JpRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Published for the Special Hknkfit of Non*CffintCKGOHRS. True Christian Religion, intelligently under* ! stood, comes not to add to men's burdens but to I rumovc. them. " For God sent not bis Son into I the world to condemn the world, but that the I world throtich Him might be saved." John 17 Its leading doctrines, ndnpte.d to the use o this New Age. are summarised as follows—* There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because tbey are of the devij and Irom the devil. Good Works ought to be; done, because they arc of God and Irom God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that they arc Jroni the Lord, operating in him by him. There are tw.o things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thref* which cunsLilute the essence u! His love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence of 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 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 word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore 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 arc to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. "That it is not so difficult to ive the life c' heaven as if commonly believed is evident iron. I 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 be sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far us lie sees these evils they can be shaken off, lor it impossible that any evil can be shaken oif 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 ? J3ut when he has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see e.vijs, 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. oO Hut it should be known that the. difficulty ot 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 sec them, and afterwards loves tbcm, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. 1 •»ut this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time rcject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell."
