Truk Christian Religion, intelligently under* ;,tood, conies not to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God sent not bis Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 17. Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use this New Ago. 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 arc to be shunned, because they are of the devi l and from tho. 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 arc from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thro" which constitute the essence of His love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to be one with them ; and to makethem happyfrom Himself, The same three constituto the essence of Mis wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make 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, 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. "I' ye continue in My word, then are yc My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore all things whatsoever yc would that men should do unto )on: do ye 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 that men may attain eternal life. "That it is not so difficult to live the life o r. heaven as if commonly believed is evident froru this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need not only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands.
