And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a short sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire. —Revelation 14:17, 19.
TAKE the reach of an angel's mind, but at the same time take the seraphic fervor of an angel's benevolence along with it; how from the eminence on which he stands he may have an eye upon many worlds, and a remembrance of the origin and the successive concerns of every one of them ; how he may feel the full force of a most affecting relationship of one common Father ; and though it be both the effect and the evidence of our depravity, that we cannot sympathize with these pure and generous ardors of a celestial spirit, how it may consist with the lofty comprehension and the ever-breathing love of an angel, that he can both shoot his benevolence abroad over a mighty expanse of suns and systems, and lavish a flood of tenderness on each individual of their teeming population. —Dr. Chalmers.
Her angel's face, As the great eye of heaven, shyned bright, And made a sunshine in the shady place. —Edmund Spenser.
Was't for the helmed and crowned That suns were stayed at noonday? Stormy seas As a rill parted? Mailed archangels sent To wither up the strength of kings with death? I tell you if those marvels have been done, 'Twas for the wearied and the oppressed of men; They needed such. ---Geo. McDonald.
