Description:Excerpt from New Church Essays on Science, Philosophy and Religion: Including Literature and the ArtsThe Fountains, whence we shall draw our rich supplies, are both numerous and abundant: besides those contained in the minds of living New Churchmen, there are more than One Hundred Volumes of New Church Periodicals, in this country and Europe; many of which contain Gold and Silver and Copper, of sterling weight and standard value, - articles that came from the heart and head, in all the fulness and freshness of Spiritual Spring and Celestial Summer: and what a source of regret, that these highly useful Essays and Dissertations are accessible to so few of the present Members of the New Dispensation! Here is the New Jerusalem Magazine, which has reached its twenty-seventh Volume, a mine of Spiritual wealth, containing excellent articles of a practical character on all the subjects of Regenerate Life: and there is the Intellectual Repository of England, which is much older; and then we have the Precursor, the N. Churchmen, the N. C. Repository, and others that might be mentioned: also Lectures, and rare and valuable books, both great and small, - all containing more or less of admirable Reading for the head and heart, and which will doubtless command the attention and meet the approbation of the Receivers of these Doctrines for many generations. Let us gather up some of these Gems from the Mountain, and Pearls from the Ocean, Myrrh from the Forest, and Gold from the Mine; that nothing truly useful may be lost.Another consideration presses on the mind it is this, (and should never be forgotten, ) that through the New Jerusalem, Mankind are to receive both Science and Philosophy, as well as Theology: indeed, we must all eat of the crums that fall from the Children's table in heaven. All natural truths must be illuminated and purified by divine truths, applied to life, according to the Word, and thus be prepared for a heavenly union in the minds of men and angels.It is presumed that the true Friends of true Progress will be glad to have, and to lend to inquirers of their way to Zion, such a work as this must be - exhibiting the Goods and Truths of the New Church in perfect unison with love to the Lord and the neighbor. It should not, however, be supposed, from what has been said on the subject of Brotherly Love, that there is to be no warning against the love of self, and the love of the world for the sake of self; for against these deadly enemies, and all their offspring, it is our purpose to wage a war of extermination; for, from these two sources, ﬂow all the unhappiness and misery of man: and it is in reference to those evil loves, that our Lord declared I came, not to send peace on the earth, (the natural mind) but a sword and a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
