                   Doth on Mount Zion stand,
                 And glory, glory dwelleth
                   In Immanuel's  land.
             No. VI.  The Kingdom Is Not Meat and Drink.
           It  is objected that Paul  said, "The Kingdom of God
         (s not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and
             in the Holy Ghost."  Rom.  14:17.
