Notices. pRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. PUELISHBD FOR THE SI'KCIAL BKHBFIT OW N«WCrurchgokrs. Tkub 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 tho world through Him might be saved. 11 Joba 17. Its leading- doctrines, adapted to the *s« this New Age, are summarised as follows—' There is one God, in wkora is a Divin* Trinity of Lore, Wisdom aad Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because tlwj are of the deri' and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because Ihey are of God and from God, and they ought to be done by raan as of himself* but with the belief that they are from the Lord, operatine in hint by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And tbero are thre* which constitute the essence of Hit love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to beonc with them ; and to make them happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence oi His wisdom ; because love and wisdom ia God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. 43. The word of God is Divine trutb clothed in human language, and adapted to the varied states of the human heart, that thus a man aiaj know God, and learn to know and do His will. "If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. SI. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto }0u: do ye 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 se difficult to live tbe life o{ heaven as if ccmmonly believed is evident froift this—that when anything presents itself that on® knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need not only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary ta the Divine commands. If a man accustoms bin* self so think, and from custom derives the habit, be is then by degrees conjoined to beaven; 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 theso evils they can be shaken off, for 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 not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? But when he lias made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see evils, but al* sonot 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 Rut it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proportion as a man from tbe 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 tbem, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. Hut this occurs wita those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 533.
