ANGELS ALL MEN
New York Herald.

I r. . O. fs- b
Whether angels should be represented
as Of the masculine or feminine gender
members Of the building Committee sna teoe q
the Cathedral Of st. John the Divine. on
Morningside heights. Two clergymen Of
the committee have raised objection be-.
cause the models for two angels that
are to adorn tho Belmont Memorial
chapel are women angels.
The objectors declare that while the
Bible does not contain any direct refer
ence to the sex Of the angels, never
theless they are frequently represented
In human form and speaking and act
Ing as men. Several delegates to the
recent diocesan convention, who visited.
the cathedral, were much exercised
when they saw the angel Of thesannun-
ciation and the angel Of the resurrec-
lion represented as women.
They sought out the sculptor, DIR. j.
Eantzen Mothe- Borglum, and told him
what they thought Of his women angels.
They also went to the Rev. DIR. Hunt-
mgton, rector Of Grace church, who is
chairman Of the building committee,
ind told him things. b
Ss AS a result Of all this agitation the
render Of the seraphim and cherubim
& d the chapel is to be changed, The
sountenances will take on very aus
sere expression and the graceful forms
will show fewer curves. The outlines
/ sill be more masculine. These changes,
! { is said, will allay further criticism.
