Twelve years aj*o, when wo tried to introduce Van lTnnten's cocoa in the Auckland market, people found the price too high, but now hardly any other cocoa is selling, for the public found out it is the purest and withal the cheapest. We prophesy that our Colombo Garden Ceylon Tea will be the Van Hnutans amongst all other teas, as it is a first-class and economical beverage.— BIIOWX, B.UtKKTT, & CO.

Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Akc arc summarised as follows—l'here is nne God, in whom is a Divine Trinity cif Love, Wisdom and Operation, and lie U the Lord |csus Christ. Savin- Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of til.! dnu) and (mm the devil. Good Wurks ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they ouj>ht to he done by man as of himself, but Willi I lie belief th.it they are from thcLord, operating in him by him. There are two tilings which constitute the essence of God—love, and wisdom. And there. arc thre.*- which constitute the essence of His love—to lo.e others out of Himself; to desire to be one with them ; and to m.ike them happyfrom Himself, The same three constitute the essence o| His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, Xo. 4J. The word of God is Divine truth clothed in human language, .-mil adapted to the varied states of thu human heart, that thus a man may know God, and learn to know and do His will. "I f ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. " Therefore all things whatsoever ye woul] that men should do unto >ou: do ye uvc'i so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. .Matt. vii. 8. The Ten Commandments point out what evils are to beshunned in order that men may attaiu "That it is not so difficult to live the life heaven as if cemmonly believed is evident from this—that when anjtliinif presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need r.ol only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. Ifa man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives the habit, he is ffien by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as he is conjoined to heaven, the hitfher decrees of his mind are opened ; and in so far 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 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 thinkingill this manner.- Hut 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." Matt. xi. ;W 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 Icnjrlh he docs not I see them, and afterwards loves them, and from the.dclijTht 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 ifwilliout restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell," Xα. 533.
