On the contrary, her mission lum heen to net as OoiI'h mouthpiece In culling iut a class to lie Joint llelrs with the Itedeeuier. Properly enough Jesus mild. "I pray not for tho world, hut fur those whom Thou hast given Me." llo loved the world. He died for tliti world. In due time, tiy 1Mb Messianic Kingdom, He will bless "nil the rami lies of tho enrtli." Hut tliu time for blessing the, world Ih not yet. !''lrHt, a special class Ih Invited to become neparate from tile world, to become nnnrtllled or net apart to !nd and 1 1 Ih fiervlce, following In the footsteps of Jesus.

Tho followers of Jesus have another Work, In addition to witnessing to the world and railing nut faithful saints to walk the narrow way. That other work Ih to "build one another up In the most holy faith." Kuril Individual f the miiictineil Utile Mock Ih nut only to "do giw. unto nil men, and 'specially to the household of faith," Imt particularly to make his own "rail ing and election suro" by personal love. eal nud loyalty. Tho Kingdom Now In Embryo. Our Lords many parables refer to Ills Clnuvti as a Kingdom class, ft 1 toy ii I Priesthood. This doe not nulli fy that lie Intended them to occupy places uf honor and distinction now. 'The Master Himself wan neither a KIiik nor a Priest on earth. Ills Is the Molchl.sedec PrloNthoiul of the Men mume Age. Then lie will also he the I rent King over all the earth, an well as the tirenl Prophet or Teacher and the Croat Jude or Killer Well did lie declare to Pilate. "My Kingdom In Hot of this Ace." (John ivlll. 3di. As Ills saintly followers nre to Blmre In Ills Kingdom, they also must wait for ItH ei:ibllslimeut. While waiting they it- to pray. "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be dime on earth, as It Is done In Heaven " Of this liny hI Priesthood the Apostle declares. "The orlit knoweth us nut." i Mre priests and kink's only from the 1 'I v 1'ie Nliniilpoint. w tilt h none are nlilu to n-rognle except the "brethren."

Nor should we for ret that all power In Heaven and In earth Is vested In the One who then shall take the Throne.

Metiiah's Kingdom Invisible. Son f the noblest uilnils bavo been repelled from faith In the Second Ad vent by the thought that an earthly Kiiieilniii with Christ and the Halnt.s In refill slate Is unreasonable. They were pii!c liK'l.t in thlukliiK' that earthly oiirt nod sttite would be beneath the ilh:nltyof Messiah mid Ills Itrlde. The Scriptures declare that Jesus left His Klory, humhled llliuself to become man. In order that lie niluht be the meat Sln-ofl'erliiK for our race. Hut the liedeenier prayed to be Klorlllrd with the Klory that lie had with the Pat her before the world was Yes: and He promised Ills Chinch.

Instead, Klve us earthly K'oi'y and merely perfection In the tlesh? Oh, no. no! We have all sadly over looked certain features of Hod's Word. Jesus did not remain poor, did not re main llesh. did not remain human. In Ills resurrection not only was llo re ceived by tho Father up where lie was Is.fore; but He w as lorUled "fnr above aucels. principalities and powers," iiiadu a "partaker of the IHvlne na ture." The promise to Ills Church Is to share Ills itlnry. Tho Apostle dis tinctly tells that In the resurrection the faithful will be "cham;ed" (1 Corinthi ans xv, 51, r.'J) and made like the gh rllled Itedeeuier, and also of tho I'lvlno nature. (II Peter 1, i.) The Apontle explains the necessity for this change, saying. "Flesh and blond rannot Inherit the Kingdom of lod."-I Cor. it, ft. How slow we have been to see that (iod never purposed that either Jesus or Ills faithful Fleet should remain In the llesh! A few Illblo stiitements Mis understood Kt us Into dlllli'iilty. Wo lead, "Fvery eye shall sec lllm," nnd forgot that there are eyes of uniler stamlliiK. ii h well as natural eyes. We foiKot that Jesus declares that very few now see or hear-only the saintly, whose eyes of iinderstandlnK have be4u .iicned by the anolntlm; of tiie Holy Spirit. We forisot that Jesus said also, "Vet a little while and the world neetli Me no mole" When once wo discern thai lie has been clorllletl-that He has been ;leu a spirit nature aaln, that lie no louder has the human na ture, which He mirrendered as n Sin Sarrlllce. then we can see why the world will see lllm no more, nnd why the llitirch tiuist be chunked by resur re. tloii power before she pun see Illiu. We uilsniiilcrsbHMl our I'rd s umul fesiatl.ms afier lesiirns-tlou. Vuless lie could establish the fallh of Ills disciples III Ills resurrection, they pould not nselve the Pentivostnl blessing. Therefore He spent with them forty days, watchliu; over them, appearing In various forms, ns a gardener, a a traveler, etc., all to convince them, first, that lie was no longer dead, but risen, and second, that He was no liincer n man. but a Spirit Being. He dctnoiistratisl this by doing exuetly hat the angels did As they appeared in the t'esh. ate. talked and vnnlshotl. so did He Then lie ascended up on tiisli. not Hs n human Mug, "n little lower than the angels." but as a Divine Spirit far alsne lintels.

Thus He would come again nnd receive them unto Himself lirst the sleeping ones, nnd snbseipient ly those alive and remaining, who would experience the resurrection change In the moment of death.

Ills Mroaif'i-llis prrnrnre. The world Ih not to know of tho time of His I'nnmtni. On the contrary, It is described as secret, hid den from the world-"ns a thief In the night." Jesus dcscrlls'd IliH I'lirnusn, saying that at that time the world would be eating, drinking, planting, building, ninl know not of Ills coming In the Harvest of the Age. even as the world was eating, drinking, planting, building and marrying In the days of Noah, "and knew not." The Intima tion Is, however, that some of God's people would be made aware of Ills I'liniUKin- the Wise Virgins, while others of Cod's people, the "foolish virgins," would be "overcharged with the pares of this life," nnd know not Revealed In Flaming Fir. If, then, only the Church may know of the I'uruunia of Jesus In Its time, until they shall be changed to the heavenly, Idvlne nature, how will the world ever know of Jesus and Ills Kingdom? If Ilu really meant it when He said. "A little while nnd the world seeth Me no more," how can humanity know ubotit tho new, Invisible King dom? The Hlble answers most distinctly. It tells us of the shining forth or ff.iAiiHi(i of the Lord's Kingdom. It tells of Ills HinAiiisis manifestation or revenlment "He shall be revealed In flaming tire." This tlamlng tire Big nllles severe Judgments, ns elsewhere. These are to he so severe that the elements of earth's society will melt with tho fervency of the bent In a terrible time of trouble. Additionally "the heavens," the eeclestlastical sy terns, will he Involved, nnd pass away with a great noise or commotion. It la from this revealing In flaming fire. Divine censure upon tho world, that the great, the high, the mighty, the poor, all shall seek to "hide themselves In the dens and caves of tho earth" Id tho social Orders nnd In affiliation with strong governments, etc. Gradually mankind will come to understand. Gradually their eyes will open nnd they will see that it Is "the wrath of the Lamb" that causes the "time of trouble such ns never was sluce there was a nation." The plow share of trouble will go so deep that the world will effectually learn the In tended lesson. Their eyes opeulng to the truth of the sltuntlon, they will lenni war no more. They will "bent their spears Into pruning hooks, ami their swords Into plowshares." As their eyes of understanding open still inure widely, they will discern the beauties and blessings of Messiah's Kingdom, "the desire of all nations." l inler Messiah s Kingdom. Israel will return from the cast (iff condition In which she has U-en during the selec tion of "the very Fleet."

The first work of Messiah's Kingdom will be the binding of Satan, the sHlllng of whose pnwer Indicates the deliverance of humanity from the bondage of sin. Ignorance, superstition and death. One of our great obstacles In tb past has been that we failed to discern i that God has been prosecuting two dis tinct salvations: first, that of the Church, to the spiritual, heavenly, 1)1 Tlne nature; and later, through the FIts't Church, salvation must l ex tended to humanity, the non-elect.
