Gisborne. advertisement. pBACTICAL CHRISTIANITY Published fob the Special Benefit of Non-Churchgoers. True Christi,a Religion, intelligently under stood, cotr.es not to add to men’s burdens, but to remove them. “ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn tneworld, butthat the world through Him might be saved,” John iii, 17. Its ending doctrines, adapted to the nee 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 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 'eve and wisdom in God mnke 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, anti adapted to the varied states of the human het.rt, 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*ehould do unto you, do ya 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 than men may attain eternal life. “ That it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as is commonly believed, is evident from this—that when anything pres ants itself that one knows to be insincere and ,unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need 0 nly think that it ought not to be done been use it is contrary to the Divine commands. .If a man acoustoms himself so to think, ar?d from custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven, and in so far sjs he is con joined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened ; and in so far an these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in BO far as he 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 see evils, but also not to will them, and finally tn 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 evils, increase in proper;: tion as a man from the will commits evils j or in so far he becomes accustomed to them,, until at length he does not see them, an d afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that t’acy ara allowable and good. But this occurs with those who in age of adolesence 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 contain ing truth for all, is especially published for the benefit of those who from any cause do not Srofit by ordinary religious ministrations. boss who approve of the doctrines here enunciated, and who desire to assist in the work of disseminating them, are invited I to send contributions to Mr W, F, Keen, Treasurer of the Sydney Society of the J lew Church, Caraballo Street, North Shore, Sydney.
