ADVERTISEMENT. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY Published fob the Special Benefit or Non-Chvrohgoebs. Tote Christi, a Religion, intelligently under tood, comes not to add to men’s burdens, but to remove them. •• For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn too 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. 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 he 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 oat of Himself: to desire obe one with them: and to make them happylfrom Himself. The came three con titute the erience of His wisdom ; because ove and wisdom in God make one, and love ills these things, and wisdom accomplishes hem. (True Christian Religion, No. 43.) The Word of God is Divine truth clothed m 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 men’should 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 evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. “ That it is not so difficult to lire the life o! 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 Blink that it ought not to be done because it is oontrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself so to think, and frogs custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven, and in so far as he is sonjoined 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 off until it is seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom; for who is not capable of thinking n this manner? But when he has mace a eiinning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see evils, but alsb 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 should be known that this difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increase in proportion as a man from the will commits evils ; or in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length be does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds cf fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But thia occurs with those who in age nf adolesence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart.”—“ Heaven and Hell." (No. 533).
