" For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that tho world through Him misjht be saved." John Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Age. are summarised as follows— , l'hero is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is Ihe Lord Jesus Christ. .Saying Faith is to believe in Him. J'jvils ;ir<* to be sbu nned, because they are of the devi< and from the devil. Ciood Works ought to be done, because they are «f 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 liim. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And ihcre are thre* which constitute the essence of His love—to love others nut of Himself; to desire to boono with them ; Jmi to make them happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence ol His wisdom : because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them.

The word of God is Divine truth clothed in human language, and adapted to the varied states of tho human heart, that thus a man may know God. and loam to know and do His will. "1' 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 eve'i so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. The Ten Commandments point out what evils are. to bo shunned in order that men may attain eternal lire. "That it is not so difficult to live the life of hsaven as if ccmtnmily believed is evident from this—that when an; thins 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 in so far as ho is conjoined to heaven, the higher decrees of his mind are opened ; and in so far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in sn far as he sees these evils they cm be shaken off, Inr it impossiule 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 ■ Hut when ho has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by tho Lord, and He causes him not only to set*, 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. 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty ol so thinking, and likewise of resisting e.ils, increases in proportion as a man from the 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 tluvlelight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms then,, and declares that they arc allowable and good. Hut this occurs with thos-e who in tho age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine thinsja from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 533.
