I-ruh Christian Religion. intclli K ently under, stood, comes not to add to men's burdens but to reraow Uicm. l<„r God sunt not bis Hon into the w° r Jd to condemn the world, but that tho world through Hiin might be saved." John Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use this JScvv Age. are summarised as follows—' I here is one God, in whom is a Diviao Irinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Lvils are to be shunned, because thev are of the devil and from tho. devil Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that they are from the Lord, operating m 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 one with them ; and to make them happy from ij ivnseli, Ihe same three constitute the essence of His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. 43. Ihe 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,* T ye continue in Aly word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do untojou: do ye even so unto them : for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. \ ii. 8. The Ten Commandments point oat what evils a;e to be shunned in oider that men may attain eternal life. r " That it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if commonly believed is evident from 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 the habit, be is then by degrees conjoined to heaven: and in so far as lie is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind arc opened ; and in so tar 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. for it impossiole that any evt) can be shaken oil 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' Hi this manner ? J'ut when ho has 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 wjll them, and finally to become averse to them. Ihis is meant by the Lord's words, Aly yoke is easy and Aly burden is light." , Xl, Hut it should be known that the difiiculty of so thinking, and likewise of resistnffc evils, increases in proportion as a man from the will commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length be docs not see them, and afterwards loves tbera, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms theni. and declares that they aie. allowable >md good. Hut this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as lfwuh-.ut restrain':, and at the same time ■vje.-t 111 Vine things from the heart."-" Heaven aud l.i-'ll," So ihis advertisement, though containing truth for all, is cspeci tliy published for the benefit of thosA Who from any cau,e do not profit by ordinary religious # ministrations.
