KEEP WATCH OVER US
We Are Guarded by Angels Says
DR.. Talmage.
supernnl beings who Give warning
when Evil ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to
God, they Control Our
Destiny,
Copyright. 1899, Louis Klopseh)

The brilliant beings supposed by
some TO be imaginary are by DR.. Tai
mage in his sermon shown to be real
and to have much to do with our every
Gay life. The text is Judges 1919:
And the angel did wondrously"
Fire built on rock. Mauoah and his
wife had there kindled the flames for
sacrifice in praise of God and in honor
of guest whom they supposed to be
mar. But as the flame rose higher and
higher their strange guest stepped into
the flame and by one red leap assembled
into The skies. Then they knew that was
an angel of the Lord. THE angel did
wondrously."
Two hundred and forty-eight times
does the Bible refer to the angels, yet
never heard or read sermon on angel
ology. The whole subject is relegated
to the realm mythical, wierd, spectral
and unknown Such adjournment is
un-Scriptural and wicked. OF their life,
their character, their habits, their ac-
lions, their velocities, the Bible gives
las full length portraits, and why this
prolonged and absolute silence con-
corning them? Angelology is my
theme.
There are two nations of angels. and
they are hostile to each otEer-thc ma
ton OF good angels and the nation of
bad angels. OF :he foruer chiefly
speak to-day. Their capital, their head
quarters, their grand rendezvous, is
Heaven. but their empire is the uni
verse. They are q distinct race of crea-
turcs. No human being can ever join
their confrutcrnity. The little child
who in the Sabbath school sings 81
want to be an angel" viii never have
her wish Eratidcd. They are supcrhu-
man, but they are of different grades
and ranks. not all on the same level or
the same height They have their SUE
pcriors and interiors aud equals. lpro-
pose no guc~iu" ou this subject, but
take the Bible for myuwhorilv. Plato.
The philosophers guessed uuI divided
angels into suprrco'or.uI, celestial and
sulceles,ial. N.ouy .us. the Arcouo-
gite, guessed, and divided them into

most OF the time in Tarlac and the
