There arc two things which constitute the ossoikc of Gni —love and wisdom. And there are thre." which ronstihiie the essence of His love—to hue other-? out of Himself: to desire to be one with them ; and to rn.ikethem happy from Himself, Thesam.; three constitute the essence oi His wisdom : nccnusc love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. 43. The word oj God is Divine truth clothed in human rmd adapted to the varied states of the human heart, that thus a man may know God. and learn to know and do His will. "1 ( ye continue in My word, then are ye My discipU'S indeed" John viii. 31. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto jou; do ve even so unto them ; for tHs is the law and the pr.Mjhet<. .Matt. vii. 8. The Ten Commandments point out what <• : 's , are to be shunned in o;dcr that men may eternal life. " That it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if crminonly believed is evident froiv this—that when an; thir.fj presents itself that ono knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need not only think that it ou-jht 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 he is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened ; and in so tar as these are open ul iie sees what is insincere and unjust : and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, for it impossible that any evil can he shaken off until it be seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; lor who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? Hnt when lie has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not onlv to se« 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. 30 Hut it should he known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proportion as a man from tho 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 are allowable and good. Hut this occurs with tkose who i'i the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at Ihc same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and i li-ll," Xo 533, This advertisement, though containing truth for all, is especially published for the benefit of those, who from any cause do not profit by ordinary religious ministrations.
