THE KNOWLEDGE OF ANGELS.
July 11.
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man; no, not the angels which are in
heaven, neither the Son but the Father.—Mark 13:32.
THE ''desire to look into it." With all their powers of investigation,
with all their vast knowledge, here was a matter
that the angels had not fathomed, and they greatly desired to
know. Yet scientists sometimes feel that they are so husy as to
have no time to study this salvation. They are busy at studying
the structure of crystals. Why, angels know all about them.
They saw the particles taking their positions. These men are
busy investigating the strata of the rocks. Why, the angels saw
the upheaval of the rocks which so diversified and distorted the
strata. They were then at the formation of the earth and have
witnessed all the changes. The brightness of the sun does not
baffle their vision. These men are busy unweaving the rays of
light. The angels heard God when He spoke: "Let there be
light." All these things which so deeply concern these scientist?
are plain as "A B C" to the holy angels, who, nevertheless, so
desire to see into the plan of salvation, that subject which the
scientist deems of so little importance.
—Bishop M. Simpson, D. D.
Now from the hill the cloudy curtains rolled,
And in the lingering luster of the eve,
Again the Savior and His seraphs shone.
Emitted sudden in His rising, flashed
Intenser light, as toward the right-hand host
Mild turning with a look ineffable.
The invitation He proclaimed in accents
Which on their ravished ears poured thrilling, likfc
The silver sound of many trumpets heard
Afar in sweetest jubilee; then, swift
Stretching His dreadful scepter to the left
That shot forth horrid lightnings, in a voice
Clothed but in half its terrors, yet to them
Seemed like the crash of heaven, pronounced the doom.
The throne uprose majestically slow;
Each angel spread his wings.
And angels' voices, and the loud acclaim
Of all the ransomed, like a thunder-shout.
—James A. Hillhouse.
