Notices. T)RACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. PuiII.ISHUD FOR THE Sl'l-IMAI. RbnKFIT OF NINCnUKL'XGUKKS. Tiuii! Christian Religion, inlcllijjently mulcr. stoml, cumrxnot to add lo men's burdens but to leiimve. tlnriii. " For God sent not bis Son into the world to condemn tlie world, but that tbo world through Him miulit be saved." John 17. Its Kidinfi; doctrine?, adapted to the. use this New Aye. are summarised as follows—' Then; is one God, in whom is a Divino Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is ih,- Lord |esus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Kvils arc to be shunned, because they arc of the devi' and from the devil. Good Works ouj;ht to bo done, because they arc of God and from God, and they to be dime by man as of himself, but with the belief that they are from thcLord, operating in him liv him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thre» 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 oi 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 v.-ord 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 r ye. continue in My word, then arc ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. " Therefore ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto } on: do ye even so unto them J for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. Tho 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 live the life of heaven as if commonly believed is cvidtnt. front this—that when an; thing presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his raind is disposed, he need r.ot only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary t» 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 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, lor it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is Hot capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? Hut when he has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to sen evils, but a.l- - 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 lint it should be known that the difficulty ol 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 those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as ifwithnut restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 533.
