[advertisement.] JpRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY PSBLISHKD FOB THE SPECIAL BENEFIT OF Non-Churohgoebs. Tbue Christian Religion, intelligently under stood, comes not to add to men’s burdens, but to remove them. “ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn tne world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John iii, 17. 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 Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of the devil and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because I they are of God and from God, and they I ought to be done by man as of himself, but I with the belief that they are from the Lord, I operating in him by him. ■There are two things which' constitute the Bssence of God—love and wisdom. And there ■ire three which constitute the essence of His Bove—to love others out of Himself: to desire Bo be one with them: and to make them Biappy from Himself. The same three constitute the essence of His wisdom ; because Bove and wisdom in God make one, and love Brills these things, and wisdom accomplishes Bhem. (True Christian Religion, No. 43.) I The Word of God is Divine truth clothed Bn 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 Itbat men should do unto you, do ye even so lunto them : for this is the law and the pro* Iphets.” Matt, vii., 8. I The Ten Commandments point out what levils are to be shunned in order that men may lattain eternal life. I “ That it is not so difficult to live the life lot heaven as is commonly believed, is evident ■ from this—that when anything presentsitself ■ that one knows to be inaincere and unjust, to I which his mind is disposed, he need 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 oustom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven; and in so far as he is con-

joined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened ; and in so far as these are opened he sees what ie insincere and unjust: and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, for it is 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 of 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 see evils, but also not to will them, and finally to become averse to them. This is meant by the Lord’s words, “ My yoke is easy and My buris light.” Matt. xi. 80. But it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increase in proportion as a man from the will commits evils; for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, nntil at length he does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But this occurs with those who in age of adolesence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at tbe same time reject Divine things from the heart.
