KNOWS OF FEMININE ANGELS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you favor one of your constant readers
by publishing the name Of the "Out-of- town
Clergyman" who knows and has decided that
angels are masculine. not feminine2
This question IS suggested by the article in The
Tribune yesterday telling Of the action of Mr.
Borglum, the sculptor in destroying the angels
that had cost him over year OF reflection and
hard labor.
There are who have had such sweet and
noble wives that the thought Of Heaven Is to them
a reality and not dream but If angels are all
masculine in their characteristics. the charm Of a
future life will be ennihated.
