@(\$1 est of blessings. Two thoughts
phatically suggested by the text. First
''What is Gods Kingdom" and second 'What is it to
be not far from it?''
The expression, ''kngdom of God' is used in three
in the New Testament. Simetimes 'kingdom of
God' means heaven, the upper kingdom; sometimes it
means the church, the visible kingdom eart and
it means the right disposition the graces of the Holy
SPIRIT such as 'Ove peace, patience meekness tenn

If one has this kingdom in this latter sensehas it with

Without the kingdom within the heart come
into the heavenly kingdom. This is really what all men,

The second question suggested by the text is Wiat is
it to be near Gods kngdom?'
This may be answered by: We Gods kingdom

to put its precepts into daily lives.
Again, Gods kingdom when Christian peo-

Still again. Gods kingdom when the Holy
Spirit is striving with AS when feel like crying

God kingdom is not something afar off, away in the

God, that he may do for what greatly need to

Children born today will gen.
orally be upright and loyal, but
often suffer from overWork or

learn to live simple, calm
