Notices. v 13RACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Published tor the Spkciai. Rrnefit or N»nCIIUKCUGOEKS. Trl'e Christian Religion, intelligently under* stood, i nines not to add to men's burdens but te remove, them. " Kor God sent not his Son inte i'a> Aurld to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John, 17. J Its lea.ling doctrines, adapted to the us* this New Age. are summarised as follows — There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of the devil and from the 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, bat with the belief that they are from the Lord, operating- in him by 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 I ot 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 mar know God. and learn to know and do His will. "I f ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto jou: do ye even so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. The fen Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. " That it is not so difheu It to live the life of heaven as if ccmmonly believed is evident frotu'' this—that when anything presents itself that one 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 to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives tho 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. tor it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from frecdem ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? Jiut when he has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see evils, but alsonot to \vill them, and finally to become averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, " Jly yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matt. xi. 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in prooortion as a man from the, will commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does net see them, and afterwards loves tbem, 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 witn those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine thimrs from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 533.
