Rev. c. M. Woodman's Address.


In the evening the college Christian
Baptist church by Rev: Charles Mellen
Woodman of Portland.
Rev. Mr.. Woodman preached upon
the subject. 1.-THE Place of the Chris
tan Student in the Kingdom of God"
His text was "Thy Kingdom Come"
Matthew 6:10. In part he said:
"Tlis petition is one of the most
frequent upon the lips of man. Its
sweep is far greater than is often
realized It's answer calls for an &C
tiyity on the part of the petitioner
which appeals to the heroic. If the
college graduate wishes to make his
life count for the most, he cannot do
81 in a better way than by consecrat-
ing his, trained faculties first to the
offering and then to the answering.
with divine help. of this simple. but
profound prayer. Thy kingdom come
"The kingdom of God has had many
interpretations. Some have consid-
cred the church to be co-extensive
with the kingdom. This conception
has led to narrow sectarianism. and
the self ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the church
organization. In the thought OF many
the kingdom of God has been identl-
fled with heaven. This is evident in
the stress that has been put upon the
need of salvation where salvation has
been defined as making sure of hea-
ven. Still others have thoughts of
the kingdom of God as identical with
the invisible church. and the whole
conception has drifted off somewhere
in the stellar spaces like spiritual
lied air castle. Some would define
the kingdom in terms of material
istic government, which will be ush-
cred in some day, and the old world
which they believe has been growing
worse will tumble off at length into
ages. We cannot affirm that these
conventions are false. They are mad
em,ate. Each expresses a partial
truth. We live now in an age when
we can look back upon the efforts of
those who only grasped half truths.
We live now in an age when we see
something like the full round of truth,
not a mere segment. God give us a
firm grip on the larger truth which
is being revealed. All these elements
mentioned above must be taken into
account in a definition of the kingdom.
Such q full rounded conception will
shape all the relations Of men. and
all the relations between God and
man The kingdom is nothing more
and nothing less than the holiness of
God. victorious in thought and life.
1t is the realization of righteousness
in all human affairs These four con-
ceptions Of the kingdom fit together
like the four parts of perfect
sphere. When they unite they swing
before US like new world drawing

never SO prevalent. Let us catch that
spirit. There is no worthier ambition
for a college graduate. There is no
surer way to leave an enduring name
and influence. Jesus came mot to be
miristered unto but to minister"
In such service the most important
element is character The thing done
is not so important as the doer. 1t is
personality that has power The best
service one can possibly render his
generation lies in embodying the ideal.
