Published for the Special Benefit of NonChurchgohrs. Truk Christian Religion, intelligently understood, comrs not to add to men's burdens but to remove, them. " For God sent not h.s Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John in, Its leading 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 Jusus Christ. Savins Faith is to believe m Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they arc of the devi! and from tho devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that they are from the Lord, operating in him by him. _ There are tw« things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thre* which constitute the essence of His W-tolove others out of Himself: to desira to be one with them ; and to mate them happy from • Him.vlf, The samo three constitute the essence ol His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them, lrue Christian K^he i 0i 5 Divine truth clothed in human language, and adapted to tho varied "taVe "of thl human heart, that thus a man may know God, and learn to know and His "ill. "If ve continue in My word, then arn ye My disciples indeed." John vm. 31. '•Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto \ou: do ye even so unto them ; for this » the law and'the prophets. Matt. vn. 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* fceaven as if commonly 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 oucht 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 he sees what is insincere anduniust; and in so far as he sees these evils ihev can be shaken off, ior 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 j for who is not capable from freedom oi thinking in this manner ? But when he has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to se« evils, but alsonottowill them, and finally to become averse to them. This is meant by the Lord s words "My yoke « easy and My hurden is light." Matt xi 30. But it should be known that the difficulty ot so thinking, and likewise of resisting e«ls, increases in proportion as a man trom the wills commit evils, for in so far he becomes accustbmed to them, until at length he does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallaciesconfirms them, and declares that thej are allowable and good. But this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reiect Divine things from tne heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 553. . .
