ADVERTISEMENT. "pEACTICAL CHRISTIANITY PUBLISHED FOB THE SfeCIAL BENEFIT OF NoN-ChUBCHGOEBS, Tnux Christi; n 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, butthat 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, Wisdom and Operation, and he is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shnnned, 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 Icon stitute the essence of His wisdom; because *cve 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 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 that menjshould do unto you, do ye even bo 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 net so difficult to live the 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 his mind is disposed, he need only think that it ought net to be dons 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 eon joined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened ■ and in so far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so tar as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, for it is impossible that any evil can be shaken oft nntil 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 He causes him not only to see evils, but also not to will them, and finally to become averse of them. This is meant by tbe Lord’s words, •• My yoke is easy and My burden light,” Matt. xi. 30’ Burit should be known that ths difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increase in proper; tion as a man from the will commits evils; for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length be does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from tbe 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 adoleeence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine thincs from the heart.”—" Hekven and Hall.” (No. 538) This advertisement, thoogh containing truth fnr all, is especially published for the benefit of those who from atty causa do not profit by ordinary religious ministrations, Tbnes who approve of the doctrines hate enunciated, and who desire to assist In tbe work of disseminating them, are invited to «end contributions to Mr W.
