Notices. J) PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. PUIIUSHF.O FOR THE SI'KCIAT. HkNRFIT Of NoNChurchgokrs. Lkub Christian Religion, intelligently nnderstood, comas not to add to men's burdens but to remove, them. 41 tor God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that th© world through Him might be saved." John Its leading doctrines, adapted to the us» of this New Age. are summarised as follows—* Hi ere is one God, in whom is a Divine Innityof Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Tesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Lvils arc to be shunned, because they are of tho devi! and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they arc 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. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there arc thrc« which constitute the essence of His love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happy from Himself, lhe 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, No. 43.

lhe 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 loarn to know and do His will. "l f ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. " Therefore all tilings whatsoever ye would that men should do unto jou: do vo eve»i so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. lhe len Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life.

" That it is not so difficult to live the life o f heaven as if cimnonly believed is evident Iron, this—that when an> thing presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to whirh 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. If a man accustoms bimself so to think, and from custom derives th« habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as lie 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 so far as he sees these erils they can be shaken off, tor it impossiole that an* evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is i state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner - J' ;i t when he has made a beginning all poods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see evils, but a), sonot to will them, and finally to become avers* to them. This is meant bv the Lord's words. •.My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matt. xi. 30 liut it should be known that tho difliculty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, 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 the.deliglit of love cxcuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they arc allowable and good. Hut this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same tiraci reject Divine things from the heart."—" Hearen and Hell." No. 533.
