Notices T)RACTICAL CHRISTIANITY? Published for the Special Benefit of KonChukchgokrs. Tiiuk Christian Religion, intcljiffently understood, comes not to add to man'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 mifilit.be saved." John 17. Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Age. are summarised as follows—' There is one Goii, in whom is a. Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of (he devi! and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they are cf 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 are thre"> which constitute the essence of His love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to be ens with them ; .ind to make them happy from Himself, Tbe same three constitute tli«.<cnence ol His wisdom ; because love and *W»abm 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 raried 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 vjii. 31. "Therefore ail things whatsoever ye woulil that men should do unto jou: do ye even so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophiits. Matt. vii. 8. The 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 of heaven as if cemmonly believed is evident froiu this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which hij 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 heavea ; and in so far as he is conjoined to hearen, the higher degrees of his mind are opened; and in to far as these are opened he sees what ii insincere and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, ior it impossible that any evil can be shaken ofE until it be seen. Thi« is a. state into which a man may enter from freedom j for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? But when he has made abegiening all goods are wrought in him by the L»r4. and He causes him not only to see e.vils, but alsonot to will them, and finally to become avert* to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, " -My yoke is easy and My burden U light. ,l Matt. xi. 30 But it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proDortion as a man from the wills commit evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and frem the;delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as ifwithout restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 533.
