IL rit;onal affairs, success can
cone cnly as politics are based on
The principles of God S kingdom.
Wise men are coming to see that, al
)ottom, the only question is the
moral question. the question of
righteousness. The only way to
eliminate bribery, and give the COM
mon people their rights, is to put
the kingdom first. Such policy
Will take the government out of the
nefarfons liquor business. 1t will
make forever impossible the pres
ence OF cabinent member at
brewers congress. 1t will fill our
legislative halls with Christians who
will do their Christian duty. 1t will
Secure the welfare Of the people as
opposed to partisan success. 1t
will make us a Chris'iaa nation in
fact.
If the kingdom co irst in bust
ness. it will solve a. jblems-thcse
of competition. of lists, of child
labor, of the rights of employer and
employee. 1t will be impossible for
men to take advantage of condi-
lions to get rich at the expense OF
the unfortunate. 1t will eliminate
every illegisimate business. Wealth
will not be the supreme thing. 1t
will become an immense busine S
asset Think what any place-Plym
outh. for example-would become if
the kingdom of God were to pre-.

kingdom of God can destroy them.
So of diseases. A modern physician
says: "Spiritual nourishment is
necessary TO overcome physical dis
ease" Every minister knows the
therapeutic value of prayer physi-
clans say that nine-tenths Of the dis
eases are d. to troubles Of the
mind The only permanent remedy
for them--yea, the only way to pre-
vent them.-is to give the kingdom
the supremacy in the life.
This is the only hope of men. To
push the kingdom is the business of
every Christian. He must put it
first in ali of his own affairs, and
press 1t upon the acceptance of
others.
