In the First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning Rev. James Nc
Leod. -. D., delivered another OF his
series of Christian Science sermons.
His topic was what the Text Books
of Christian Science Say About the
Coming Kingdom" and he took his
text from Matthew 6; 10: "Thy king
dom come" His discourse follows:
From the beginning of Christs ministry until
its close the things pertaining to the kingdom
Of Gsd lay very close TO His heart. All His
thoughts and words and deeds had reference
either directly or indirectly TO the affairs OF
this kingdom. lie unfoded its meaning in para.
bles. and lie pictured not only its nature and ts
extent and its DURATION but also its mighty COM
quests, and its unparalleled glory.
Jesus loved Gods kingdom. and lie still loves
it. For its sake He, the eternal God. became
incarnatc and lived among men in this world
OF sin; for its sake lie toilod. and suffered, and
agonzcd and died; for its sake He triumphed
over death and the grave. and assembled to glory;
and for its sake He is now our Advocate with
the Father, nor will lie see all OF the travail of
Ills soul and he fully satisfied. until the great
voices in heaven will be heard crying: "Thc
Kingdoms Of this world are become the Kingdoms
of our Lord and Of His Christ: and lie shall
reign forever and ever" That day will surely
come, and hence we ought to give most earnest
heed 90 the words Of Jesus when he tells us
that unless We have the humble and conndng
spirit of little child we cannot enter into the
kingdom Of God.

THE KINGDOM DEFINED.

"The kingdom Of Cor and "thc kingdom o,
heaven are familiar words, and they are used
very often by the inspired writer's. They fall
very frequently from Christ'S own lips. They
are not always used in the same sense, but the
context shows their meaning: (a) BY 'thc king.
dom of heaven Is sometimes meant the Christian
dispensaton. Thus, when John the Baptist he.
gan his ministry, he said Repent, for the
kingdom Of heaven is at hand" In the same
sense our Lord at the beginning OF His ministry
used the same words. (b) Sometimes "thc king.
dom of Cod means the visible church, as for
example. in the parallels OF the net. and of the
tarcs. As Judas crept in among Christ's true
disciples so hypocrites, now and then. have
managed 10 get into the visible church, and
tares are found among the wheat. (c) Again.
''the kingdom Of Cod sometimes means the en-.
prc OF grace in the heart Of Christian When
the Pharisees asked Christ TO tell them when the
kingdom OF God should come he said: "Thc
kingdom Of God cometh not with observation,
for behold the kingdom Of God is within You"
ST. Paul uses the words in the same sense when
he says: "Thc kingdom of God is not meat and
drink, hut righteousness. and peace, and Joy in
the Holy Ghost" Cd Again. "the Kingdom Of
Cod is used as synonym for the kingdom Of
gory-that place and state which Christ has
gone to prepare for His redeemed followers. To
all such. he will say by and by: Come ye
pared for you, from the foundation OF the world"
(0 IT is only fair 10 say that some devout
Christians think and teach that "thc kingdom
OF God sometimes means an earthly and visible
Kingdom, like unto that over which David and
Solomon reigned; but which, when it shall be
established, will have Christ for its King. and
over which lie will reign for a thousand years
These Christian fricnds have this idea OF ChriSt's
kingdom chiefly in view when they pray: 'Thy
kingdom come
But as some Of us read the Riblc, this view OF
Gods kingdom seems, at best. 10 be only pious
speculation II has for its foundation the poetry
OF prophecy. and some tine figures Of speech
which these good friends interpret altogether too
literally. This is the view Of Messiah'S kingdom
10 which the Jews clung tcnaciously, and to
which the Apostles and some primitive Christians
also clung. until they were more fully cnlight-
sned by the Holy Spirit. Hence tho Apostles
asked the risen Christ this question: "Lord wilt
thou al this time restore again the Kingdom to
Israeli" In their case the wish was father to
the thought, and whether this view Of Gods
kingdom he true or false. il is ono which tho
great body Of Christian teachers and pupils have

OUR CHIEF WISH.

When we pray: "Thy kingdom come" what is
it precisely that we wish God to do? II il our
wish that thc temple and city Of Jerusalem may
soon he rebuilt. and that Jesus Christ may come
back 10 this earth and literally occupy the
throne of David that from that central point
Tie may rule in temporal way over the whole
world? There are not many OF rs, | imagine.
who have that idea and wish in mind when we
pray: "rhy kingdom come" Rather have We in
mind the larger increase and wider influence Of
Christ's church, the spread Of Christs gospel;
the spiritual and righteous authority which lie
should exercise over all mankind: we are think
ing not so much of any visible or tempered
reign Of Jesus Christ as We are Of that "king-
DOM which lis not meat and drink. but right.
cousness, and peace, and JOY in the Holy Ghost:
We are thinking of that glorious time when. be.
fore an assembled universe, lie will be crowned
"King OF Kings and Lord Of Lords"
But from whatever point Of view We look at
this phrase, "thc kingdom Of God"--whcthcr
We think Of ii as gospel dispensation, or as the
empire Of grace in Christians heart or as the
visible Church of Christ, or as the invisible
church, or as the heaven Of the holy-ii is still
'thc kingdom Of Cod" the same Kingdom only
under different aspects. And when VIZ prly,
"rhy Kingdom come" il is our wish that
Satans kingdom may be destroyed. and that
the kingdom OF grace may be advanced, and that
into this kingdom OF grace ourselves and others
may bc brought and kept. and that the kingdom
OF glory may be hastencd.

\ SPIRITUAL KINGDOM.

at it, "thc kingdom OF God" is a spiritual king.
