ADVERTISEMENT. pRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY Eon THE SPECIAL BENEFIT OF Non-Chchchgobbs.

'fnnx Christi a Religion, intelligently under tood, comes not to add to men’a'burdene, but o remove them. “ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn me world, butthat the world through Him might be saved.” Jahn iii, 17 Its ead.f.g doctrines, adapted to the use of hie New Age. are summarised as follows:— There i* one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity id 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 thev ought tn 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 " ove and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes hem. (True Christian Religion, No. 43.) The Word of God is Divine truth clothed n human language, and adapted to the varir -i 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 lew and the pro phets,” Matt, vii., 8. The Tan Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may ttain 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 iteelf 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 bo to think, and from custom derivee the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven, and in so far as ha 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; pnd in so far as be sees these evils they can be shaken oft, tor it is impossible that any evil can be shaken oft 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 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 he Lord’s words, “ My yoke is easy and My urden 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 tbs will commits evils ; or in bo far be becomes to them, until at length ha does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and fey ftll kinds of tollacios confirms them, anil declares that they arc allowable and good. But this occurs wiljr those who in age ofladolesehce plunge into BFils us if without Restraint, and al the ramo time reject Divine things from the heart,”—"Heavens apd Hell."
