Notices. T>RACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Published for tub Special Benbfit of Not*Churchgoers. True Christian Religion, intelligently under* stood, comes not to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God seat not his Son into the world to condemn tho world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Ago. are summarised as follows —■ There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Lovo, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to he shunned, because they are of the devi! and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, becaufe they are of God and from God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that they aro from the Lord, operating , in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And tbore are thren which constitute the csseDce of Mis lovo—to love others out of Himself: to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happyjipm Himself, The same three constitute the esjeeeo ot His wisdom ; because love and wisdom ia God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Chriitiu Religion, No. 43. The word of God is Divine truth clothed _i« human language, and adapted to the varied states of the human heart, that thus a man nay know God, and learn to know and do His will. '■ If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. " Thereto™ all things whatsoever ye would that men sheuld do unto ;ou: do yooven so unto them ; for thn is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. The Ten Commandments point out what evils aro 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 commonly believed i> evident from this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to "r.e 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 te the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives tho habit, he is thon by degrees conjoined to heaves ; and in so far as he is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened; and in io far as these are openod he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as ho sees these evfli they can be shaken off, for it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This te a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? But 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 averao to them. This is meant by tho Lord's words, "My yoko is easy and My burden ii light. Matt. xi. 30 But it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resitting evils, increases in proportion as a man from the wills commit evils, for in so far he become* accustomed to them, until at length he does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from 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 tho age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." . No. 533.
