Published for the Special Benefit of NonCIIURCHGOERS. True Christian Religion, intelligently under, stood, comesnotto add to men's burdens but to remove, them. " For God sent not Ins Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John ill, Its lcadinjr doctrines, adapted to the use of 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. Savins Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of the devi! and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they :ire of God and from God, and they oiißhttobe done by man as of himseif, but with the belief that they are from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essenre of God-love and wisdom. And there are tlircs which constitute the essence oi_ «is love—to love others o»t of Himself: to demro to be one with them ; and to raakethem happy from Himself, Tho same three constitute the essence ol HU wisdom : because love and wisdom ir God make one, and love wills these thiiics, ant wisdom accomplishes them. True Christiar

Kelieion, No. 48. . Tho 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 wil.. "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 5011: do yu 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 difficult to ive the life o' heaven as if ccmnionly believed is evident fron. 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 than by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as ho if conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened j and in so far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils ;hcy 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 ? But when he has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and Ho 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 >>urden is light." Matt. xi. 30. But>t should bo 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 see them, and afterwards loves tbem, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallaciesconfirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as ifwithout restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from tne heart. — Heaven an Thh e idvertisement', though containing truth for all is especially published for the benefit of those who from any cause do not profit by ordinary religiousT ministrations.
