" For God sent not his Son into ' ; the world to condemn the world, but that the j J ' world through Iliin might bo saved." John iii, i - j 17 . i Jm | Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of I i this New Age, are summarised as follows—* j I There is one God, in whom is a Divine | ,i- | Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, ' j and He is tin: Lord Jesus Christ. ■ Saving Kaithis to believe in Mini. Evils are to be shunned, because they IT ; are. of the devil and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because y • they arc of God and from God, and they i j ought to be done by man as of himself, but ! with the belief that they are from the Lord, | operating 1 in him by him. 5. | There arc two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thref* which constitute the essence of His ! love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to | be one with them ; and to makethem happy from j Himself, The same three constitute the essence i | of His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in i God make one, and love wills these things, and — J 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 I know God, and learn to know and do His will, j "If ye continue in My word, then are ye My | disciples indeed." John viii, 31. '' Therefore j all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto 3ou: do ye even so unto them ; for this 1 .. is the law andjthe prophets. .Matt. vii. S. I The Ten Commandments point out what evils . '«■ are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. ! "That it is not so difficult to ive the life o f I * h caven as if commonly believed is evident fron. i * this—that when an\ thing presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his " g mind is disposed, he need not only chink that it c •ught not to be done because it is contrary to ] the Divine commands. If a man accustoms him- ] fc self so to think, and from custom derives the habit, he is than by degrees conjoined to heaven ; ] 1 and in so far as he conjoined to heaven, the 1 I higher degrees of his mind arc opened; and in so r I far as these arc opened he sees what is insincere [ and unjust: and in so far as he sees these evils i they can be shaken off, for it impossible that any 1 i evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a j j state into which a man may enter from freedom ; | < for who is not capable from freedom of thinking j k ! in this manner ? Hut when he has made a begini ning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, j and He causes him not only to see evils, but al- | ! sonot to will them, and finally to become averse j ' Ito them. This is meant by the Lord's words, j j "My yoke is easy and My burden is light." ? | Matt. xi. 30. Hut it should be known that the j difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting : evils, increases in prooortion as a man from the wills commit evils, for in so far he bccomes : accustomed to them, until at length he docs not j sec them, and afterwards loves them, and from ! the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds j of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they | are allowable and good. Mut this occurs with g I those who in the age of adolescence plunge into | evils as if without restraint, and at the same time | ' reject Divine things from tne heart."—"Heaven i • and Hell," No. 533. j 1 I This advertisement, though containing truth for -r ' | all, is especially published for the benefit of those * ; who from any cause do not profit by ordinary ( religious ministrations.
