SANDES AND CO., .VICTOBIA-ST., HAMILTON. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. I'UULISHED FOR TUB Sl'liClAL BknEIMT OP NoNChurchgoers. Trim! Christian Religion, intelligently under- . stood, comes not. to add to men's burdens but to rniiiove.tln.nl. " For God sunt not his Son into the world to condemn tho world, but that the world tbrom'h J Jim illicit be saved." lohn 17 Its leading doctrines, adaplod to the use o this New Ago. are summari.-ed .is follows —■ There is one f.od. in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation an.! !lc is the Lc.nl le-.us Christ. Saving Kaith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of the devil and !ro:n the devil. (iood Works ought to be done, because thrvaie of God and Ir.iai God. and they oueht 10 he done bv man as of himself, but with tho belief that they are from tbeLord, operating in him by him. There arc two things which constitute the essence of God—hue and wisdom. And there are tine" which constitute the essence of His love—to love others out of Himself: to desiru to be one with them ; and to make; them happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence ol His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. 43. The word ol God is Divine truth clothed in human language, and adapted to the varied states of the human heart, that thus a man may know Gotl, and learn to know and do His will. '• Hye continue in Aly word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "There/ore 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 uillitull tu ive Ihe life ■ [ heaven as if ccmmunly believed is evident fion. 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 ho i? conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind .ire opened ; and in so far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as lie sees these evils they can be shaken off, 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 from freedom of thinking in this manner r liut when he has made a begin, ning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see. p.vils, but alsonot to will them, and finally to heconio averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, "Mv voke. is easv and My burden is light." Matt. .\i. ;>0 Hut it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proportion as a man from the wills commit evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not see tlieni, and afterwards loves them, and from the deliglit 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 Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. .'.33.
