WINGS OF SERAPHIM.
DR. TALMAGE'S PRACTICAL SERMON
UPON AN EXALTED THEME.
Ho Urges His Hearers to Aspire to Fly
Upward ? Dying, He Says, Is bat the
Molting Season For the .Soul ? Living
Near Christ.
Washington, Feb. 28.?Iu this disl
coarse Dr. Talmage takes a most exalted
theme and makes it practical and useful
totiie^last degree. The subject is
""Wings of Seraphim," and the text is
Isaiah vi, 2, "With twain he covered his
face, and with twain he covered his feet,
and with twain he did fly."
In a hospital of leprosy good King
Uzziah had died, and the whole land
was shadowed with solemnity, and theological
and prophetic Isaiah was thinking
about religious things, as one is apt
to do in time of great national bereavement,
and forgetting the presence of his
wife and two sons, who made up his
family, ho has a dream not like the
dreams of ordinary character, which
generally come from indigestion, but a
vision most instructive, and under the
touch of the hand cf the Almighty.
The place, the ancient temple?building
grand, awful, majestic. Within that
temple a throne higher and grander
than that occupied by any czar or sul
tan or emperor. On that throne, the
eternal Christ. In lines surrounding
that throne, the brightest celestials, not
the cherubim, but higher than they, the
most exquisite and radiant of the heavenly
inhabitants?the seraphim. They
are called burners because they look like
fire?lips of fire, eyes of fire, feet of fire.
In addition to the features and the limbs,
which suggest a human being, there are
pinions which suggest th? lithest, tho
swiftest, the most buoyant and the most
aspiring of all unintelligent creation?a
bird. Each seraph had six wings, each
two of the wings for a different purpose.
Isaiah's dream quivers and flashes with
these pinions, now folded, now spread,
now beaten in locomotion. ' 'With twain
he covered his feet, with twain he covered
his face, and with twain ho did
fly."
The probability is that these wings
"WtTU liUb Uli uscu at tint. jLut
standing there near the throne, overwhelmed
at the insignificance of the
paths his feet had trodden as compared
with the paths trodden by the feet cf
God, and with the lameness of his loco'
* * motion amounting almost to decrepitude
as compared with the divi^fvelocity,
T^WpplKthery veil cf a^J^tncdestv
hiles the feet "With twain he tBiT
cover the feet"
Standing there, overpowered by the
overmatching splendors cf God's glory
and unable longer with the eyes to look
upon them and fishing those eyes
shaded from the insufferable glory, the
pinions gather over the countenance.
"With twain he ,did- covcr^ the face."
. Then, as God tells this seraph to go to
the farthest outpost of immensity on
3L>?"""" message of light and love and joy and
get back before the first anthem, it dees
not fake the seraph a great while to
spread himself upon the air with unimagined
celerity, one stroke of the wing
equal to 10,000 leagues of air. "With
twain he did fly. "
Humility and Imperfection.
The most practical and useful lesson
for you and me, when we see the seraph
spreading his wings over the feet, is the
lesson of humility at imperfection. The
brightest angels of God are so far beneath
God that he charges them with
folly, the seraph so far beneath God
and we so far beneath the seraph in
nnnlit Vo T>1nY?Grod 1? till.
BCi V 1VC IV VV |/AMM^VV4 ? ?.mility,
Titter and complete. Our feet,
Low laggard they have been in the divine
service! Our feet, how many missteps
they have taken! Our feet, in how
many paths of wcrldliness and folly
they have walked!
Neither God nor seraph intended to
put any dishonor upon that which-is one
of the masterpieces of Almighty God?
the human foot. Physiologist and anatomist
are overwhelmed at the wonders
of its organization. The Bridgewater
treatise, written by Sir Charles
Bell, on the wisdom and goodness of
God as illustrated in the human hand,
was a result of the $40,000 bequeathed
in the last will and testament of the
Earl of Bridgewater for the encouragement
of Christian literature. The world
^ could afford to forgive his eccentricities,
though he had two dogs seated at his
* table and though he put six dogs alone
in an equijpage drawn by four horses
^ , ?- --- -srrd'aTtende'd by two footmen.
With his large bequest inducing Sir
Charles Bell to write so valuable a book
on the wisdom of God in the structure
of the human hand, the world could afford
to forgive his oddities. And the
vtnrld rnnld now afford to have another
Earl of Bridgewater, however idiosyncratic,
if lie would induce some other
Sir Charles Bell to write a bock on the
?^ wisdom and goodness of God in the construction
of the human foot, the articulation
of its bones, the lubrication of
its joints, the gracefulness of its lines,
the ingenuity of its cartilages, the delicacy
of its veins, the rapidity of its
muscular contraction, the sensitiveness
of its nerves.
, I sound the praises of the human foot.
"With that we halt or climb or march.
It is the foundation of the physical fabric.
It is the base of a God poised column.
With it the warrior braces himself
for bat tle. With it the orator plants
himself for culogium. With it the toiler
^ reaches his work. With it the outraged
stamps his indignation, its loss an irreparable
disaster, its health an invaluable
equipment. If you want to know
its value, ask the man whose foot paralysis
hath shriveled, or machinery
hath crushed, or surgeon's knife hath
amputated. The Bible honors it. Especial
care, "Lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone," "He will not suffer
thy foot to he moved," "Thy feet shall
not stumble." Especial charge, "Keep
thy foot when thou gocst to the house
of God." "Especial peril, "Their feet
shall slide in due time." Connected
with the world's dissolution, "He shall
6et one fect on the sea and the other on
the earth.''
Wings of Humility.
Give me the history of your foot, and
I will give you the history of your lifetime.
Tell me up what steps it hath
gone, down what declivities and in
what roads and in what directions, and
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmrnmammmmmam
I will know more about yoa than 1 j
want to know, ?cue of us could en- J
Cure the scrutiny. Our fort not always j
|j paths of God, sometimes in paths of j
vorldliness. Our f<(t, a divine and j
glorious machinery for usefulness and j
work, so often making missteps, so often \
going in the wrong direction. God |
knowing every step, the patriarch say- ;
ing, "Thou settest a print on the lieels !
of my feet." Crimes of the hand, crimes
of the tongue, crimes of the eye, crimes |
of the ear not worse than crimes of the i
foot. Oh, we want the wings of humility
to cover the feet! Ought we not to
go into self abnegation before the all
searching, all scrutinizing, all trying j
eye of God? The seraphs do. How much j
more Ave? "With twain he covered me
feet."
All this talk about the dignity of human
nature is braggadocio and sin. Our
nature started at the hand of God regal,
hut it has been pauperized. There is a
well in Belgium which once had very
pure water, and it was stoutly masoned
with stone and brick, but that well afterward
became the center of the battle
of Waterloo. At the opening of the battle
the soldiers with their sabers compelled
the gardener, William von Kylsom,
to draw water cufr of the we ll for
them, and it was very pure water. But
the battle raged, and 300 dead and half
dead were flung into the well for quick
and easy burial, so that the well of refreshment
became the well of death, and
long after peoplo looked down into the
well and they saw the bleached skulls,
but no water. So the human soul was a
well of good, but the armies of sin have
fought around it and fought across it
and been slain, and it has become a
well of skeletons. Dead hopes, dead resolutions,
dead opportunities, dead ambitions.
An abandoned well unless
Christ shall reopen and purify and fill
it- as the well cf Belgium never was.
Unclean, unclean.
Irreverence.
Another seraphic posture in the text,
^ I
"?irn uvaiii lieujvch-u u?-mw. j.h"?
nie;uis reverence Gcdward. Never so
much irreverence abroad in the world
as today. Yen see it in the defaced
statuary, in the cutting cut cf figures
from fine paintings, in the chipping of
monuments for a memento, in the fact
that military guaid must stand at the
grave of Lincoln and Garfield, and that
old shade trees must be cut down for
firewood, though 50 George P. Morrises
beg the woodmen to spare the tree, and
that calls a corpse a cadaver, and that
speaks cf death at going over to the majority,
and substitutes for the reverent
terms father and mother " the old man"
and "the old woman," and finds nothing
impressive in the ruins of Baalbec
or the columns cf Karnac, and sees 110
difference in thi Sabbath from other
days except it allows more dissipation,
and reads the Bible in what is called
higher criticism, making it not the word
of God, hut a good book with some fine
things in it.
Irreverence never so much abroad.
How many take the name cf God in
vain, how many trivial things said
about the Almighty! Not willing to
have God in the world, they roll up an
idea of sentimentality and humauitarianism
and impudence and imbecility
and call it God. No wings of reverence
over the face, no taking off of shoes on
holy ground. You can tell from the
way they talk they could have made a
better world than this, and that the
God of the Bible shocks every sense of
uronrietv. They talk of the love cf God
in a way that shows you they believe it
does not make any differenj^Tiow bad a
man is here he will comeyg^^^he shining
gate. -They Gcda
' inr a way which shows you they think it
is a general jail delivery for all the
abandcncd and the scoundrelly cf the
universe. No punishment hereafter for
any wrong done herp.
The Bible gives two descriptions of
Jxcdr and they are just opposite, and
they are both true. In one place the
Bible says (led is love. In another place
the Bible says Gcd is a consuming fire.
The explanation is plain as plain can
be. God through Christ is love. God
out of Christ is fire. To win the one
and to escape the other we have enly to
throw ourselves, body, mind and soul,
into Christ's keeping. "No," says irreverence,
"I want no atonement; I
want no pardon; I want no intervention;
I will go up and face Gcd, and I
will challenge him, and I will defy
him, and I will ask him what he wants
to do with me." So the finite confronts
the Infinite; so a tack hammer tries to
break a thunderbolt; so the breath of
human nostrils defies the everlasting
God, while the hierarclis cf heaven bow
the head and bend the knee as the
King's chariot goes by, and the archangel
turns away because he cannot endure
the splendor, and the chorus of all
the empires of heaven comes in with
full diapason, "Holy, holy, holy!"
A Pressing Need.
Reverence for sham, reverence for the
old merely because it is old, reverence
for stupidity however learned, reverence
for incapacity however finely inaugurated,
I have none. But we want more
reverence for God, more reverence for
j the sacraments, more reverence for the
! Bible, more reverence for the pure,
| more reverence for the good. Reverence
| a characteristic of all great natures.
You hear it in the roll of the master
oratorios. Ycu see it in the Raphaels
and Titians and Ghirlandaios. You
study it in the architecture of thc-Aholiabs
and Christopher Wrens. Do not be
flippant about God. Do not joke about
death. Do not make fun of the Bible.
Do not deride the Eternal. The brightest
and mightiest seraph cannot look
unabashed upon him. Involuntarily the
wings come up. '' With twain he covered
his face."
Who is this God before whom the arrogant
and intractable refuse reverence?
There was on engineer by the name of
Strasicrates who was in the employ of
Alexander the Great, ahd he offered to
hew a mountain in the shape of his
master, the emperor, the enormous figure
to hold in the left hand a city of
10,000 inhabitants, while with the right
hand it was to hold a basin large enough
j to collect all the mountain torrents.
| Alexander applauded him for his ingenuity,
but forbade the enterprise because
of its costliness. Yet I have to
tell you that our King holds in one hand
all the cities of the earth, and all the
oceans, while he has the stars of heaven

He has one hammer, with which

Put two tahlespoonfuls of water in the
palm of your hand, and it will overflow,
but Isaiah indicates that Gcd puts
the Atlantic, and the Pacific, and the
Arctic, and the Antarctic, and the Mediterranean,
and the Black sea, ar.d all
the waters of the earth in the hollow of
his hand. The fingers the beach on one
side, the wrist the beach on the other.
"He holdeth the water in the hollow of
his hand."
The Blue Ribbon.
As you take a pinch of salt or powder
between ycur thumb and two fingers, so
I Isaiah indicates Gcd takes np the earth.
He measures the dust of the earth, the
original there indicating that God takes
all the dust of all the continents between
the thumb and two fingers. You
wrap around your hand a blue ribbon
five times, ten times. Ycu say it is five
kra-,,/1 it l'c fori liftTlft hrfJlfllllK.
So indicates the prophet God winds the
bine ribben of the sky around his hand.
"He nieteth out the heavens with a
span." Ycti know that balances are
made of a beam suspended in the middle,
with two basins at the extremity of
equal heft. In that way what vast lieft
has been weighed! But what are all the
balances of earthly manipulation compared
with the balances that Isaiah saw
suspended when he saw God putting
into the scales the Alps aud the Apennines
and Mount Washington and the
Sierra Nevadas? You see the earth had
to be ballasted. It would not do to have
too much weight in Europe, or too
much weight in Asia, or too much
weight in Africa or in America, so
"when God
weighed them. The__j$ihie distinctly
says so. Gcd knows the weight of the
great ranges that cress the continents,
the tens, the pounds avoirdupois, the
ounces, the grains, the millegrams?
just how much they weighed then and
just how much they weigh now. "He
weighed the mountains in scales and
the hills in a balance." Oh, what a God
to run against! Oh, what a Gcd to dis
( rw. m.
OUt_'y 1 V^D, ^1I>U 41 HJ UIOICUUI i V11|
what a Gcd to defy! The brightest, the
mightiest augel takes 120 familiarity
with God. The wings cf reverence are
lifted. "With twain he covered the
face."
Another seraphic posture in the text.
The seraph must not always stand still.
He must move, and it must be without
clumsiness. There must be celerity and
beauty in the movement. "With twain
he did fly." Correction, exhilaration.
Correction at cur slow gait, for we only
crawl in the service when we ought to
fly at the divine bidding. Exhilaration
in the fact that the soul has wings as
the seraphs have wings. What is a
wing? An instrument of locomotion.
They may not be like seraphs' wing,
they may not be like birds' wing, but
the soul has wings. God says so. "He
shall mount up on wings as eagles."
We are made in the divine image, and
Gcd has wings. The Bible says so.
"Healing in his wings." "Under the
shadow of his wings." "Under whose
wings hast thou come to trust." The
scul with folded wing now, wounded
wing, broken wing, bleeding wing,
caged wing. Aye, I have it new!*Caged
within bars of bone and under curtains
cf flesh, but one day to be free. I hear
the rustle of pinions in Seagrave's poem
which we sometimes sing:
liLe, my 60ul, and stretch thy winjrs.
I hear the rustle of pinions in Alex
ander Pope's stanza, where he says:
I mount, I fly.
O death, where is thy victory?
On Wings to Eternity.
A dying Christian not long ago cried
cut, "Wings, wings, wings!1' The air
is full of them, coming and going, coming
and going. You have seen how the
dull, sluggish chrysalid becomes the
bright butterfly; the dull and the stupid
and the lethargic turned into the alert
and the beautiful. Well, my friends, in
this world we are in the chrysalid state.
Death will unfurl the wings. Oh, if we
could ouly realize what a grand thing
it will be to get rid of this o*d clod of
the body and mount the heavens, neither
seagull nor lark nor albatross nor falcon
nor condor pitching from highest range
of Andes so buoyant or so majestic of
stroke.
fcec that eagle in the mountain nest.
It looks so sick, so ragged feathered, so
worn out and so half asleep. Is that
eagle dying? No. The ornithologist will
tell ycu it is the molting season with
that bird. Not dying, but molting.
You .ece that Christian sick and weary
and worn out and seeming about to exp"
e on what is called his deathbed. The
world says ho is dying. I say it is the
molting season for his soul?the body
dropping away, the celestial pinions
enmiiisr 011. Not dving. but molting.
Molting out of darkness and sin and
struggle into glory and into God. Why
uo you not shout? Why do you sit shivering
at the thought of death and trying
I to hold hack and wishing you could stay
i here forever, and speak of departure as
j though the subject were filled with skelj
etons and the varnish of coffins, and as
! though you preferred lame foot to swift
wing?
Oh, people of God, let us stop playing
the fool and prepare for rapturous flight.
When your soul stands on the verge of
this life, and there are vast precipices
beneath and sapphired domes above,
which way will you fly? Will you
swoop, or will you soar? Will you fly
downward, or will you 0y upward?
Everything on the wing this day bidding
us aspire. Holy Spirit 011 the wing.
Angel of the New Covenant oil the
wing. Time on the wing, Hying away
from us. Eternity on the wing, flying
toward us. Wings, wings, wings!
Live so ne ar to Christ that when you ,
are dead people standing by your lifeless
body will not soliloquize, saying:
"What a disappointment- lift was to
him! How averse he was t?i departure!
What a pity it was he had to die! What
an awful calamity!" Ilather standing
there may they see a sign more vivid
on your still face than the vestiges of
pain, something that will indicate that
it was a happy ixit, the clearance from

reverence it: life and your happiness in
death, "With twain he covered the l'e< t,
with twain ho covered the face, with

Dangers cf the Grip.
The greatest danger from La
Grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used,
however and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of
thousands who have used this remedy
lor la grippe, we have yet to learn of
a siDgle case having resulted inpneu
monia, which shows conclusively that
this remedy is a certain preventive
of that dread disease. It will effect
a permanent cure in less time than
any other treatment. The 25 and 50

It is doubtful if there is any man
who has not at some time in his life
been a hypocrite.
There can be no true and abiding
comfort and peace that is not rooted
and grounded in faith.
The man who has never used his
eyes to consider the mercies of God,
has used them to small purpose.
Turning a mad dog loose is a trifling
thing, compared to what the
devil can do with a gossiping tongue.
In the very same breath with
which Jesus said, "Let not your
heart be troubled," he also said
"Believe."
The man who refuses to walk in
the light as God gives it, has only
himself to blame for what happens
in the dark.
Do good as often as you have opportunity,
and the Lord will see'to it
that your time and talents are, well
employed.
