-'s We Riu'ftt not conclude become we
dbnotJind jnanifcgted on tbia earth
any other iutelligencie save the Cre
ator and man, there are none. There
is a great gap stretching itselt between
God and man. This, the heathen mind
as well a the christian fills. The ra
tiensil probability of heathen mytholo
gy in iilliug up the gap with sub deities
and heroes, is respectable. But to till
it with any intelligent certainty is left
to divine revelations, us found in the
racred scriutures. From this source
ne find God, the Creator, infinite y,-
supreme, and man chiel ot carting
creatures, but when we venture into
nu uueartly realm' we find unearthly
creatures, below Uwl and .above man
Whenever (iod specially reveals
llim&elf we find attendants other. than
man. In creation the morning stars
out for joy. In prophecy revealed,
spirits other than man arc the mouth
jiicces. In Christ's advent they fill the
:heavens. In the Savior's resurection
. they ait at the tomb. In His ascension
they fill the air. This shows an order
of intelligences higher and of nobler
mould than man, yet subservaut to
(iod, their Lord and Maker.
The term angel does not define them,
but is used to indicate them because
of an otiice they often fill ; because
they ae God's special evangels to man,
and in consequence we have always
known them us sent from God, we are
taught to call them angels. Man has
been called an angel for the same rea
son, as the ministers of the seven
churches they were called God's an
uels. God. Himself, has been called
lhe angel of the Lord, as in the case of
Abraham ottering Jsaac, ana wnere
Jacob wrestles in prayer with the an
gel of the Lord. But the personages
o frequently noted as angels, in the
Bible, are an order of intelligencies
distinct from these. Those known as
Morning Stars, Sons of God, cherubin
and seraphim, thrones and dominions,
powers, who sing, shout, desire to look
into, who know not, who stand ready
to defend Jesus by more than twelve
legions, who are ascendmg and dec-ending
on the Son of man, who need
no repentance, the living ones, etc.
All of these shining intelligencies we
group into one order known as the an
gels. 1. They are distinct from God
They do not create, they are them
selves created. "God made all things,
visible and invisible." They do not
know all things. God is omniscient,
they are subjects amendable. They
fall like lightening when they disobey.
2. They are distinct from man. They
are not corporeal. They were beforo
the world. They do not depend on
earth for birth or development. They
are not physically corporeal. They
are not subject to redemption's offer.
When Jesus comes to judge the
world they shall be attendants and
witnesses of what takes place between
God and man, hence distinct. Their
mission is from God to man. Device
could not make a minister of Lazarut,
but God does give His angels charge
over us.
The nature of these evangels is of
superior intelligence, iney nave a
memory beyond creation, live in the
divine presence and tutleage. Be
cause of this God holds Satan and his
reserved unto burnings, but excuses
man by a Savior and a probation.
They must be perfectly holy if tolerat
ed in God's presence, for .an absolute
heaven implies this. They are hope
ful. The future buds. with blessing
.and reward, for they sin not. So they
jire represented as shining and singing
Their state must be happy, perfectly
jo if obedient; or miserable, perfectly
miserable if d." obedient. Their state
is, 1. They are divided into two di
visions, the good and the evil. Matt.
125-31. Rev. 12 0. 2. The good occupy
the divine presence, the evil are thrust
out. JKev. J 2-9. 3. ine good are en
gaged in the redemption work of sav
ing sinners. Luke 15-7. '4. The good
have God for their king, evil are re
served unto judgment. 5. That Satan
is the king of fallen angels. From this
can be no scripture dissent, and should
make us as moral creatures look on
and tremble. The number of the an
gels is represented as a mighty host, a
multitude which cannot be numbered.
Legions. A grand heavenly army to
protect the electof God ; a dense cloud,
as the stars which cannot be number
ed. Oh, mighty throng ! What wonder 1
The fallen angels are of special im
portance to fallen sinners. The fallen
angels are noticed in different instanc
es by Jesus, Himself. Satan is their
leader and with them shall meet a pre
pared doom. That Satan was the son
f the morning, transgressed and fell
like lightning from heaven, and is now
employed with the fallen spirits to
lempt man. Man is created, a ser
pent tempt. Job is a perfect man,
&atan appears. David is after God's
own heart, Satan confronts and per
suades him. Jesus is born, Satan meets
Him and vexes Him for forty days
and nights. The apostles must re
sist him, and John sees him at last
cast into a bottomless pit. 1st. Satan
is instigated against God in saving sin
ners. 2. 8aiM intereepts every re
penting sinner. We submit these con
jectures. 1st. Why is it so hard to be
come a Christian f Is Satan's strong
hand not on them ? 2. Why do dis
tressed sinners cry so earnestly to be
delivered if not held by an enemy ? 3.
How can Satan conduct such gigantic
evil without aids devils ? 4, May not
God permit this for the ultiajate good
of children, thovgbse illy understood
by them?
How the entire doctrine of angels
magnify God's kingdom and power;
how it enhances the future home of
the saints, where man redeemed to
perfection shall company with these
superiorities. See how they are now
interested in our. salvation. We should
be assuifd in death. God will' send
these holy ones down to bear our hap
py spirits away.
. "Thr will come Ood'c mwrnfera of lore,
They will come from realms of peace and
love.
From homes of revar ftding light.
From blit.'tal mansions ever bright.
An angel guard to o supply
When on tna bet of dath we lie."
'Lor1, when we leave this otrUt groand,
And thou snail bid us rise and eoiae.
Send thy beloved angel down
Safe to coudu t oar spiriis home."
