THE PEARL STREET CHURCH was formed from members of the four Congregational Churches in Hartford, who, with some others, were duly constituted a Christian Church, on Friday, Oc- tober 15th, 1852, with appropriate religious services, in the edifice recently erected by the Pearl Street Congregational Society, and for the purpose of completing its ecclesiastical organization. The whole number of members was ninety-one, viz: forty-six males, and forty-five females.
On the 21st of October, 1852, HENRY W. TAYLOR was chosen Clerk, and GEORGE M. WELCH, Treasurer.
On the 1st of December, 1852, Rev. ELIAS R. BEADLE, of New Orleans, was installed first pastor of the Church; and at a meeting called for the purpose, December 10th, 1852, WILLIAM W. TURNER, ALBERT W. BUTLER, THOMAS SMITH, and OLCOTT ALLEN were chosen deacons, and DAVID F. ROBINSON, JAMES B. HOSMER, ERASTUS COLLINS, and GEORGE W. ROOT, Pru- dential Committee.

-
Articles of faith.
ARTICLE I.
WE as a Church, believe that Jehovah, the true and eter- nal God, who made, supports, and governs the world, is per- fect in natural and moral excellence, and that he exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, who possess the same nature, and are equal in every divine per- fection.
Deut. vi. 4; Isa. xiv. 5; Ps. xc. 2; Neh. ix. 6; Matt. x. 29, 30 ; 1 John iv. 8; Matt. v. 48; Exodus xxxiv. 67; John i. 1, 3; Phil. ii. : 1,6, 11 ; Heb. i. 2, 3, 6, 8; Acts v. 3, 4; Acts xiii. 2, 4; Matthew xxviii. 19; 2 Cor. xiii. 14. See also Colos. i. 14 to 19; Rev. v. 8 to 13; 1 John v. 7, 8, 20.
ARTICLE II.
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Tes- taments were written by holy men, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and are the only infallible rule of doctrine · and duty.
2 Tim. iii. 15 to 17 ; 2 Pet. i. 19 to 21 ; Matt. xx. 29; Psalm cxix. 105; Psalm cxix. 97. See also Luke xxiv. 27, 44, 45; John v. 39; Isa. viii. 20; Gal. i. 8 ; Rev. xxii. 18, 19.

-
6
ARTICLE III.
We believe that God has made all things for himself; that known unto him are all his works from the beginning, and that he governs all things according to the counsel of his own will.
Rev. iv. 11; Rom. xi. 36 ; Acts ii. 23; Isa. xlvi. 10; Acts iv. 27, 28; Eph. i. 11 ; Psalm xxxiii. 11. See also, Isa. xiv. 7; Prov. xvi. 4, 19, 21 ; Heb. vi. 17; Mal. iii. 6.
ARTICLE IV.
We believe that men are immortal and accountable; that the law of God is perfect, and his government just and good ; and that all rational beings are bound to approve, love, and obey them.
Eccles. xii. 7; Matt. x. 28 ; Rom. xiv. 12; 2 Cor. v. 10; Rom. vii. 12. See also, Psalm xix. 7, 9; Rev. xv. 3 ; Matt. xxii. 32, 12, 36.
ARTICLE V.
We believe that in consequence of the apostacy of Adam, sin and misery have been introduced into the world, and that all men, unless renewed by the Holy Spirit, are desti- tute of holiness, and under the curse of the divine law.
Rom. v. 12, 19. See Gen. i. 26, 27 ; Eccles. vii. 29; Gen. vi. 5; Gen. viii. 21 ; Eccles. ix. 3; Jer. xvii. 9; John iii. 6, 7; Rom. viii. 6 to 8. See also, Psalm xiv. 1 to 3 ; Eph. ii. 3; Rom. iii. 9 to 18; John iii. 36.
ARTICLE VI.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ assumed the nature . of man, and by his mediation and death on the cross, made atonement for the sins of the world.
Heb. ii. 14, 16; John i. 14, 29; 1 John ii. 2; Rom .. v. 8; Rev. v. 9. See also, 1 Pet. i. 18 to 20; Phil. ii. 6 to 8; 1 Tim. iii. 16 ; Matt. xxvi. 28; Heb. vii. 27.
7
ARTICLE VII.
We believe that men may accept of the offers of salvation freely made to them in the Gospel; but that no one will do this except he be drawn by the Father.
Rev. xxii. 17; Isa. xlv. 22; Ezek. xviii. 30, 31; Luke xiv. 17; John v. 40, vi. 44. See also, Ezek. xviii. 11; Mark xvi. 15, 16 ; John vi. 37.
ARTICLE VIII.
We believe that those who are finally saved, will owe their salvation to the mere sovereign mercy of God, in Christ Jesus, through repentance and faith in him, and not to any works of righteousness which they have done.
Ezek. xxxvi. 26, 32 ; Eph. i. 3 to 5; 2 Thes. ii. 13; Rom. ix. 18, 21; Titus iii. 5. See also, Acts xiii. 48 ; Rev. vii. 9, 10; John x. 11, 27, xvii. 24; Rom. viii. 29, 30.
ARTICLE IX.
We believe that a conscientious discharge of the various duties which we owe to God, to our fellow men, and to our- *selves, as enjoined in the Gospel, is not only constantly bind- ing on every Christian, but affords to himself and to the world, the only decisive evidence of his interest in the Re- deemer.
John xv. 14, 12, 8; Matt. x. 37, 38; Luke vi. 46; James i. 26, 27. See also, James iii. 17 ; Matt. xviii. 20, vi. 6 ; 2 Cor. i. 12; Micah vi. 8; Josh. i. 8.
ARTICLE X.
We believe that any number of Christians duly organized, constitute a Church of Christ, the special ordinances of which are, Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Matt. xviii. 17, xxviii. 19; Luke xxii. 19, 20. See also, 1 Cor. xi. 20, 23 to 26 ; Acts viii. 36, ii. 41, xvi. 33, xvi. 15; 1 Cor. xi. 27, 29.

8
ARTICLE XI.
We believe that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.
John v. 28, 29 ; Acts xxvi. 8, xxvi. 15 ; 1 Cor. xv. 52; Daniel xii. 2; 1 Cor. chap. xv; Luke xx. 57, 58.
' ARTICLE XII.
- We believe that all mankind will hereafter appear before the judgment seat of Christ, to receive a just and final ret- ribution, according to the deeds done in the body; and that the wicked will be sent away into everlasting punishment, and the righteous received into life eternal.
2 Cor. v. 10; Acts xvii. 31; Matt. xiii. 40 to 43 ; 2 Pet. ii. 4, 9 ; 2 Thess. i. 6 to 10; Heb. x. 31 ; Rev. xx. 12, 15, xxi. 8; Matt. xxv. 31 to 46. See also John xvii. 24; 1 Thess. iv. 17 ; Rom. ii. 2 to 12, 16 ; Eccles. xii. 14; Jude 15; Dan. xii. 2; Mark viii. 38; Rev. xxii. 10 to 12.
These are the doctrines believed by this church. Do you cordially assent to them ?
1
Lobenant.
In the presence of Almighty God, and this assembly, you do now solemnly dedicate yourself to Him and to His ser- vice ; accepting the Lord Jehovah to be your God, Jesus Christ to be your Prophet, Priest, and King, and the Holy Ghost to be your Sanctifier, Comforter, and Guide.
Although deeply sensible of your liability to error and sin, yet with humble reliance on divine grace, you do prom- ise to receive in love, the pure doctrines of the Gospel, to walk in the statutes and ordinances of the Lord blameless, and, by a life of piety towards God, and benevolence to- wards men, to honor your high vocation as a disciple of Christ.
You do also cordially join yourself to this Church, engag- ing to submit to its discipline, so far as conformable to the rules of the Gospel, to promote its peace, edification, and pu- rity, and to walk with its members in fidelity and Christian love.
This you promise to do with humble trust in the grace of God, believing that your vows are recorded on high, and will be reviewed in the day of final judgment.
Thus you promise and engage.
We then, as a Church, do cordially receive you into our communion, and in the name of Christ, declare you entitled to all the privileges of the household of faith. We welcome
10'
you to the fellowship of the saints. We promise to watch over you with tenderness and love, and to offer our prayers to the Great Head of the Church, that He would enable you to fulfill this solemn covenant, and finally present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.
"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the Sheep, through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ ; to whom be glory for ever and ever." Amen.
Baptism of Children.
. BAPTISM was instituted by Christ, and is a seal of the righteousness that is of faith. It is a precious ordinance, to which believers and their children are alike entitled ; and by which they are brought into most tender relationship with the Covenant-keeping God.
. The children whom God has given you to train for Him, you are solemnly to dedicate to His service; you are to teach them the word of God-to instruct them in the prin- ciples of religion-to pray with and for them-to set before them an example of piety and godliness, and endeavor, by all the means of God's appointment, to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
These duties, resting upon you as Christian parents, you do promise and engage, by the aid of divine grace, faithfully to perform.
BY-LAWS
OF THE
Pearl Street Church, Hartford,
ANNUAL MEETING.
The Annual Meeting of this Church shall be held on the second Thursday in the month of February, at half-past seven, P. M., at which time the records of the preceding year shall be read; the catalogue of members shall be revised ; the deacons shall present accounts of all the money received and expended in behalf of the Church during the preceding year, which accounts are to be duly audited and placed on file by the clerk; and such other business shall be done as may be ap- pointed or proper for said meeting.
The Annual Meeting, and all other meetings of this Church, for the transaction of business, excepting for the appointment of delegates to Councils, and granting letters of dismission, shall be notified on the Sabbath-day preceding.
ORDINANCES.
The Lord's Supper shall be administered ordinarily on the first Sab- bath in February, April, June, August, October, and December.
Baptism of children ordinarily in the afternoon of Communion Sab- bath.
PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE.
The Pastor and Deacons of this Church, together with six Brethren, chosen by ballot by the Church at cach Annual Meeting, for the year ensuing, shall constitute a Prudential Committee, whose duty it shall be to examine the qualifications of applicants for admission to this Church by letter or otherwise, to attend to matters of discipline, and bring before the Church such cases as in their opinion may require its action, and to do whatever business may be referred to them by the Church.
.
. 12
CLERK.
The Clerk shall be chosen by ballot; and it shall be his duty to keep a record containing minutes of the doings of this Church-its standing regulations recorded in a place by themselves, and a chronological list of its members, with the time of their admission, dismission, or death, so far as he can ascertain the same.
TREASURER.
The Treasurer shall be chosen annually by ballot; and it shall be his duty to make a report at the Annual Meeting of the Church, of all money received and paid out by him.
ADMISSION.
Persons having been examined and approved by the Prudential Committee, for admission to this Church, shall be propounded two Sabbaths previous to their admission.
DISMISSION.
All letters of dismission from this Church, and recommendation to another Church, in fellowship with this, shall be given by vote of the Church, upon application made known to them at least one week pre- vious ; shall be signed by the Pastor, and countersigned by the Clerk; and shall purport to be valid for only one year from the date thereof.
ABSENT MEMBERS.
Whenever members of this Church shall change their place of resi- dence or worship, it shall be their duty, as soon as they conveniently can, to apply to this Church for letters of dismission and recommenda- tion, to some other Church in fellowship with us, if there is such in their neighborhood ; and if they shall delay this application more than one year after such change, letters shall not be granted, unless special reasons satisfactory to this Church are assigned for the delay.
Immediately after the Annual Meeting, it shall be the duty of the Clerk to forward copies of these Regulations, respecting absent mem- bers, to such as shall be found to have changed their place of residence or worship, without applying to us for dismission ; and if such absent member shall disregard the communication, they shall be considered as guilty of a breach of fellowship.
13 MEMBERS OF OTHER CHURCHES.
No member of another Church, residing in this town and accustomed to worship with us, shall be allowed to commune with us more than one year without applying to the Pastor or other members of the Pru- dential Committee, for admission to this Church, or for making known satisfactory reasons for delay.
DISCIPLINE.
Whereas, Gospel discipline is indispensable to the purity and well- being of the Church of Christ, whenever any member of this Church knows cause of complaint against another member, for disciplinable offenses, Christian watchfulness requires of him to make known the same to the Church, through the Prudential Committee, in order that the offender may be properly dealt with, and the offense removed ; provided, however, that if the offense be of a private nature, the com- plainant shall pursue the course prescribed in Matthew xviii. 15 to 17.
That no case of discipline shall be brought before this Church except through the Prudential Committee, or after due application shall have been made and opportunity afforded to them for presenting the com- plaint.
DISMISSION TO OTHER DENOMINATIONS.
Ist. This Church adopts the principle of open and free communion, and is ready on due application, to dismiss and recommend its mem- bers to any evangelical church that adopts the same principle.
2d. If any member of this Church shall leave its fellowship to unite with another of different denomination, and does not seek the advice of the Pastor, and ask a letter of dismission, it shall be regarded as a breach of covenant, and such a disorder as requires its discipline.
3d. If any member of this, wishes to unite with an evangelical Church that rejects our communion, or denies our existence as a Church, and can not be dissuaded, we are not able, consistently, with our principle of open communion, to give a dismission and recommen- dation in the ordinary form, but will give a certificate of regular standing, and record his dismission ; it being understood, as in other cases, that the dismission takes effect when the person receiving it is admitted as a member of the Church with which he proposes to unite.

BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES.
Whereas, the members of every Christian Church at the present day, ought to regard their particular body as a benevolent society, and as such they are bound to aid, according to their ability, in sustaining the operations of the various societies by them approved, which have for their object the spiritual welfare and salvation of mankind ;
Therefore, in the opinion of this Church, the following societies are entitled to our liberal contributions, and this Church will annually take up collections as follows :
For the American Tract Societies, in January.
Education Society, in February.
Sunday School Union, in March.
Bible Society, in April.
Home Missionary Society, in May.
Seamen's Friend Society, in June.
66
Disabled Ministers' Fund, in July.
State Temperance Society, in August.
and Foreign Christian Union, in September.
Missionary Association, in October.
Board for Foreign Missions, in November.
Congregational Union, in December.
Collectors appointed by the Prudential Committee shall call on the members of the Church and Society pledged to give, for their contribu- tions, and shall pay over the amount collected to the treasurer of dona- tions, who shall be annually appointed to receive and . transmit these collections, through the appropriate auxiliaries, if any exist, to the above named Societies ; and shall make a report of the same at the annual meeting of the Church.
TEMPERANCE.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Church, the use and the traffic in intoxicating drinks, as a bererage, are inconsistent with the spirit and requirements of the Christian Religion.
Voted, That the sentiment of the foregoing Resolution govern us in the admission and discipline of members, and that the same be entered on our records, and be printed in connection with our By-Laws.
15
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The Church regards the Sunday School under its especial care, and will annually hold a meeting on the second Thursday evening in De- cember, to appoint officers, hear reports from the Superintendent, the Treasurer, and the Librarian ; and generally to adopt such measures as will best promote the prosperity and success of the school.
The Officers of the Sunday School shall consist of a Superintendent, a Male and a Female Assistant, a Female Superintendent for the In- fant Class ; a Secretary and Treasurer, and a Librarian ; all of whom shall be chosen by ballot. There shall also be chosen by nomination a Prudential Committee of three male teachers, whom the Superintendent may consult and advise with, at his discretion, in matters affecting the welfare of the School.
