some length what is meant by the
kingdom. ut is the church of Jesus
Christ" he said. There are three
relations which men may sustain to
this kingdom. There are many who
have entered into covenant relation
with Jesus Christ and have become
His disciples and so they are said
TO be in the kingdom The way
into this kingdom is by faith and
obedience. Then there are those who
are far from the kingdom Those
who are spending their time and en-
ergies in the frivolities and enormi-
ties of life. The murderer, the thief.
the adultress are all far from the
kingdom There are many others
who are not far from the kingdom,
many moral men. whose everyday
life would make these words of Je-
sus applicable to them. The young
lawyer of the text belonged to this
class. There are many ways by
which men are brought near TO the
kingdom. All great thinkers are and
have been religious men. BY moral
integrity men are brought near 10 the
kingdom. All the presidents and
judges of the supreme court of the
United States have been Christian
men. There is a vast difference be-
