Notices. T> 11 ACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Punusiinn roil tub Special Benefit of NonCIfURCHGOKRS. True Christian Religion, intelligently under* stood, comes not 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." Todd iii 17. Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Ago. are summarised as follows—there is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, an.l He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Evils arc to be shunned, because they are of the devil and from tho devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that thev are from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there aro thro" which constitute the essence of His love-to love others out of Himself; to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence ol His wisdom: because love'and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. (True Christian Religion, No. 43.) The word of God is Divine truth clothed in human language, and adapted to the varied states of the human heart, that thus a man may know God, and learn to know and do His will. "I'j'o continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto 5011: do ve even so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. The ten Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. "That it is not so difficult to lire the life of heaven as if ccmnionly believed is evident from this—that when anuhing presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need r.ot only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as lie is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened ; and in so 1 far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, tor it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it he seen. This is a. state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? Hut when he has made a beginning all goods arc wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see evils, but alsonot to will them, and finally to become averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, " My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matt. xi. ao Rut it should be known that the difficulty ot so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proportion 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 of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they arc allowable and good. Hut this occurs with tsose who ir. the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—(" Heaven and H-ll." N'o. 533).
