesque; sublime colo
c,,. eternal enterprises; sanity asSO-
cio+ion Divine c0mpaniOnship; Cele-
bratiye jubiiance.
Where is one subject that exciteS the
curiosity and inquisitiveneSs OF all
those angels. St. Peter says: Which
