True Christi, n Religion, intelligently under stood, comes not to add to men's burdens, hut to remove them.' “ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn tne world, but that lhe world through Him might be saved.” John iii, 17. < r ■ ~ Its ending 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, Wisdom and Operation, and he is the Lord Jesus Christ. Riving 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 Hia love—to love others out nf Himself: to desire to be one with them: and to make them happy from Himself. The same three con stitute the essence of His wi-dom ; because ’ jve and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. (True Chrisrian Religion, No. 43.) The Word of God is Divine truth clothed in human language, and adapted to the varir d Mateagpf the human heart, that thus a man may knpw God, and learn to. know and do His will. “If ye continue in My word, then are ye my disciplei 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, yii.,-8. The Ten Commandments point nut what evils are to be shunned in'order that men may attain eternal lite. ” That it ia not go difficult to live the life of heaven as ia commonly believed, ia evident from this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to 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 custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven, and in so far a* he is con joined to heaven, the higher degrees at his mind are opened : and in so far aa these are opened he sees what ia insincere and unjust; and in jo far aa h* sees these evils they can be shaken off, for it is impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it is seen. This is > state into which a man may enter from freedom; for who is not capable of thinking in thia manner? But when he haa made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord; and He caniws him not only to see evils, but also not to will them, and finally to become averse of thsro. This ia meant by the Lord’s words, “My yoke is easy and My burden light,” Matt, xi 80- But it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likew.'ae of resitting evil*, increase io propor; lion as a man from the will commit* evil*; for in *o for he becomes accustomed to them, until st length he Joes not see them, and afterward* love* them, and from the delight of love excuse* them, and by all kind* of failed** confirm* them, and declare* that they are allowable and good. But ihia occur* with tho-e who in age <f adolaeence plunge into evil* aa if without restraint, and st the same time reject Divine things from the heart.”— *■ Heaven and Hall.** (No. 683) Thia advertisement, though containing truth tor all, ia especially published for the benefit at those who from any cause do not profit by ordinary religious ministrations.
