on some matters connected with human
interests. SO when the young man
turned loose his gospel maxim he raised
storm OF criticism and the official
board Of tho church as much as says
his calling is more 10 pillow corn than to
preach Christ. Coutlar went 30 far as
TO define the Kingdom as spiritual
kingdom that had something to do with
character, and that has made tho clerk Of
the church hot, as he had an idea that
the Kingdom Of Christ was something
like the Republican party under Mark
Hanna. Coulter refuses TO retreat, and
says no preached the same sermon in
the Howard street Methodist church at
Frisco aud II went down like fried trout,
bones and all, His sermon was on the
text, "In my fathers house are many
mansions. / go to prepare place Tor
you" He says we are Gods house.
The heavenly mansion is our character.
Christ went away from the outer man
TO prepare an inner character, in which
he and God are represented as one and
"where / am there ye may be aiso."
Heaven he would have them understand
was not In any particular quarter section
OF the celestial map, nor was II
In an old jew town with golden streets,
nor In = barn. Christ went to prepare
place in spirit. Now hear Coulter;
"To us the unreal is real the real is un.
real. Heaven we are told is the abode
OF Christ, but Christ lives In us and
said, Il go to prepare a place for you,
and like Thomas we cry, Where, LORD,
where7' And he says. Il am the Way,
the Truth, the Life Where did Jesus
go9 Why 10 Heaven. Where ia heaven?
He said, The Kingdom OF Heaven ID
within you, and is your character.
Where did he go2 lie went into the In
neF life. Where is he now2 Preparing
