Notice?. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. I'um.isuKn for nut Spkcial Bkkei-it op NowCItUKCIICOKItS. Tri.'l! Christian Kelicion. intellt'srentiy understood, comes not to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God sent not bis Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John Its ioadinfr doctrines, adapted to the use this New Age. are summarised as follows — ... V ,erc ', s onc G °d. in whom is a Divine -trinity „( i,„ve, Wisdom and Operation, and Mo is llie Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Ilvils are to be shunned, because they are of the devi' and from the. devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they oupjht to be done, by man as of himself, but with the belief that they arc from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God-love and wisdom. And there are three winch constitute the essence of Hi« love—to love others out of Himself: to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happy from Himself, Ihe same three constituto the essence el 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 "I ( yc continue in My word, then are to My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. " Therefore ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto 3 ou: do ye. ever, so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Malt. vii. 8. Hie len Commandments point out what evils arc to be shunned in Older that men may attain eternal life. -~" That it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as U commonly believed is evident froiu 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, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and m so far as he is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened; and in so lar as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and mso tar as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, lor it impossible that any evil c.;in 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-? Kut 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 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." Maitxi.:.o But it should he known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resistinp evils, increases in pronoition as a man from tho will commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not soethcra,, and afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of lallacies 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 it without restraint, and at the same time reject Divmc things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell."
