True Christi a 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 the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John iii, 17. Its eading doctrines, adapted to the use of his New Age, are summarised as follows: There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wiedom 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 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 two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are three which constitute the essence of 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 con stitute 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 varird 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 you, do ye 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 live tbe life of heaven as is commonly believed, is evident from this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which bis mind is disposed, he need only think that it ought not to be done because it is. contrary to the Divine commands. X! a man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives tbe habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven, and in so far as ha ia eon joined to heaven, tha higher degrees of his mind arc opened i and in so far as these are opened he sees what ia insincere and unjust; and in so far as ba tees these evils they can he shaken off, for it is impossible that any evil can be sbektsn off until It is 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 Ha causes him not only to see evils, but also not to will them, and finally to become averse of them. This is meant by the Lord's words, “ My yoke is easy and My burden light,” Mutt, gi. 80' But it should be knotAi that ths difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increase in proper; tion as a man from ths will commits evils for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does nut eea them, and afterwards loves them, and from ths delight of love excuses them, and by all ki n <l 6 of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But this occurs with those who in age of adolesenoe plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—” Heaven and Hell,” (No. 533) This advertisement, though containing truth for all, is especially published for the benefit of those who from any cause do not profit by ordinary religious ministrations.
