Tki:h Christian Religion, intelligently understo:'d, comes not to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God sent nut bis Son into the world to condemn the world, hut that the world through Him mi E ht be paved." John 17 . lis leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Ago. ore summarised as follows—There is one God, in whom is a Divino Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and H.i is (he Loid |csi.s Christ. Saving K.-iith is to believe, in Him. Kvils are to he shunned, bceau.se they aie of the devil and Irom the devil. Good Wurks ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they ought l„ |,o done bv man as of himself, but with the. belief that Ihev arc from tliuLord, operating in him by hi.il. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thro" which constitute the essence of His love-to love other,- out of Himself: to desiro to be one. with them ; and to makethem happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence of flis wisdom : because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. -13. 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. "It re continue in ,Mv word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto >ou: do ye even so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. Tile Ten Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain ete-nal life. "That it is not so difficult to ive the life o f caven as if commonly believed is evident from this—that when anvthing presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, ho need .-.ot 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 insincere and unjust ; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, tor it impossible that any evil can bo shaken off until it be seen. This is a stale into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? Hut 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 Mv burden is light.'' Matt. xi. 30 lint it should be known that the difficulty oi so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in prouortion 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 hive excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. Hut 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.
