CHRIST'S KINGDOM.

By N. W. Vincent

LITTLE did the Jews realize what a king they had in their midst. He was among them as one that ministered, in the form of a servant, poor, often suffering hunger, thirst, and weariness. Little did those who pressed into his head the platted thorns imagine the beauty of that crown which our King of Glory is soon to wear. His kingdom was not of this world, and the princes of earth set him at naught. They crucified the King of kings and Lord of lords.

The time approaches when Christ is to deliver up to the Father his universal and mediatorial reign, and receive of him dominion and glory and his promised everlasting kingdom. 1 Cor. 15:24; Dan. 7:

14. Then will he come to gather the subjects of his kingdom. Reader, will you be one of them? Yes, if you overcome, if you esteem reproach for him a treasure, and walk in his steps; for he always did those things which pleased God. Though hated by the world, be of good cheer; your crown is certain. You will make one of their number who shall take the kingdom. Oh, what a joy is set before the humblest saint! Brethren, let us be faithful. N. W. VINCENT.
