ADVERTISEMENT. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY Published fob the Sfecial Benefit or Nos-Ohubohgobbs. Tbub Christi! a Religion, intelligently under stood, comes not to add to men's burdens, but to remove theta. “ For God sent not Hie Son into the world to condemn tne 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, 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 they are of God and from God, and they ought to be dona 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 etitute the essence of His wisdom; because 'eve 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 maa 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 co 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 *a difficult to live the life ot heaven as is commonly bal'ievad, is evident from this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which hie mind is disposed, ha need only think that it ought not 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 con joined to heaven, the higher degrees ot his mind are opened : and in so far as these are opened he sees what la insincere and unjust; and in so far as fas 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 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 Bee evils, but also not to w-jll them, and finally to become averse of them. This is meant by the Lord's words, “ My yoke is easy and My burden light,” Matt. xi. 30' But it should be known that ths difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evijj, increase in proper; tion as a man from tlju will commits evils; or in so far he becomes accustomed to them, Until at length he dc<M pot see them, and afterwards loves them,, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms therjj, 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 the seme time reject Divine things from the heart. » Heave 0 and Hell," (No. 533) This advertisement, though containing truth for all, is cep ecially published for the benefit of those who from any cause do not profit by ordinary religious ministrations.
