Liao e grain of mustard seed —The comparison is ae. apt oue, for the kingdom of heaven Was apparently small in it beginning.

The leaven was placed In the meal, yet the parable is true to nature This parable. sets forth the permeating, „pervading, transforming power ot the grace of God. The grace of God works 'a change in the mo- tives, in the desires, in the purposes, In the affectiones ,in the pleasures, in the emotion e end in the choicee. HI.

We are to be th the kingdom and the kingdom le to be in us, It Is a, spiritual kingdom and he who enters It le a traneformed man. He is create() anew in Christ Jesus. Queetions.--(What is the kingdom of Heaven? By 'what means did Jesus show it neture? What doee the par- able of the mustard seed teach? What phase of the kingdom le illpstrated by the parable of the leaven? How is the superlative value of thp kingdom set forth? What truths are set forth I n, the parable of the net? How may one gain entrance into the kingdom? PRACTICAL SURVEY. Topic—The universality ot the king- dom. The kingdom of God is the central fact and consummation of all revela- tion. It was the design of creation, and -is the purpose and end of all the Institutions of the Old and New Testa- ments. It was reassured in the Edenic promise. By it is inea.nt the all-inclu- sae dominion of God, by the greatness of his power, displaying his majesty and glory (1 Chron. 2e: 11). Revela- tion deals particularly with the moral kingdom of God, which includes the kingdom of grace and consummates itself in the kingdom of glory. It is a kingdom of heaven manifesting itself In a world a sin—" a fountain of life gushing out, of into the desolation of death." Its design is to conform b.unian character and conduct to the divine liken*, and law expressed in Christ. It cremes into conflict with a false kingdom whose head is the "prince of this world," ruling in the hearts and governing the lives of un- regenerate Mete Jesus declares the kingdom Of God to be already pres- ent (Luke -PT: 21), though it is !erred to in the scripture as also future. It is, now In the process of development,as is clearly ta.ught In some of the .parables recorded in Matt. 13. In the ()Id Testament we have a preparatory economy, "a shadow," of this kingdom, (Heb. 10: 1). Jesus was its einbodinient and his was the per- fect ideal of human life. Through the processes of •grace he is separating unto himeelf a kingdom among. men to be established at last in visible and coniplete peefection. The king- dom. of God is universal and etgrnal He shall rule .the world in the inidst of his. enemies (Pen. 110: 2). Daniel prophesiee of a kingdom set up by the "G -ed of heaven," wide); "shall break in pieces" all nther kingdoms, end itself "shall never be destrbyea," "an everlasting kingdom" (Dan. 2: 44; 4: 3). God's moral kingdom embraces all subjects of government, Mankind Is particularly dealt with a such in the scripture. In the fall the original, divine image was defaced and man through rebellion passed maside the favor of God. Redemption discloses God's purpose and method of restora- tion. Its outerorking commenced with the separation of tut individual (Gen. 12: 1) to become the progenitor of a separate hation, to which should bel committed the promises for all nations (Rom. 4: 12), and terneah which the Promised "seer" should nine. Christ's loving saerifice of himself beeame the basis of a new eovenant, by means a which, threugh self-humiliatiOn, re- pentance and faith men become the subjects of the Spirit birth. Through this alone they enter into the kingdom svhich is "righteousness; anci peace, and joy" (Rom. 14; 17). No other way or mode of entrance is possible (Sohn 3: 5; 10: 9). The kingdom is not to be identified with the church, though the latter is the appointed agency for its advancement, it can be realized here only In part, and that according to the measere of the emancipation a the church from all' admixture with the spirit of the woad. God's kingdom will, in its progress and manifeetation, dispel the powers of darkness aed overcome the false and opposite elements. Thiel will tome to pass in eonsetmence of a great crisis, the destruction of the false kingdom end the anti-chrietian power of this world (2 These. 2; 8). Then will Satan be bend. w: tr. c. *•.
