Notices. pRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. i Published for tur Special Bhkrfit of Non- » Churchgoers. i True Christian Religion, intelligently under* I stood, comes not to add to men's burdens but to [ remove them. " For God sent not his Son into the worJd to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John * 17. I Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use : 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 Tesus Christ. 3 Saving Faith is to believe in Him. ? Evils arc to be shunned, bccausc they are of the devi) and from the devil. 3 Good Works ought to be done, because 3 they are of God and from God, and they \ ought to be done by man as of himself, but ' with the belief that they are from the Lord, operating- in him''by him. l There are two things which constitute the 1 essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thrcn which constitute the essence of His J 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 \ of His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in ' God make one, and love wills these things, and 9 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 may know God, and learn to know and do His will. I "If ye continue in My word, then are ye My 1 disciplcs indeed." John viii. 31, " Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should J do unto 3 ou: do ye even so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. r The Ten Commandments point out what evils a are to be shunned in order tnat men may attain eternal life. 3 "That it is not so difficult to live the life of 1 heaven as if common !y believed is evident from » this—that when anything presents itself that one ■ knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his 3 mind is disposed,, he need not only think that it l ought not to be done because it is contrary to 9 the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives tho j* habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; 1 and in so far as he is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind arc opened ; and in so far as these arc opened he sees what is insincere ' and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, ior it impossiole that any 7 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 ? Hut when he has made a beginr ning all goods arc wrought in him by the Lord, [ and He causes him not only to se« e.vils, but alt sonot to will them, and finally to bccome averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, > "My yoke is easy and My burden U light." f Matt. xi. tfO But it should be known that the L< difficulty ot so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proportion as a man from tho 1 will commits evils, for in so far he becomes f accustomed to them, until at length be does not . see them, and afterwards loves them, and from thc.dclight of love cxcuscs them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they * arc allowable and good. Hut this occurs with 1 those who in the age of adolescence plunge into j evils as ifwithout restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven j and Hell," No. 533. 3 This advertisement, though containing truth for all, iscspcciilly published for the benefit of those, who from any cause do not profit by ordinary religious ministrations.
