ARTICLES OF FAITHI.
ART. I. You believe that there is one only living and true God, who is a Spirit, infinite in natural at- tributes and moral perfections, that the mode of his existence is such, as lays a foundation for the three- fold distinction of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who possess the same nature and are equal in every divine attribute and perfection : that he made, pre- serves, and governs all things for his own glory, and that in whatsoever comes to pass, he accomplishes the eternal counsel of his own will in such a way that man is a free and accountable agent.

ART. VI. You believe that although the saints are justified by faith and saved by grace yet the law as a rule of life remains in full force, so that perfect holiness of heart and life is duty, and that the gospel of free grace does not countenance or encourage in any case to live in the least degree of sin.

Do you consent to these as articles of your belief ?:
COVENANT.
You do now in the presence of the everliving God and this assembly, avouch 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.
You do deliberately, and forever, dedicate your- selves and all you have to God in Christ Jesus, hum- bly confessing and repenting of your sins, professing to have accepted of salvation as coming exclusively through Jesus Christ and as bestowed on you through the rich and sovereign grace of God.
You do solemnly promise, in dependence on divine grace, that you will make the word of God the rule of your faith and practice, that you will carefully observe his ordinances and institutions, that you will walk worthy the Christian vocation, evincing a life of piety towards God and of benevolence towards your fellow men.
You do also cordially join yourselves to this church of Christ, especially dedicating yourselves to the ser- vice of Christ in it, engaging while you continue a member of it, that you will walk with it in charity and Christian affection, that you will seek its purity, peace and edification, and that you will faithfully employ, and meekly receive the admonition and dis- cipline which Christ has ordained.
24
With an affecting belief that your vows are recor- 'ded on high, and will be reviewed in the day of final judgment, to this Covenant you give your cordial consent.
(Here the members of the church are requested to rise and stand.)
We, then, as a Church, do cordially receive you into our fellowship and communion, and give thanks to God, who we trust has inclined your hearts to fear his name ; we promise to treat you with Christ- ian affection, to watch over you with tenderness, and to offer our prayers to the great head of the church to enable you to fulfil the Covenant which you have now made.
The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Now unto Him, who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the pre- sence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God, our Saviour, be glory and majesty, domin- ion and power, both now and ever. AMEN.
COVENANT
TO BE USED IN THE BAPTISM OF CHILDREN.
You, who have now appeared in the Sanctuary with the child [or the children] which God has given you, believing that his Covenant is not only with his people, but with their seed after them, and feeling it to be a privilege thus publicly to dedicate your offspring to his service, and have applied to them the seal of that Covenant, do now sacredly devote this child, [or these children,] to be His forever, and, in humble reliance on His grace, do solemnly engage to train it [or them] up in his fear, to instruct it for them] faithfully in Ilis Word, to set before it [or them] a pure and Christian example, and by all means in your power to prepare it [or them] for admission into His visible Church on earth, and for a place at His right hand forevermore.
Thus in dependence on the all sufficient grace of Christ to make you faithful, you now promise.
[Ilere follows the administration of the ordinance as usual, after which the Church will rise at the following words.]
We, then, your brethren of this Church, do cove- nant affectionately with you, to regard this child, [or these children,] as embraced within our watch,
3
26
and to aid you in this great work by our sympathy, our example, and our prayers. And may the Great Head of the Church bless and keep you and your house, and at length gather you and them into the mansions of His Eternal Rest.

STANDING RULES OF THE CHURCH.
RULE I. That any person, wishing to join our communion ; be first propounded before the Church and Congregation, at least one Sabbath previous to the Sabbath of admission.
RULE II. That a letter of recommendation from any other church in favor of any individual wishing to connect with this church, shall be publicly read before the church, and if no objection shall be made within one week after it is thus read, the pastor or officiating minister is authorized to declare that in- dividual a member of this church.
RULE III. That any member of this church wishing to remove his or her relationship from this church to some other church, shall be publicly announced to the church, and if no objection shall be made within one week, the pastor, or in case there shall be no pastor, the clerk of the church is authorized to grant the letter.
RULE IV. That when any member of this Church, removing from this place, shall suffer the space of two years to pass without either taking a letter of dismission, or in any way communicating with the Church, this shall be considered a neglect of cove- nant obligation, and no letter shall afterwards be granted without due satisfaction made to the church.
·
23
RULE V. Members of sister and other churches in regular standing, residing among us, shall not be considered as being included in the customary invi- tation to communion in the Lord's supper for a longer term than one year, except by a vote of the church on their application.
RULE VI. There shall be appointed at the annual meeting of the church, a committee not exceeding seven, whose duty it shall be to assist the pastor in the examination of candidates for admission to the church, to conduct when necessary any investigation before the church, or to obtain the assistance requi- site to conduct such investigation ; but the existence of this committee shall not be understood to release any member of the church from taking the first, second or third steps in the case of offences within his knowledge.
RULE VII. The offences which especially require the exercise of christian discipline are such personal injuries as interrupt a free and pleasant communion ; all vices and immoralities which bring reproach upon the christian name ; all departure from the essential doctrines of the gospel; and all willful neglect of the essential duties of christianity.
RULE VIII. We take the directions of our Saviour in Matthew xviii. 15-17 inclusive as our rule in all cases of offence.
RULE IX. When it becomes necessary to tell a fault to the Church, the complaint brought in due form, with the names of the witnesses must first be presented to the Pastor, or if there be no Pastor, to the Senior Officer of the Church, who, as soon as
29
may be, shall call a meeting of the Church for an examination of the case, and shall cause the accused to be cited, and the witnesses to be summond to be present, giving them reasonable notice beforehand.
RULE X. No member shall be convicted but by the testimony of two or three witnesses or that which is equivalent. And we deem the evidence as coming within that which the spirit of the gospel re- quires which will prove by different individuals, the same offence, neglect of duty or heresy in kind on different occasions, although as to each particular but one can testify, and therefore recognize such offences, neglect of duty and heresies as disciplin- able.
RULE XI. On the conviction of a member when the offence is peculiarly scandalous and notorious, it may be necessary to proceed to excommunication immediately, but in other cases conviction should be followed by admonition on the part of the church previous to the final sentence.
RULE XII. Confessions before the church should be made, only at public meetings, and whenever the sentence of excommunication is pronounced, it should be done publicly.
RULE XIII. We consider ourselves bound to dis- contenance reports which are injurious to the Chris- tian character of any member, and the circulation of such reports we consider a disciplinable offence ; but whenever we have serious cause to apprehend that any one has been overtaken in a fault, it is our duty to go to him directly and tell it to him alone; if on 2*
4
30
the examination, there appears to be no sufficient ground for the complaint, we are to do what we can to stop injurious reports respecting it ; and in all cases to endeavor, as far as possible, by private and seasonable admonitions, counsels and prayers to set- tle differences, and remove offences without a public exposure of them.
RULE XIV. No member may refuse to attend with the church on any ordinance of the gospel on account of any offence committed by another member.
RULE XV. That if any member of this church shall offend or trespass against another in a manner which can in the opinion of the aggrieved member be proved according to the word of God, and when the steps which the gospel requires cannot be taken by the aggrieved member before the then next ad- ministration of the Lord's supper, he may request the offending member to absent himself for that oc- casion only from this ordinance.
RULE XVI. We are under the same obligations to members of other churches of our communion who reside among us, as & members of this church in respect to private admonition in cases of offences, and when any one of them is not gamed by private admonition it is our duty to inform the church to which he belongs.
RULE XVII. We acknowledge ourselves to sus- tain a tender and responsible relation to the children of the members of the church as recognized in their baptism; and we consider it our duty to afford each other all the aid in our power in training them up in
.
31
1
the nurture and admonition of the Lord ; to cultivate an acquaintance with them, to remind them of their special obligations ; to do whatever we can to per- suade them to comply with their obligations ; and also freely to give each other and thankfully to re- ceive whatever notices or admonitions may be need- ful, in order to a discreet and faithful performance of parental duties.
RULE XVIII. The ordinance of the Lord's Sup- per shall be administered at least six times a year ; the first Sabbaths of every other month commencing with January, shall be (providence permitting,) the stated periods.
RULE XIX. The foregoing rules shall be read before the church and congregation annually on the first Sabbath on which the communion shall be ad- ministered after the annual meeting of the church.
Resolved, In the case of non-resident members of this church, who shall any time have been ten years absent without regular dismission, and without com- municating with the church, or (2) who have united themselves to churches with whom we hold no com- munion, or (3) who are reported to be of unchristian walk or opinions, and from whom, after due endeavor to correspond with them, no answer is obtained, that the watch of the Church be withdrawn from them, and that in token thereof the words, watch with- drawn, be affixed to their names in the record of church members.
