“Christ came to found His kingdom. He preached the laws to His people. He taught them to pray for it: ‘Thy kingdom come.’ And He told His chosen few to ‘go and preach the Gospel of the kingdom.’ He founded His kingdom in their hearts, and He reigned there. He will still found His kingdom in our hearts. He will come and reign as King. The kingdom was first founded by the sea of Galilee. ‘Follow Me,’ said our Lord to Andrew, and from that moment the kingdom was founded in Andrew’s heart. Then there were Peter, James, John, Phillip (_sic_), Nathaniel (_sic_), and the kingdom grew. From that moment Christ never stopped His work for the kingdom—preaching and teaching, healing and comforting, proclaiming the laws of the kingdom. ‘Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.’ ‘One jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law.’ ‘Whosoever shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, the same shall be called the least in the kingdom.’ No commandment was to pass from the law, but there was a new commandment, a new law, and that was ‘love.’ ‘Love your enemies.’ The Pharisees could not understand it. ‘Love your friends, and hate your enemies,’ was their law. But Jesus said, ‘Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that despitefully use you.’ ‘Give, hoping for nothing in return’; and, ‘Whosoever shall smite thee on one cheek turn to him the other also.’ Christ’s law is the love which ‘suffereth long and is kind ... seeketh not her own ... never faileth ... hopeth all things, endureth all things’; and ‘now abideth faith, hope, and charity, these three, but the greatest of these is—love.’” _Q._ Explain ‘English Funds, Consols 2¾ per cent., 113.’ And give an account of the South Sea Bubble.
