PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. I'UIILISIIKD TOR TIM! SPECIAL I'.ENIiIIT OF NoNCIIUKCIIUOKKS. Tia-r. Christian Religion. intelligently understood, comes not to adil to men's burdens but to remove them. " I' , or God sent not his .Son into tin: world to contain the world, but that the world through Him might be; saved." John Its leading doctrines, adapted to t!,c use ol tUis New Age. are summarised as follows —• There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation and He is tli.! Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Kvils are to be shunned, because they are of the: devi' avd from the devil. Good Works ought to bo done, because they are of God and from God. ami they oii(fht to he dune by man as ol himself, but with thi! belief that they are from the Lord operating in him by him. There arc two things which constitute the cssenri! of God-love and wisdom. And there are time- which constitute the essence ~f Hi love—to love others out of Himself: to desiro to be one with them ; .mil to maketheni happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence ol His wisdom : because love and wisdom in Go,! make one, and love wills these tiling, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian KeliKion, No. 4». The word of God is Divine truth clothed in human lani.'im-e, 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. '•I'ye continue in .My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." [ulin viii. 31. •• Therefore ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do nr.tii )ou: do ye evc'i so unto them ; tor this is the law and the pr.ipli;:i>-. .Matt. vii. S. The Ten Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain "Thai it is not so diflicull l<; ive the life n' caven as if crmraonly believed is evident fron. thw —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 himsell so to think, and from custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as he i.« conjoined to heaven, the higher decrees ol 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 oft, lor 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 fron, freedom of thinking in this manner ? Hut when he has made a beginning all poods 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." .Matt. xi. 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in pronortion 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 conlirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. Hut this occurs with those who in the ajje of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven Hid Hell," Xo. 53a.
