WHO ARE THE ANGELS?

The Rev. Dr. Huntingdon of the new Protestant
Episcopal Church cathedral, in New York, has evil
IDENTIFY discovered by this lne that there is at least
one other subject besides mans uselessness at tho
age of 40, which will stir up a hornets nest.
When he made his initial objection against the
artists feminine conception of the angels of the
Resurrection and Amunciation he doubtless had
little thought of the extent Of the controversy he
was about to start
We are not at all prepared to discuss this deep
and intricate problem from theological point of
view. Relying solely our sentiments which are,
after all, safe guides in many cases. it seems a
shame to rule out TIE feminine in this summary
fashion. In mundane things. at least, which is as
far as our personal knowledge goes man cannot
lay much claims to qualities that are associated
with wings-unless, indeed, you call him a bird
and however fattering it would be to our personal
pride to coincide with Rev DR.. Huntingdon IN his
views on the of the angelic host. we haven't the
nerve in the face of some unpleasant facts to enlist
under his standard
As we remarked above we don't pretend for
moment to speak theologically but for the life of
us we eanot see the objection to real nice refined
ladv-angel
1t seems so much more appropriate Everyone
admits that the ladies are much nearer than the
men to that state, here below and why is it neces-
sary to conclude that heaven is just the opposite.
vi course it may be just as Dr. Huntington
says but one Is prone to judge by present cond-
tlons, and whoever says that man presents the
truer type of the angelic is either in need of med
zeal attention has reference to another class of
angels-subway spirits.-Catholic Mirror. Balt-

A witty lawyer, says the Dublin Freeman, has
made clever variation on the well known proverb,
Possession is nine points of the law" He was
talking about the Importance in life of selfcontrol
and he said Possession is nine points of the law
sef-possession is the other point" There is a good
deal of truth about the remark, as also about the
saying that If you in the wrong you cannot
afford to lose your temper; if you are in the right
there is no occasion to lose your temper"
