St’NDAY SERMON
“The Kingdom of God” was the
subject of Rev. Duane Farl ( alters
sermon last evening. The scripture
lesson was taken from the eleventh
chapter of the Gospel according to
Luke. The text from the seventeenth
chapter is found in these words: ”lhe
kingdom of God cometh not with ob
seivation; neither shall they say, Lo,
here! or There; for lo, the kingdom of
God is within you.”
“The expression, the kingdom of
God, and the kingdom of heaven.”
said Rev. Carter, “are often used as
though they meant one and the same
thing, whereas they mean different
things. The kingdom of heaven is a
place, locality unknown. while the
kingdom of God is a condition of the
very soul of man. The kingdom ot God
is here and now in the hearts ot men,
in the midst of us, anil according to
the teaching of Christ is a condition
precedent to entrance into the king
dom of heaven.
“The kingdom of God is attained
by right living conditioned by right
thinking and service to mankind, ren
dering evil to no man but justice to
all. Directions for attaining the king
dom of God are clearly set forth in the
teaching and words of Jesus. The im
pulse and strength to follow the direc
tions is obtained largely through
prayer, the sincere desire of the heart
to know and do that which is right.
u' The lesult of attaining the kingdom
of God is not estimated in dollars and
cents, but in a well rounded and per
fected character and a life devoted to
unselfish sendee to mankind.”
