oo,o;,s of the King and His kingdom
The goal of Christian effort for the
centuries. the reward of persecution OIL
the martyrs and the saints. and the
abode of bessedness that has inspired
all since the days of Jesus i'll the hesn
has been the prospect of the kinsdoh' 5
early establishment.
The center of all essentially CHRISTIAN
doctrine has been the mysteries OF
the kingdom" Preachers, publicists and
philanthropists have been seeking
earnestly during the Christian era
for the establishment of divine SO
ciety founded upon the spiritual,
scientific and social messages OF the
Christ concerning the kingdom OF Goa.
Candlish has well said that this notion
of the kingdom of God has not merely
a speculative but practical bearing !:
it is an idea that Graves to be realized
in fact. or rather. it is not merely an
idea but a great reality, which has not
in the perfecting of which mems help
and labor may and should be employed.
The Pharisees, who pressed the
Master for an answer to the question
that was interesting to all Jews. when
they were to look for the establish
ment Of Gods kingdom, did 1T in mock
ery, or else to tempt Jesus to say some
thing reasonable, so that they could
bring Him before the Roman authorities.
The hatred of the Pharisees. who. be-
cause of their lack of spiritual vision,
misread the signs. although they Were
convinced that something was in the
air had reached its climax with the
opening of our lesson. Christ did not
answer their question. because He de-
tected the lack of sincerity upon their
part. He, therefore, took up a question
that lay back of their demand. the
character of the kingdom.

Gods sanctuary in the heart is estab-
hshed when it is cleansed from sin and
unrighteousness by regeneration.
Being born again. not of corruptible
seed. but of incorruptible. by the word of
God. which liveth and abideth forever
Only by being born again can any
one attain purity In Gods sight. and
then not in the sense that he is in this
life free from impurity, but that the
righteousness of his Redeemer is imputed
to him. God looks upon him in the like
ness of Him who is the Precipitation of his
sins and the believer sees God in the
likeness of His Son.
If We had known me, We should have
known my Father also: and from hence
forth We know Him and have seen Him.

Character of Kingdom.

Although Christ repeatedly warned
His followers against trying to set a
time for the coming of that kingdom
that was foretold by Daniel. men have
tried to say when and where the king
dom would come. Jesus showed them
their folly in trying by searching to
ind out the time of the coming of the
kingdom by telling them that while
they were watching and asking when
the kingdom would come it was al
ready present among them. They

The Changed Heart.


\ pure heart is one from which odd
things are passed away" and "all things
are become new" Sinful thoughts are
put aside: pride and evil passions are
banished; love of the world displaced by
love for the things that are pure and
holy.
Such heart is not free from tempta-
tons to evil. but it has power to over
come them. 1t is conscious Of weak
nesses. frailties and infirmities, but the
prevailing thought is: Mot my will. but
Thine be done
In this trust the pure heart finds all
things working together for its good; and
its possessor so lives. that whether he
eat or drink or whatsoever he doeth, it is
all to the glory of God
The extent Of the blessedness belonging
to the pure-hearted cannot be toM or
fully understood in this life. They shall
see God" What that means the magma
ton can picture only the faintest glim-
merings
We are enchanted at beholding His
wondrous works of creation; but what
must it be to see Him and be with
Him in the unfolding of His infinite and
eternal purpose in all the worlds of His
boundleSs universe?

obeying the Truth.

Who can see God?
The pure in heart.
Who are the pure in hearto
Those who through the Son do be
lieve in God, that raised Him up from the
dead. and gave Him glory. that your
faith and hope might be in God Seeing
ye have purified your. souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned
love of the brethren, see that ye love one
another with Il pure heart fervently"
The heart is purified by obering the
truth through the Spirit. and from this
obedience arises unfeigned love for cod
and men. There is nothing so purifying
as unfeigned love. The pure in heart are
not those who never sin tfor there are
none that liveth and sinneth not, but
those who hate sin and love righteous
ness
If we say that We have no sin. we de-
ceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us. If we confess our sins. He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and 20
cleanse us from all unrighteousness''
Purity OF heart is accounted TO those
vino are conscious of their sins, but who
sincerely strive to purge themselves by
;sing the remedy God has provided for
taking away the sins of the world

Need and Means.

How is purity of heart attained:
The first requisite is to feel the need
of it. Men do not seek that for which
they feel no need. If there is no desire
for purity there will be no effort made
to gain it. A realization of the need
leads men to the means by which it may
be attained. The God-prescribed means
are prayer and faith.
ASK and 1t shall be given to you. seek
and ye shall find: knock and it shall be
opened unto YOU
God does not force purity upon any one.
He discloses the need of it and makes
known the means for gaining it.
He tells us that only the pure in heart
shall see Him and enjoy the riches of
His grace, and He offers to communicate
His own purity to every heart that will
open to receive.
The way to see God is open to all. The
natural heart is sinful and impure, but
il any one sincerely asks that it be
cleansed God will renew 1t in righteous
ness and true holiness after His own
image. and from thenceforth he will see
God
Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God"

The Pure Motive.

the motive prompting the act. Many an
act intended to injure another has result
cd in good to the one sought to be in

is good. the action is bad because the
motive behind il was evil. Unless the
motives are pure the heart cannot be

We mean that it is simple. and not mixed
with other substances. The heart. TO be

In the next world they shall see

Our views of God here are narrow.
restricted and indistinct. We see
through a glass, darkly." We are
looking at things at a distance from
US. as through telescope.
The apostle doubtless had reference
TO the imperfect mirrors of polished
metal which were placed by the
ancients at their windows.
So we see now darkly, hereafter the
things to be seen will be near and
unobscured to our eyes. We will see
God face to face if We are pure In
heart and know Him as He knows
US. He sees and knows. searches and
tries US in all our being now while we
know Him only in part Then we can
fix our eye upon Him and know Him
as He is.
Beloved now are we the sons of God
and it doth not yet appear what we
shall be; but we know that when He
shall appear we shall be like Him;
for we shall see Him as He is. And

puriteth himself. even as He is pure.

The pure in heart see God in this

seen God at any time save as the Son
hath revealed Him. In that revelation
God is seen in all His works, providences
and dispensations of grace as a loving
Father.
Before the heart is changed and puri-
fed it does not see the wisdom, power
and goodness of God. 1t sees nature. but
not natures God; but the cleansed hearts
see Him in everything, and seeing Him
are led to love. adore and praise Him.
They are continually making pleasing
discoveries of God They see Him in
the beauty of His holiness. They behold
Him in the manifestations of His grace
and fellowship toward man.
The pure in heart have visions of
God at all times and places. They see
Him at their side in the hours of sick
ness. trial and adversely. and in the
hours of health. peace and prosperity.
Blessed are they who with their
hearts see God. Though invisible to
the physical eye. the eyes of the soul
may behold Him and rejoice in His
presence and heart may have intimate
fellowship and communion with Him
Blessed are the pure in heart: for
they shall see Cod in this world.
