CITIZENSHIP IN THE KINGDOM.


of Life.
The Railway Y. M. c. AS Tuesday
Club was largely attended and the ad
dress OF DR.. w. Z. Hutchinson. of
Highland Park Presbyterian Church.
on Citizenship In the Kingdom was
a strong and lucid exposition OF the
fundamentals of religion as laid down
by the Saviour In His Sermon on the
Mount
The speaker called special attention
to the lack of particularization on the
part OF the sermon with reference to
forms OF worship or actions. and to
the great stress which He laid upon
the fundamentals OF righteous living.
For example: He didn't particularly
stress church-going. or priestly offer
:ngs or Sabbath observance-not that
he regarded these things as i'm
material, but sought to inculcate the
principles of righteousness which
would result in proper compliance with
the duties of service and all other
obligations embraced In His Divine
Code.
DIR. Hutchinson paid special atten-
ton to the three duties OF aims
giving. prayer and fasting. In this his
third lecture Of the series. Aimsgiving.
as contemplated in the Saviour's adj
nomnition not TO give aims to be seen
scope of service for our fellowmen;
not simply the giving of a nickel TO a
beggar nor yet the donation OF q large
monetary sum for a good purpose. and
a crouch because we get no credit
for it
Prayer Is the whole spiritual aspira-
ton upward to God--the hearts rever-
entail cry unto the loving Father OF all
mercies and the God OF ali grace. IL
is not to be found in making an adj
dress in the guise OF prayer, nor
aiming a condemnation at some one
Prayer must be sincere and devout
and Is the Christians vital breath.
Fasting doesn't mean simply absttn-
ence from food and drink, but 1t Is
essentially disciplining of ourselves
whereby the spiritual side OF our ma
ture Is given a larger and better at
mosphere. Introspection and serious
meditation, unhampered by the
grosser and even necessary things. Is
very profita BILE unto edification OF the
spiritual man And It Is the spiritual
man that has the royal requisites of
citizen in the Kingdom Of God.
The address was listened to with
rapt attention. and the speaker was
warmly thanked for his services
