Notices. JpRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Published for thb Special Bknkfit of NonChurchgoers. Trub Christian Religion, intelligently understood, comes riot to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God sent net his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Age, are summarised as follows—* There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of: 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 deviJ 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 thre* which constitute the essence of Hi« love to love others out of Himself; to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happy front Himselt, The same three constitute the essence ol His wisdom; because lore and wisdom in Lrod make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. 43. The word of God is Divine truth clothed is 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. ''II ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciplcs indeed." John viii. 31. " Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto jou: do ye even so unto them ; for this »s 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 so difficult to live the life beaven as if commonly believed is evident frora. this—that when anything presents itself that ohb knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need not only think that it ou^r£ n -°* done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms htm* self so think, and from custom derives the habitg he is then by degrees conjoined 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 tar as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, tor it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capablc from freedom of thinking in this manner ? But when he has made a beginmn/« tf° o( * s ar ? wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see p.vils, but al* sonot to will them, and finally to become averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words. 'My yoke is easy and My burden is light." xi. 30 But it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proDortion as a man from the wills commit evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and frem the of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."— 0 Heaven and Hell," No. 533.
