DUTIES OF THE
CHURCH MEMBER.
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the Gospel of Christ. Phil. 1 : 27
We have no set of formal rules for the members of our Church. But in all particulars they are to conform their character and con- duct to the well ascertained principles of Christian Morality, which are laid down in the Word of God. On this basis, the en- lightened conscience and the sanctified experience of the church commend the following, as Christian Duties :
SECRET DEVOTION.
Be watchful over your own souls. The christian life cannot be . maintained without the use of the secret means of grace. These are the private reading and study of the Bible, and secret prayer These things cannot be omitted even for a day, without spiritual loss, and danger to the soul of the believer. Daily duties and . trials call for daily nourishment and strength. They that wait up- on the Lord shall renew their strength. Is. 40: 31.
HOUSEHOLD RELIGION.
In every faithful Christian family there will be a Family Alter. If it is practicable, let the household be assembled both morning and evening for family worship. It is a good plan to have all supplied with Bibles, and take part in the reading. Singing adds greatly to the interest and profit of this service. Every member of the family should be required to be present. Make the service short, cheerful and simple. Try to suit the prayers, the praises and the Scripture, to the age, duties, and wants of the different members of the household; and do not fear to use the language of
+

daily life in prayer. Pray for the absent ones, for the Church, for the Pastor, and for the Sunday School.
At every meal acknowledge the mercies of the Lord, and return thanks to Him, who gives us day by day our daily bread, as well as the Bread and Water of Life.
THE SABBATH DAY.
Remember to keep it Holy. Well spent it brings a rich blessing. The day should be devoted to public and private worship; the in- struction of the household in God's word; cheerful and profitable religious conversation and singing; and in direct efforts for the spiritual welfare of others. Works of necessity and mercy alone are permissible. Visiting and feasting, traveling, and riding or walking for mere pleasure, are all to be carefully avoided.
Call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words. Isaiah5 8:13.
PUBLIC WORHIP.
Going to Church is not to be made a matter of mere conveni- ence, or inclination. It is a duty which the Christian . accepts. Next in importance to being at the House of God, is being there in time. Five minutes before the opening service may be well spent in silent preparation of heart. Imitate the punctuality of that devout woman who gave as her reason for promptness; "I make it a part of my religion not to disturb the religion of others."
No excuse ought to keep you from the Church services, or from the weekly prayer meeting, which would not have kept you from fulfilling an appointment for business or pleasure. A man is not too tired to go to the house of God, who is not too tired to go to his business.
BUSINESS CONDUCT.
In our daily life, and our dealings with our fellow men, we must be conformed to those principles of Christian morality which are enjoined in the Bible. Honesty, Truth, Industry, Meekness and Forbearance are expected of the disciple of Jesus. He must be " Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. Rom. 12:11.

CHURCH SUPPORT.
The regular support of the Church at home, and of the Benevo- lent enterprises of the Church, according to the ability of each, is required of the Church member. His just proportion is deter- mined by the rule, "as God hath prospered him."
TEMPERANCE. 2008952
We believe that the fact of church membership involves the most positive pledge to temperance that is possible. We interpret this pledge to mean total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks as a beverage, on the ground of Christian expediency, prudence and regard for others. It also involves the active influence of the Christian against intemperance, and all that tends to it. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Rom. 14:21.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Session of this Church, in common with the great body of the church of Christ in our land, does affectionately and earnestly advise and expect the members to abstain from all worldly amuse- ments of ill-repute and doubtful tendencies, such as promiscuous dancing, cards and theater-going. We do not discuss the sinful- ness of these things. It is enough that their tendency is against spiritual growth and usefulness; that they injure, if they do not entirely destroy the influence for good, of those who indulge in them; and that they are universally regarded as conformity to the world. At their very best, such things must be classed as "doubt- ful," and as having "the appearance of evil." To the Christian the rule is positive, "be not conformed to this world." "Abstain from all appearance of evil." In every case of doubt, give Christ the benefit of the doubt. We desire above all things your growth in grace, and your spiritual health. Wherefore we beseech you, brethren, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.

CHRISTIAN WORK.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58.
Work for Christ is the fruit of faith in Christ. Every one who has true faith will work. "Faith without works is dead." It is our aim to have this a working church. There is something that everyone can do for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls. The opportunities for usefulness in our city are very great, and the demand for workers is pressing. "Why stand ye here all the day idle ?"
IN ORDER TO BE USEFUL AS CHRISTIANS WE MUST
1. Be familiar with the word of God. The Bible is the work- er's sickle : as it is also the sword of the Spirit. It is a first duty to keep the sickle sharp; the sword, bright. Study the Bible daily, prayerfully, patiently.
2. The Christian worker must have an established character for integrity, charity, meekness and sincerity. We must never forget anywhere, or under any circumstances, that we are Christ's wit- nesses and workmen.
· 3. Continue in earnest secret prayer for God's blessing on every work undertaken for His glory, and the good of others. Without me ye can do nothing.
4. Remember that the Lord uses most, the instrument that is nearest to Himself. Nothing can take the place of gennine piety. An insincere professor can no more bear good fruit, than a painted fire can warm.
5. Have a definite aim, and keep it constantly in view. Hap- hazard, and spasmodic efforts are only a waste of time. Ask. "Lord, WHAT will Thou have me do?" and then stick to the work He gives, till it is done.

6. Christ's workmen are engaged for life. Let us not be weary in well doing ; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. GAL. 6:9. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal. JOHN 4:36.
THE WORKING BAND.
To secure systematic effort, develop the peculiar gifts of indi- viduals, promote a spirit of enterprise, and reap the benefits of or- ganization, a Band has been formed of those members who are willing to sign the following
AGREEMENT.
We, members of the First Presbyterian Church of Burlington, Iowa, do form ourselves into an organized Band, under the guid- ance of the Pastor and Session of the Church, for the purpose of engaging in active personal labors among our fellow men about us. Our sole object is the glory of Christ, through the upbuilding of His cause, and the salvation of souls. We simply give ourselves to Christ without any reservation, to be led by Him in the way of every good word and work. "To every man his work."
METHODS OF WORK.
" All at work, and always at work."
1. Holding Cottage Prayer meetings, and Gospel meetings with Lay-preaching, under the direction of the Session; and Bible reading, with singing, from house to house.
2. Visiting the sick and the poor; reporting promptly to the Pastor and Deacons, cases that need attention; and bestowing such aid as may be needed.
3. Distribution of tracts, papers, and other religious reading.
4. Direct personal conversation and prayer with those who are unsaved ; efforts to reclaim the intemperate and fallen.
5. Work for, and in the Sunday School.
6. Paying careful attention to strangers coming into our city ; and looking up those who are not in the habit of attending Church, the Prayer meeting, and the Sunday School.
7. Punctual attendance on the means of grace; and prompt and conscientious giving to the support of the Church, and to works of Benevolence.
: 8. By patiently enduring affliction, and by quiet waiting, and a chastened and submissive will, under trials and losses, showing

forth the great grace, power, and faithfulness of Jesus towards His people.
In some, or all, of these and kindred ways of usefulness, every Christian ought to be employed. Reader, what work are you doing for Christ?
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Prov. 3:6.
THE LADIES' SOCIETY.
MISS MARY FOSTER, President. MRS. C. H. WHITING, Secretary. MRS. L. COOK, Treasurer.
In addition to the promotion of acquaintance and sociability among the members of the congregation, this society has under- taken, as its special work, to provide furniture for our proposed new church building. They solicit orders for needle work, plain or fancy, and contributions in money or goods.
The regular meetings are held weekly, on Thursday afternoon, at the corner of Fourth and Court streets. All the ladies of the congregation are invited to become members.
·
And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. Exodus 35 : 25.
THE LADIES' MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15.
MRS. O. H. DENISE, Pres't. MRS. M. E. MCCLINTOCK Vice Pres't. Mrs. S. L. BLAKE, Treas. MISS MARY GRAY, Secretary.
This society is auxiliary to the Women's Board of Missions of the north-west. Its object is " Woman's work for Woman," or the support of female missionaries among heathen women. Contri- butions to this work are solicited from all friends of missions; and can be paid through the Missionary Box in the Vestibule of the Church.
The society meets on the first Saturday of each month at 3. P. M. in the Church. All the ladies of the congregation will be wel- comed at this meeting; and also at the Female Prayer meeting, which meets the remaining Saturdays of the month, at the same place and hour.

VII.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Come ye, and let us go to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob ; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths. Is. 2:3.
The Pastor and Session count the Sunday School a most valu- able means of grace for the whole Church. We desire to see every member of the congregation in full sympathy with it, and active in its support. Unless duty requires your presence elsewhere, be in the school, either as a student of God's Word, or if called to the office, as a Teacher.
THE TEACHER'S DUTIES.
Persons who undertake the office of Teacher in our School, agree, by the help of God:
1. To be loyal to this Church, to the Superintendent of this School, and to all its rules.
2. To use all prayerful diligence in the study and preparation of the lesson.
3. To be regular and punctual in attendance. If it is ever providentially impracticable to be present, use your best efforts to procure a suitable substitute.
4. To attend the Teachers' Meeting; not as a mere matter of convenience, but of conscience.
5. To visit and know the scholars at their homes as far as prac- ticable ; and to encourage their visits in return.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubt- less come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Ps. 126: 6.
THE SCHOLAR'S DUTIES.
Will not each Scholar, by the help of God, try;
1. To prepare the lessons with care ?
2. To be as regular and punctual as your teacher, in attendance ?
3. To be orderly, attentive, and devout in behaviour ?
4. To pray for your Teacher, your class mates, and yourself ?
5. To give regularly to the Missionary work ?
6. To bring new scholars, from among those who do not attend any school ?
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Prov. 3:17.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. WORTH NOTING.
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruit- ful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Col., 1:10.
THE PASTOR.
VISITING .- It is the Pastor's aim to visit every family in the congregation at least as often as once a year; and whenever sick- ness, or other reasons for more frequent calls exist, as often as is desirable. In so large and scattered a congregation he cannot be expected to know of illness in your family, or that on other ac- counts a call is desired, unless you will take pains to send him word. It sometimes happens that families in affliction feel that they are neglected, when the fact is that the Pastor knows nothing of their trouble. Please mention, in sending word, for what purpose a call is desired.
Your Pastor will always count it a privilege to unite with your household, or any member of it, in prayer or other religious ser- vices. If this is convenient, will you not freely indicate your de- sire to him?
IT IS NEVER an intrusion when persons come to the Pastor for spiritual instruction and counsel; and he will be glad to visit in- quirers at their homes at any time they wish him to do so.
INQUIRY MEETINGS .- After any Church service, and in particu- lar after the Sabbath evening service, all persons who feel any interest on the subject of personal religion, or who may desire in-

struction in the truth, and conference about their own salvation, are cordially and earnestly invited to remain and make their case known to the Pastor.
