Dr. Chas. 'F. Aked captured the at" tention of a largo audience this morning morn-ing at Chautauqua park, by his scholarly and lucid explanations of the words, "Thy Kingdom Come," in the Lord's prayer At the close ot his address, the eminent speaker started an innovation, seldom seen at public lectures, by holding a quiz class to Eink deeper into the minds of his hearers the great truths upon which he had lectured. "The Kingdom of God," said Dr. Aked, "Is the kingdom of love, goodness, good-ness, righteousness and peace, and where men love God and their fellow men. "God has a subject In 'every man who loves Him above all things and who carries this love of the Creator into hearts of men and h6mes." Proceeding in his discourse, Dr. Aked said that the Kingdom of God, such as meant by Jesus Christ, couln be formed on earth among men, where goodness, righteousness and peace reigned supremo; that Jesus Christ died to bring about these conditions, con-ditions, which are growing more and more in the world today. He strongly impressed the idea that a good Christian should always take an active and keen part In directing the civic and state affairs of the locality lo-cality in which he resides. His every thought should be to bring-about conditions con-ditions that would in part portray the kingdom such as Christ Himself desires. Lecture on Gladstone.
