Notices. pRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Punusmtn for tub Spkciaj. Bkkkfit of NonChukchgokrs. 1 kuk Christian Religion, intelligently under* stood, conn'snot to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God sent, not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John iii Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Age, are summarised as follows—' ' ,T'l crc ,s onc ' n whom is a Divino Irinityof Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is th.r Lord Tesus Christ. ? Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils arc to be shunned, because they ' are of the devi? and from tho devil. r Good Works ought to be done, because they arc of God and from God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, but with (lie belief that they arc from the Lord, i operating in him by him. [ There arc two tilings the . essence of God—love and wtnQpc And there are thro* which constitute the essence of His love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to l be one with them ; and to tnakethem happy from j Himself, The same three constitute the essence oj His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and * wisdom accomplishes them. (True Christian Religion, No. J3.) p Ihe word ol God is Divine truth clothcd in human language, and adapted to the varied ' states of (he human heart, that thus a man may ' know God, and learn to know and do His will. • continue in My word, then are yo My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore .ill things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto jou: do ye eve'i so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. The Ten Commandments point out what evilf are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. - " lhat it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if csm nonly believed is evident from • this—that when anything presents itself that one I know.si to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, lie need not only think that it . ought not to be done because it is contrary to ' the Divine commnnds. If a man accustoms him- > self so to think, and from custom derives the > habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; , and in so far as he is conjoined to heaven, the I higher degrees of his mind are opened; and in so far as these arc opened he sees what is insincere i and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils [ they can be shaken off, for it impossible that any r evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a ' state into which a man may enter from freedom J for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner } Hut when lie has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to se« evils, but al- ' so not to will them, and finally to become averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, ( yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matt. xi. 30 Rut tt should be known that the ' difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting ) evils, increases inptoportion as a.man from the will commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not * see them, and afterwards loves them, and from [ the delight of love excuses; them, and by all kinds r of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But this occurs with ' those who in the age of adolescence plunge into t evils as if without restraint, and at the same time r reject Divine things from the heart."—(" Heaven ' and li-11," No. 533).
