KINGDOM OF GOD IS
SUBJECT OF SERMON
AT REVIVAL MEETING
REV. HUBBELL GIVES UPLLFT'
ING TALK At 'ss';;;sss. ~--RISTI-
AN CHURCH.

The subject Of Mr.. Hubbelrs ser
mon last night at the Christian
church was, The Kingdom Of God"
He said:
The Kingdom of God is not meas
ured by weight, measure or distance.
1t is not confined to state, nation
ality or country. Jesus came to the
Jewish people only but when they re-
fused to accept of Him, He sent forth
His disciples with this commission;
Go We into all the world and preach
the Gospel to every creature. He
that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved, He that believeth not shall
be condemned"
God was the great lawgiver Of the
Kingdom of Heaven, but when Christ
came He said; IAN authority has been
given unto Me both in heaven and on
EARTH Sin makes man an alien
from God, obedience to Gods law
makes us subject Of His. When a
man leaves one country and sub
scribes to the government of another
he becomes an inhabitant of that
kingdom, and subject of that coun.
try.
So with a man who leaves the king
dom of darkness and sin and accepts
Of Gods mercy and pardon he then
becomes a subject or a member Of
the Kingdom Of Heaven.
Jesus became the door whereby all
Of us who are alien to God might
come into the kingdom Of heaven. He
says Il am the way, the truth and the
light" Unless we believe on Him and
obey Him, there is no other way given
for us to enter into the Kingdom of
God.
Tonight Mr.. Hubbell will continue
the above theme from the standpoint
Of being Near to the Kingdom
Mr. w. E. Gray will sing solo to.
