THE KINGDOM OF OOD
International Sunday School
Lmmb for March SI. 1941
GOLDEN TEXT: "Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven." ? Matthew 6,
10.
Umoii Taxi: Luke 4: 14-20]
Mark 4i M-Mj Luka 17. 20-Sls
Romans 14i 17.
In His teachings, Jesus spoke
very frequently of the "Kingdom
of Heaven." By word and ana
logy he sought to acquaint his
disciples with its nature, its
method of origin and growth,
and the desirability of its glori
ous advent. The term was used
to refer both to the immediate
acceptance of its principles by
individuals and to the eventual
inauguration of the golden era
when all men were included.
Jesus began using parables in
his teaching so that his hostile
critics would be handicapped in
their effort to attack him and be
cause this form of teaching, a
familiar one to the Eastern mind,
would lend itself to subsequent
contemplation by those who
heard him, when the truth hidden
therein would become known.
"Unto you is given the mys
tery of the Kingdom of God."
Jesus said to his disciples as he
began his first parable. There
fore, they would "have the re
sponsibility of sharing this reve
lation with the rest of mankind
and of making the divine truth
available to all who sought it.
Most of the heathen religions
built up a superstitious worship
by means of secret and hidden
ceremonies. The Kingdom of God
was to have none of these, for,
as Jesus said, nothing is hid or
made secret but that it should be
revealed to man. The measure
of man's reception of divine
truth is not the willingness of
deity to reveal it but the ability
of man to receive and interpret

it That is why men in different
ages have understood the pur
pose of God in different waya.
Jesus was anxious that His fol
lowers be not misled as to the
nature of His kingdom. Many
people wonder what was meant
by the term, "Kingdom of God,"
and it would probably be better
(rasped by realizing that it
means the same as the "reign of
3od," a time when the hearts of
mankind will be governed by the
eternal principles of love, right
eousness and other attributes of
the divine spirit.
Man has made great progress
towards solving the processes
of nature and science but he
lias not yet found the secret of
life. This is still locked in the
iivine mind. Jesus said that his
kingdom was as a man who
planted seed in the ground and
then went about his ordinary af
fairs. The marvelous process of
life caused the seed to sprout, to
pow and finally bear fruit So,
those who are interested in the
advancement of His kingdom can
io their best and trust in the
certain response that will come,
developing and magnifying the
growth of the kingdom.
Jesus was engaged in a world
program for all time, yet the
beginning of his movement was
extremely modest, even insigni
ficant compared to its final goal,
rhe Parable of the Mustard
Seed was to prevent disparage
ment of a small beginning. The
external growth of the church is
;xemplified by the mustard tree,
springing and growing from a
very small seed. From a few
men, with no organization, the
Christian faith has grown to in
clude 500,000,000 people, one
third of the world's population ?
a far-off goal to the twelve mod
erately trained apostles upon
whose effort the future so
largely depended.
No eye can follow the growth
of the mustard tree. So. with
Christian living, its steady quiet
irresistible influence conquers,
rhere is no necessity for pro
maiming its nature, for it will
accomplish its mission slowly,
inevitably, and without question.
This is reassuring to the faith
ful adherents of the kingdom.
As one writer has stated, the
significance of the kingdom of
God may Se seen both in the
lives of individuals and in the
impact that it makes upon the
world. The kingdom of God re
lates its members to the redemp
tive will of God. Jesus Christ
alone can bring men and women
into the kingdom, for by personal
faith in him, the believer be
comes a citizen of the kingdom
of God.
The acknowledgement of the
"reign of God" in one's life im
parts the dynamic for Christian
living. Dr. W. T. Conner has re
marked that "the will of God is
the law of the Kingdom." There
fore, obedience to God's will al
ways manifests itself in a holy
and fruitful life.
Dr. H. Ross Greet declare*,
"Literally millions of people
pray every day, 'Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth.'
For what do we pray? That God
may rule everywhere on earth
in every heart as well as in my
heart, that people everywhere
may acknowledge his authority,
that he may be the king at the
center of our being. That each
one of us may be a member of his
Realm, his Kingdom, his Family,
by surrendering our wills to him
and seeking above all things to
do what he wants done. That
each one of us may carry out his
plans, not our own."
Cherry Backs Drive
For Crippled Children
Raleigh ? Generous contribu
tions for the work of the North
Carolina League for Crippled
Children, which opens its annual
Easter Seal campaign through
out the State today, was urged
in a statement yesterday by
Governor R. Gregg Cherry.
"The league is doing one of the
most worthwhile services in our
State," Jhe Governor's statement
said. .
Medical care and educational
opportunities "were provided in
the Old North Stat* for 5,454
handicapped children last year,"
the Governor said.
"Besides these direct services
to individual children, the Lea
gue also conducted special de
monstrations in the field of edu
cation for handicapped children,"
he added.

State College Hint* to
Farm Homemakers
A large market basket provides
a handy container in whicff to
keep cleaning supplies. Soap
powder, polishes, cleaning cloths,
small brushes, and other articles
are conveniently stored in one
place.
To keep tools and nails from
rolling off the top of ? steplad
der, simply nail a strip of Inner
tube around it in a manner that
it will form a shallow tray.
It is always a shock to look at
the calendar and realize that
some friend's birthday or an
niversary has just pasted and
you have neglected to send a gift
or a card.
Here then is the solution: Be
fore tacking up a new calendar
at the first of each year, go
through and encircle in red the
dates for all the special birthdays
and anniversaries. Then as the
days and weeks and months pass,
the red circles will serve as re-'
minders and no friends will have
been forgotten.
For semi-annual freshening up,
feather pillows should be aired
on a cloudy, windy day rather
than allowed to hang in the sun.
The sun draws the natural oil
out of the feathers and destroys
their resiliency.
The bottom of the scouring
powder can will not leave rust
marks on bathroom fixtures if it
is dipped in hot parrafin.
A yearly weeding out of worn
out kitchen utensils, and other
odds and ends, will get rid of
dust collectors, save extra work
and valuable storage space. ?

Paris, 111. ? Not so long ago,
Mrs. Albert Brown, of Chrism an,
found a wallet containing money.
She left it at a newspaper office
and advertised for its owner, re
fusing to leave her name and
address, with the explanation:
"Never mind that, I don't want
a reward for I might lose my:
own pocketbook some day."!
Within a week, a police officer
found a purse and money in the
courthouse yard. He left it. at the
newspaper offifce and waived any
reward. The purse was Mrs.
Brown's. I"
