CONFESSION OF FAITH.
-
1. WE believe that there is one only living and true God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; a being possessed of every possible perfection, in- finite in power, wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.
2. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are given by inspiration of God, and that they contain the only perfect rule of faith and practice.
3. We believe that God made all things for him- self; and that he governs the universe according to the counsel of his own will, and that all events will be made subservient to his wise and benevolent designs.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, in a state of rectitude and holiness ; that he fell from that state by transgressing the divine law ; and that in consequence of the original apostacy, the heart of man in his natural state is destitute of holi- ness and inclined to evil; and that all men previous to regeneration, are dead in trespasses and sins.
4
5. We believe that Christ Jesus has, by his suffer- ings and death, made atonement for sin, and that all who are saved, are justified wholly by grace through the redemption which there is in Christ.
6. We believe that salvation is freely offered to all men, and that all men are under obligation, immedi- ately to embrace the gospel ; but that such is the depravity of the human heart, that no man will come to Christ, until he is renewed by the special agency of the Holy Spirit.
7. We believe that all who embrace the gospel, were from the beginning chosen unto salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth ; and that they will be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.
8. We believe that there will be a resurrection of the just and of the unjust, and a day of general judgment; and that the wicked will go away into punishment, and the righteous into happiness, both of which will be without end.
9. We believe that in this world the Lord Jesus Christ has a visible church, the terms of admission to which are a credible evidence of regeneration, baptism, and a public profession of faith in Christ ; that the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper are to be observed to the end of the world; that none but members of the visible church have a right to the Lord's Supper, and that such, and such only have a right to dedicate their infant offspring in baptism.
Do You thus profess and believe ?
COVENANT.
CONFESSING that you are a sinful, guilty creature -that you have forsaken GoD your Maker, and lived under the influence of that carnal mind, which is enmity against Him and His laws-and hence- forth renouncing the destructive ways of sin, and disclaiming all dependence on yourself, you do now, in the presence of Gon and men, solemnly choose and take the LORD JEHOVAH to be your Gon and FA- THER-His equal and eternal Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to be your only Saviour-the HOLY SPIRIT to be your sanctifier, guide and comforter; and the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the rule of your faith and practice.
In the same public and solemn manner you dedicate yourself to GoD in the bonds of his everlast- ing covenant, unreservedly surrendering all that you have and are to His sovereign disposal-en- gaging, by his assistance, to live henceforth to Him and not to yourself; and to aim, whatever you do, to do all to His glory.
6
In humble dependence on Divine Grace, you bind yourself to a faithfuland persevering performance of the various duties which you owe to GoD, to your fellow creatures and to yourself-to bring up all committed to your care in the nurture and admoni- tion of the Lord, and to use your influence, in every relation in life, to promote the cause and interest of the ever blessed REDEEMER.
You also covenant and engage that you will dili- gently attend on all Christian ordinances, and hold communion in them with this Church-especially in the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper ; -that you will watch over your Brethren in love, faithfully reproving them when they go astray ; and that you will submit to the discipline of CHRIST in his house, and to the regular administration of it in this Church-in all things seeking its peace and welfare so long as GoD shall continue you here.
Do you thus profess and bind yourself by the pro- mised assistance of your great covenant head, to perform ?
I then, in the presence of God and these witnesses, and in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST pronounce you a member of this branch of his visible Church; and we covenant and engage to treat you as such ; to watch over you in love-and should you at any tìme be overtaken in a fault, to restore you in a spirit of meekness, considering ourselves, lest we also be tempted.
ADDRESS.
AND now beloved in the Lord, let it never be for- gotten, that you have come under solemn obligations from which you cannot escape. Wherever you go these vows will be upon you ;- and should you have occasion to change your place of residence, it will be your duty to seek, and ours to grant, a recommen- dation to another Church; for hereafter you can NEVER withdraw from the watch and communion of the Saints, without a breach of Covenant. You have unalterably committed yourselves and henceforth you MUST be the Servants of the Lord. Hereafter the eyes of the world will be upon you ; and as you demean yourselves, so will religion be honored or disgraced. If you walk worthy of your profession, you will be a credit and a comfort to us; but if it be otherwise, you will be to usa grief of heart and a vex- ation. Strive, therefore, to walk in the fear of God. Count not that you have already attained the high moral elevation to which you should aim, but with unfailing perseverance, PRESS on and on until you Do
8
attain it. Shrink not at the cross. Remember him who hath gone before you, and who reckoned not his own life dear unto himself, that he might bring you in peace to his blessed abode. And now belov- ed, we commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you and us an inheritance among all them who are sanc- tified. Amen.
REGULATIONS.
SECTION I.
OF THE QUALIFICATION AND ADMISSION OF MEMBERS.
ARTICLE I. This Church expects that each candi- date for admission, give evidence of regeneration, and assent to the faith and covenant of this Church.
ART. II. Candidates are to be examined by the Pastor and the committee of the Church, chosen for that purpose, and must stand propounded before the Church four weeks, and the Congregation two weeks, previous to their public admission, except in extra- ordinary cases ; and the question of admission must be taken by vote, in a meeting of the Church.
ART. III. This Church admits members of other regular Churches to occasional communion, on con- dition of their complying with the rules which this Church has adopted for the regulation of its own members ; but not for a longer time than one year, unless they assign satisfactory reasons for delaying to produce dismissions and recommendations from the Churches to which they belong.
ART. IV. Members of other Churches wishing to unite with this church, are received when they pro- duce a regular dismission and recommendation, and
10
give satisfactory evidence of piety; being propounded at least one week before their admission.
ART. V. The Scribe is to inform candidates from the world, of their admission by vote, and present them copies of the regulations; he is also to inform members from other Churches of their admission, also members restored after suspension or excommu- nication ; and present the regulations to the former.
SECTION II.
OF MEETINGS.
The following meetings are established by vote of the Church, and they consider it the duty of all the members to attend them according to their ability.
Prayer meeting on Friday evening of each week. Monthly Concert of Prayer on the Sabbath evening next preceding the first Monday in each month.
Sabbath School Concert of Prayer on the Sabbath evening next preceding the 2d Monday in each month.
Annual meeting for the choice of Church officers on the last Monday evening of December.
SECTION III.
OF CENSURES AND EXCOMMUNICATIONS.
ART. I. This Church holds itself bound to discipline its members, for all instances of vice or immorality which come to the knowledge of the Church; and to cut off offenders from their communion, for flagrant transgressions of the moral law, or when they impenitently persist in minor offences.
ART. II. Any member, who shall deny any of the fundamental doctrines which are embraced by this Church, and which he professed on his admission, shall be admonished; if he persists, after the first and second admonition, he shall be rejected from the fellowship of this Church.
ART. III. The Pastor, the Deacons, or any member,
11
may bring a charge before the Church against any transgressor.
ART. IV. Any member who is accused before the Church, shall be duly notified of the charge; and be entitled to a fair investigation, and an opportunity for making his defence.
ART. V. The confession of an accused member or the concurrent testimony of two credible witnesses, or circumstantial evidence deemed equivalent by the Church, shall be considered sufficient for his convic- tion.
ART. VI. Every vote and sentence of excommuni- cation shall be read before the whole congregation on the Sabbath next succeeding such excommunication, or before a regular meeting of the Church, at the option of the officers of the Church.
ART. VII. This Church considers it the duty of every male head of a family, to maintain family prayer ; a neglect of this duty will subject its mem- bers to admonition and discipline.
SECTION IV.
OF WITHDRAWING FROM THE CHURCH.
ART. I. This Church will grant dismissions and re- commendations to those members who are in good standing, and who conscientiously prefer uniting with other Churches, with which we are in fellow- ship, when they apply in a regular manner, and with a Christian spirit; the application to stand over for consideration one week.
ART. II. This Church deems it irregular for their members to withdraw from them, and to unite in communion and worship with other Churches, either on account of any offence, or for better edification, without giving notice to the Church, and requesting a dismission.
ART. III. It shall be the duty of every member of this Church, who may remove from this town to
12
reside in any other place, to apply as soon as con- venient for a dismission and recommendation to some regular Church of CHRIST, in, or near the place of his residence. Should any member neglect to make such application within a year after his settlement in any other place, he shall not receive a recommendation from this Church, unless he assign a satisfactory reason for his delay, and produce a certificate from the Church to which he wishes to be recommended, that he has maintained a Christian character during his residence among them.
SECTION V.
SABBATH SCHOOL.
ART. I. The School shall be held in such a place as shall be provided by the Church.
ART. II. The officers of the School shall be a Superintendant, Assistant Superintendant, Scribe and Librarian; chosen annually by vote of the Teachers.
ART. III. Teachers shall be appointed by the Superintendants and Pastor, and in case of no Pastor, the Senior Deacon shall supply his place.
ART. IV. Other arrangements necessary to the successful progress of the School may be made by the Superintendant alone or conjointly with the Teachers.
This Church has, by vote May 7, 1845, declared that-
" Lightness of deportment in the sanctuary-
Absence from Church on the Sabbath or Sab- bath Evening, or from Church meetings, (without good and substantial reasons)-
Becoming members of Secret Societies-
Attending dancing parties, Theatrical Exhibitions, and playing games of Chance and other games- and
Attending Oratorios of Sacred Music on Sab- bath Evenings," --
Are unbecoming the members of Christ's body, and cannot be indulged in by any one without inju- riously affecting the peace and prosperity of the Church.
