Published i-or tub Sprcial Hhnkfit or No.vCIIUKCUGOKRS. Truk Christian Religion, intelligently understood, comes not to add to men's burdens but to remove ttem. " For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Hira michtbe saved." John 17 Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use ol this New Age. are summarised as ioliows —• There is one God, in whom is a bivine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Kvils are to be shunned, becauso they are of the devi' awd froru the dovil. Good Works ought to be -lone, because they are of 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 iti him by him. Tlicr.t arc two things which constitute the cssonne of and wisdom. And there are thrcP which constitute the essenre of His lov-c—l< love others out of Himself: todesiroto be one ••vith them ; «ind to make them h.ippyfrom Himsoli', The same three constitute the essence «t His wisdom: because love and wisdom in God mak«*. one, and love wills these things, and wisdom Accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, N r o. -UJ. 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. •*1» ye continue in JNIy word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. ttl. "Therefore all 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. y. The Ten Commandments point out what cvijs are to be s'lunncd in order that men may attain eternal life. "That it is not so difficult to ivc the life o' eaven as :F cemmonly believed is evident from this—that when anything presents itself that one 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 insincere and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, for 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 ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? ilut when he has made a beginning oil goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and Kc cause* him not only to se« uviU, but alsonot to will them, and linally to become averse to them. This is meanL bv the Lord's words, *' My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Malt. xi. oO But it should be known that the difliculty ot 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 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. Hut this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Diviuc things from the heart."—'* Heaven and Hell," No. WJ.
