Notices. pRACTICAL OEIRISTIANITY. I'UULISHKU KOR TUB SIUCCIAL BENEFIT OF NoNCHUKCHGOKHS. Tun-: Christian Religion, intelligently under* stood, conies 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 the world through Him might be saved." John 17. Its loading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Age. arc summarised as follows—• There is one God, in whom is a. Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and Htf is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils arc to be shunned, becausc they are of the devil and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, bccause 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 thcLord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the cssenrc of God—love and wisdom. And there are thre" which constitute the essence of His low —-to love others out of Himself: to desire to be one with them ; and to makethem happy from Himself, The same threw constitute the essence ol His wisdom : becausc love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. J The word of God is Divine truth clothed in human language, -md 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' ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do unl»» >ou: do veeve.M 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 lite. " That it is not so difficult to live the life heaven as if crmmonly believed is evident from this — that when anything presents itself that one know* to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he. need r.ot only think that it : ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. Jfa man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives the I 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 are opened ; and in so far as those are opened ho sees what is insincere and unjust ; and in so tar as lie 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 freedom ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner r Hut when lie 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 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. 3*o Hut it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proportion as a man from tho 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 them, and by all kinds of fallacies 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 ifwithout restraint, and at the same tima reject Divine tilings from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 030.
