Notices. PR ACTIO AL CHRISTIANITY. PUIILISIIKD I'OR THE SPKCIAI. HIINKI'IT OP NoNCIIUKCIIGOI'.RS. Tkl'k Christian Religion, intelligently under* stood, coni« not to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God sent not his Son into the wo-Id to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 1 7 . Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of 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 lesus Christ. .Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of the devil and Irotn the. devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they ought to he done by man as of himself, but with the belief that they arc from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of Gid—love and wisdom. And there are tlire* 1 which constitute the essence of His love—to 10.-e others out of Himself; to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happy from Himself, The same three constitute the esscncc of His wisdom : because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and 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. "K 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 cve-i so unto them ; for this is th: 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 life. "Tuat it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if commonly believed is evident frotu this—that when air thing presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need .lot 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 he is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are 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 cm be shaken off. for it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a stale into which a man may enter from freedom ; lor who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? liut when he 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, " .Mv yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matt. xi. 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proDortion 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.deiight of love excuses 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 ad->lescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 533.
