- T%1 EW YORK preachers, after long
ANy 1Mht and prayerfuI deliberatiOn, have
~1OM& AkNHI decided that's there are no such
lN KGkI4l things as feminine angels and have

are saying about those dear preachers strengthens
their belief that they we're right So far as biblical
authority goes, and in the absence Of special
statutes, this must be accepted, the preachers have
much the better Of the argument. at the time be.
Book was written angels seem to have been as com.
mon as Euglish sparrOws and 80 tame that they
would eat out Of your hand. Tins our ancient pro-
genitors had every opportunity to become real well
acquainted with them and they are invariably
spoken OF as being Of the masculine persuasion.
Now, those we're times OF much mystery; nearly
everybody harbored some deep, dark, secret in his
bosom, and it is only natural to sUppOsd that had
There been any feminine angels they would have
been fitting around trying to fnd out what was
going on. The only thing that leads us to believe
that there might have been feminine angels In those
days, il not now, is the way Luciier and Ariel cut
mp. In modem times no such trouble arisespunless
there is q woman at the bottom Of it, But this ID
pure conjecture and is valueless as proof.
There 10 another instance, also purely coniecturaI
that gives ground for belief that there might
possibly have been limited number Of feminine
angels ct one time. In Revelations st. John tells
rs Of meeting an angel who was carrying book.
st. John asked to see the book, and the angel who
by the way, is alluded to as che, said: HTake the
book and devOur II; and il shall make thy belly it
ter, but in thy mouth It shall be as gweet as hOneyN
The only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from
this ig that 1t was cook book compiled by some
young married. angel. The things would taste an
right, but dyspepsia and indigestion would follow in
their wake. St. John speaks Of meeting many an
gels on that trip, but nowhere does he tell OF any
bnt strictly stag affairs. We think it may be safely
assumed that he NO femme angels Tor after all
st. John was only man, and knowing men, We b.
lieve he would have said something about Il II ha
had met any Of the ladies. In an Indirect way Sc.
John throws some light on the subject. He met the
turnkey OF the bOttOmess pit. Il was q man angel.
Of course each one would have to draw his own con-
illusions as to who we're In the pit but as no women
were IN sight-but that, too, IL speculative.
Personally, we have no doubt that there are femi-
nine angela in the other world as there are in thin
one The fact that they did not 20 skylarkine
aronnd meeting strange men or making political
speeches in LUciier's campaign has no weight.
Why should theyf The men had to be kept busy %
keep them out Of mischief and besides NO ladylike
angel would DO such things anyway. 1t ia the more
probable solution 81 abe matter to believe that Gt
John was entertained at the clubs and was not in
troduced to the boudOirs. He went there 81 bnei-
ness, had an aesignment to write up the place and
there was no heavenly reason why he should try 10
butt into society Besides, reporters are not to be
respondents. Even William d. Curtis Or Lincoln u.
stens couldn't have expected TO see everything at
one trip.
From 81. Johns account Of his trip, We Imagine
