HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP

To Be Preferred. Saws Dr. Rice. To Any
other Allegiance.
A large congrega ton listened with de-
light last night to beautiful sermon on
Heavenly citizenship by the Rev Dr.
A. W Rice at the Church of the Covenant.
The basis of the discourse was Second
Philippians Goth chapter and the 9th verse.
In the text the speaker said, ''conyerSa-
ton" is translated citizenship in the Re-
viSed version. Paul is saying l was free
born and am Roman citizen. still my
higher citizenship is in heaven. I must
be controlled by the laws and principles OF
the country to which l belong, rather
than of the country through which 1 am
travelling. Heavenly citizens are pill
grims and sojourners on earth. They are
not to conform to the evil that is in the
world, but are TO be governed by the prin-
ciplcS that obtain in heaven.
The good in the world they are entitled
to ENJOY. its evils they must rennunce.
1t is great honor to be a citizen of
Heaven, and we should not disgrace our
citizenship. Treason is the greatest crime
which man can commit
1t is an honor to be a citizen of Heaven
because OF it's noble laws, because of its
ennobling feilowships, because Of tue
satisfaction it gives in the world, because
all our hopes concerning Heaven shall
be realized.
We may not be able to say what Heaven
is, but it is certainly more than state of
mind or a condition. 1t is a place, a
definite locality. We may not be able
to say where Heaven is, but the Bible rep
resents it as above US, from whence we
look for the Lord Jesus Christ. We need
not, however, speculate as TO the locality
of Heaven. Our creed may be as simple
as this: Heaven is where Christ is"
We shall be satisfied when we wake in
His likeness. when we nave come into
His prpsencen
