'* For God scut not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him saved." John 17 Its leading doctrines adapted to the use o | ttiis New Age, are summarised as follows—' I There is one G«>d, in whom is a Divine I Trinity o' Love. Wisdom and Operation | and He. is the Lord Jesus Christ. | Saving Faith is to believe in Him. j Evils are to be shunned, because they arc of the devi'and from the devil. Good Works ought. lo be 'lone, because | they are of God and from God, and they i ought to be done? by mar. as of himself, but with the belief that tlv.-v are from the Lord, operating in bim by him. There are two things whirl) constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are three which constitute the essence of His love—to love others out of Himself: to desire to be one with them ; and to tnakethem happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence ot His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian 1 Religion, No. *Ki. ! 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. "If ye continue in My v.'ord, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 01. "Therefore ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto jou: do yo even so unto them ; for this | is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. ! The Ten Commandments point out what evils 1 are to beshuuned in order that rueu may attain eternal life. 44 That it is not so difficult lo ivc the life o r heaven iis if commonly beliovcd ii* evident frou. : this—that wheu anything presents itself that one ; knowfe to be insincere and unjust, to which his : tnind is disposed, he uecd noi only think that it | ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms bmi- , self so to think, and from custom deiives the habit, he is then by debtees conjoined to heaven ; ! and in so lar as lie is conjoined to heaven, tlie hujhei degrees oi his mind ate opened ; and i» go far as these arc opened he jeea what is insincere and unjust ; and iu sotaraii he sees these ewls they can be shaken ofi, fur it impossible that any evil cau be shahen oil until tt be seen. I bis is a stale into which a man may enter fioiu Itctdum ; for who is not capable f: om freedom o{ thinking iu this manner .• But when he has made a beginning all goods are wrought iu him by the Lord, and He causes him nut only to see. r.vili, but a!sonot to will them, aud finally to become averse to them. This is meant bv the. I.aid':, words, "My yoke is easy aud My burden i» light." Matt. xi. 30 Hut it should be kuovvn that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise o{ resisting evils, increases in proportion as a man mim the wills commit evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length ho doe#-, not see. them, and afterwards loves them, an) f mtn the delight of love excuses them, and by s,i\ j;i :u i s of fallacies confirms then), ami djclarc; f „h.u ihey a:e allowable and good.
