ADVERTISES! ENT. pBACTICAL CHRISTIANITY [Published fob the Special Benefit of Non-Churohgoebs. Thue 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 tne world, butthat the world through Him might be saved.” Jahn iii, 17. Its easing 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 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 ove—to love others out of Himself: to desire ola one with them: and to make them happy from Eimself. The same three con titute the er c ice of His wisdom; because ove and wisdom in God make one, and love ills these things, and wisdom accomplishea hem. (True Christian Religion, No. 43.) The Word of God is Divine truth elothed gn 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 so unto them : for this is the [law and the pro phets.” Matt, vii., 8. The Ten Commandments point out what evila are to be shunned in order that 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 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 oonjoined to heaven, and in so far as he is conjoined 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 far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, for it is impossible that any evil can be shaken oS until it is .seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capable of thinking n thia manner? But when be has made a eginning 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 the Lord's words, •' My yoke is easy and My burden light,” Matt. xi. 30* But it ebould b? known that this difficulty of bo thioking, ar.d likewise of resisting evils, increase in prop ortion as a man from the will commits e» ila ; or in so far ba becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not see them., and afterwards loves them, and from the -delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, aud declares that they are allowable and good. But thia occurs with those who in age of adolesenoe plunge into evils as it without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart.”—” Heaven and Hall.” (No. 583).
