Notices. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Published for the Special Benefit of NonChurchgohrs. True Christian Religion, intelligently understood, comfisnot to add to men'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 might be saved." John 17. Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Age. are summarised as follows— • There is one God, in whom is a Divino Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of the devil and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and tbey ought to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that they are from the Lord, operatins in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are tare" 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, The same three constitute the essence of His wisdom : because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, an.3 wisdom accomplishes them. True Christun Religion, No. 43. * The word of God is Divine truth clothed m 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. "If 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 even so unto them ; for this is the 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. "That it is not so difficult to live the life •{ heaven as if commonly believed is evident from this—that when anything presents itself that ono knows to be 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 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 are opened he sees what is insineero and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, Mr 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 ; tor 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 averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, My yoke is easy and My burden is light.' 1 Matt. xi. 30 But it should be known that the dtihculty or so thinking, and likewise of resistine evils, increases in prooortion 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 tbem, 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 the 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.
