O, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be ! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it ; Prone to leave the God I love ; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for thy courts above."
To conclude :-
Let God's watch and ward through these ordeal years, His precious deliverances and positive bless- ings, quicken our faith, and impel to greater effort during the new year which dawns so brightly on us to-day. Think not the stone we set up here, and now, is merely an Eben-ezer of the past ; it is likewise an Eben-ezer unto the future .. Then, let memory and hope be busy ; while one recalls divine goodness, let the other anticipate divine aid ; and while recol- lection of past guardianship inspires re-dedication and re-consecration, let expectation of a helping Omnipotence urge to a more zealous and strenuous performance of our work; a work, the results of which, grasp Eternity for their duration. Brethren, remember,-" the time is short ;" the time for the accomplishment of this mighty work. "The night cometh." Be admonished, then, by these fast fleeting years, "to work while it is called to-day." O, how
257
"THE MEMORIAL STONE."
rapidly the years go by ! Nine years ago this month, I knelt at the altar, and was ordained a minister of Jesus ; eleven years and a half since, you were organ- ized ås a Church of Christ. All these years of my ministry, and your history, gone-beyond recall. Let us "redeem the time ;"
" Do something, do it soon, with all our might; An angel's wing would droop if long at rest;"
remembering we are co-workers with God-and "God himself inactive were no longer blest"-
remembering too the days of toil are nearly over, and days of remaining rest and reward nearly ours.
Then, brethren, let us work-work for our own soul's sake, for this dear Church's sake, for Christ's sake, with all the energy which the hastening glories of our on-coming Eternity can inspire. Very close to this Eternity do we lift our memorial pillar to-day ; like Samuel's, even within sight of the holy city. "Why see, see-the very glory that plays upon its summit, is light flashed from the pinnacles so near, of the heavenly Jerusalem !" while the golden radiance streaming through the now open portal, reveals in letters of living light traced by the hand of God, that epitome of our history and our hope,-" EBEN- EZER," "EBEN-EZER." Amen, Amen.

CONFESSION OF FAITH.
WE believe in one only living and true God, the Fa- ther, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; unchangeably perfect in goodness, wisdom, and power ; the univer- sal Creator, Preserver, Benefactor, and King, who works all things after the counsel of his own will, without impairing the liberty of the creature.
We believe that God has an infinite right to the services of his rational creatures, and that he requires of them, under penalty of his eternal displeasure, to love him supremely, and each other as themselves.
We believe that God made man upright ; that our first parents freely sinned and fell; that in conse- quence of this act, their descendants, until regene- rated, are utterly devoid of holiness, dead in tres- passes and sins, and helplessly exposed to the right- eous wrath of God.
We believe that God, who is rich in mercy, of his own good pleasure has provided a glorious salvation for ruined man.
1
2
CONFESSION OF FAITH.
We believe that the Son of God, who is equal with the Father, having taken upon himself our nature, and thus becoming man as well as God, did, by his sufferings and death in our stead, make atonement for our sins ; that he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven ; where he ever liveth to make interces- sion for his people.
We believe that through him God offers forgive- ness to all men ; and that every sinner who turns to God by repentance, and relies upon the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, is justified by His righteousness.
We believe that the Holy Ghost, who is very God, by special agency works in all those who are chosen to salvation, that change of heart from sin to holi- ness, without which no man can enter into the king- dom of God ; and though God will save no man who does not work out his own salvation to the end, yet, whenever he commences a good work, we believe, through sovereign grace, the Holy Ghost will surely work in that man to will and to do until the day of Jesus Christ.
We believe that God has revealed all things neces- sary to salvation in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament ; which, being given by the inspira- tion of the Holy Spirit, are the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
3
CONFESSION OF FAITH.
We believe that it is the Scriptural duty of the disciples of Christ to associate themselves for worship and communion ; for mutual watchfulness and im- provement; for the administration of Baptism and the Lord's Supper ; and for the perpetuation and ex- tension of the Redeemer's kingdom ; and that every association of believers for these purposes is a Christ- ian Church.
-
We believe that there will be a general resurrec- tion of the righeous and of the wicked ; and a general judgment, by the award of which the righteous will be admitted to everlasting happiness, and the wicked sentenced to misery without end.
Do you cordially assent to these Articles of Belief?
7
COVENANT.
THROUGH Christ strengthening us, without whom we can do nothing, here in the presence of God, angels, and men, we humbly covenant, from this time hence- forth and for ever, that we do renounce the world, the flesh, and the devil ; that we do give up ourselves, soul and body, all that we have and are, unto God, our Father, to love and to serve him, and to be his, and at his disposal in all things ; unto the Lord Je- sus Christ, our Saviour, Prophet, Priest and King, for our salvation and his glory, to be taught, strength- ened, governed and employed in all the relations and circumstances of life ; and unto the Holy Ghost, our Sanctifier, to be influenced, edified, and comforted by his gracious power, unto all Christian perfection and usefulness.
And we do further promise, that we will walk with this Church in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, and in love and charity with all its mem- bers ; resolving, for their encouragement and our own spiritual progress, that we will endeavor, by personal effort and influence, to promote its purity, efficiency, and enlargement.
Do you thus solemnly covenant and promise ?
Then doth this Church affectionately receive you to its membership, and welcome you to all the privileges, labors, and blessings of the Household of Faith.
Thus you are admitted to this Church, and have a right to all its privileges. May you have grace to improve them to the glory of God and your own edification.

Comprising all who are or have been Members, at any period from the organization of the Church, to Jan. 1, 1865.
EXPLANATION .- The letter c prefixed to a name, denotes that the person was re- ceived by certificate from some other church. All others were admitted on profes- sion of their faith.
The letter [r] at the end of a name, signifies that the person had before been a member of this Church, but having asked and received a certificate of dismission, now returned it, or brought a new one, and was re-admitted.
The letter [w] inserted in the name of a female, signifies widow.
In the names of married women, who were so at the time of admission, the name of the husband is inserted in a parenthesis.
To ascertain whether any person is still a member or not, and if not, when and how he was dismissed, and whither he has removed, see the two Alphabetical Lists, which follow this. In those Lists the names of women who have been married since their admission, as well as those who had been married before, take the names of their husbands.
