July 5-citirenship in the Kingdom Of
Heaven. Matt l6. 24-25 Mark. 8. 34-ss

Jesus came as king. The promises Of
the Word concerning the coming Of the Mes.
siah were that he should be king. He
was to be OF the lineage Of David, descend.
ant OF Israels great king. The Jews ex-
pected when he should come he would re-
store the kingdom to its former glory. ascend
the throne and reign supreme in the
earth.
Jesus taught that he came TO establish a
kingdom, but Il was TO be a spiritual king
dom. The minds OF his followers, occupied
by the thoughts OF an earthly kingdom,
could not take In his teachings In all their
force; It was only after his death and
resurrection that they understood much that
vas before mysterious to them.
This kingdom was meant not for the Jews
only, but for all the world. II was. and is,
the design Of God that the entire world shall
come under the sway OF this king; and the
commands concerning the extension OF the
kingdom take in this wide sweep.
Certain requirements have TO be met In or
der to become citizen of any government.
foreigner coming TO our shores, must
abide here certain number OF years before
he can become n citizen, entitled to all tho
rights and privileges Of citizenship, so to be-
come citizen Of Christs kingdom certain
requirements are necessary to be met and
them all the world. what these requirements
are. AZ the very beginning there must be a
denying OF self. TO become citizen OF this
country one must renounce HIS allegiance
To his native country, and pledge II 20 tho
one of which he wishes to become citizen
"No man can serve two masters so man
must renounce his allegiance 20 every other
other king than Christ. IL il this denying OF
self that stands in the way Of many becom-
ing Christians.
After one enters into citizenship something
Il required which in the Word is spoken OF
as taking up the cross" just as there are
duties required OF those who become citizens
vf "a nation, 30 there are those who become
members OF the kingdom of God-things
which ilnd their type in the bearing Of the
cross by the criminal to tho place OF execa-
ton. Whatever service God requires, is to
be performed by the citizen, even II II Is hard

Men go through much to become citizens
Of favored earthly nations, but when citizen
ship Is gained, they are very proud ot tho
fact. Paul boosted he was citizen OF mo

devotion to country, their citizenship in It.
How glad we shold be at being permitted to
become fellow citizens with the saint and
household Of God"

merely To state the fact that Mrs.
Moody has greatly aided her husband
IN his successful and useful life. He
intends to show that Mr.. Moody knows

The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken Tor Rheu-

Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache;
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation Of
having failed TO do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, thick
yellow appearance Of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the LIVER
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wTetcfed
