I. OF THE SCRIPTURES.
We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction ; that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter ; that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us; and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true centre of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.
II. OF THE TRUE GOD.
That there is one, and only one, true and living God, whose name is JEHOVAH, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth ; inexpressibly glorious in holiness; worthy of all possible honor, con- fidence, and love; revealed under the personal and relative distinc-
1
2
tions of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
III. OF THE FALL OF MAN.
That man was created in a state of holiness under the law of his Maker, but by voluntary transgression fell from that holy and happy state ; in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, not by constraint, but choice, being by nature utterly void of that holiness required by the law of God, wholly given to the gratification of the world, of Satan, and of their own sinful passions, and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin, without defence or excuse.
IV. THE WAY OF SALVATION.
That the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God, who took upon him our nature, yet without sin; honored the law by his personal obedience, and made atonement for our sins by his death ; being risen from the dead, he is now enthroned in heaven; and, uniting in his wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divivine perfections, is every way quali- fied to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Saviour.
V. OF JUSTIFICATION.
That the great Gospel blessing which Christ of his fulness bestows on such as believe in Him is Justification ; that Justification consists in the pardon of sin and the promise of eternal life, on principles of righteousness ; that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but solely through His own redemption and righteousness; that it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other blessing needful for time and eternity.
VI. OF THE FREENESS OF SALVATION.
That the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel ; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial and
--
·
----
3
obedient faith ; and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth, except his own voluntary refusal to submit to the Lord Jesus Christ, which refusal will subject him to an aggravated condemnation.
VII. OF GRACE IN REGENERATION.
' That in order to be saved, we must be regenerated, or born again ; that Regeneration consists in giving a holy disposition to the mind, and is effected in a manner above our comprehension or calculation, ` by the power of the Holy Spirit, so as to secure our voluntary obedi- ence to the Gospel ; and that its proper evidence is found in the holy fruit which we bring forth to the glory of God.
VIII. OF GOD'S PURPOSE OF GRACE.
That Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which he regenerates, sanctifies, and saves sinners; that being perfectly con- sistent with the free agency of man, it comprehends all the means in connection with the end ; that it is a most glorious display of God's sovereign goodness, being infinitely wise, holy, and unchangeable ; that it utterly excludes boasting, and promotes humility, prayer, praise, trust in God, and active imitation of his free mercy; that it encourages the use of means in the highest degree ; that it is ascer- tained by its effects in all who believe the gospel; is the foundation of Christian assurance ; and that to ascertain it with regard to our- selves, demands and deserves our utmost diligence.
IX. OF THE PERSEVERANCE OF SAINTS.
That such only are real believers as endure unto the end ; that their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distin- guishes them from mere professors ; that a special Providence watches over their welfare ; and they are kept by the power of God, through .. faith unto salvation.

x. HARMONY OF THE LAW AND GOSPEL.
That the law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government ; that it is holy, just, and good; and that the in- ability which the Scriptures ascribe to fallen men to fulfil its precepts, arises entirely from their love of sin ; to deliver them from which, and to restore them through a Mediator to unfeigned obedience to the holy law, is one great end of the Gospel, and of the means of grace connected with the establishment of the visible church.
.
XI. OF A GOSPEL CHURCHI.
That a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel, observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by his laws, and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by his word; that its only proper officers are Bishops or Pastors, and Deacons, whose qualifications, claims, and duties are defined in the Epistles to Timothy and Titus.
XII. OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER.
That Christian Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit, to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem our faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, with its purifying power; that it is pre-requisite to the privi- 'leges of a church relation, and to the Lord's Supper, in which the members of the church, by the use of bread and wine, are to com- memorate together the dying love of Christ; preceded always by a solemn self-examination.
XIII. OF THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH.
That the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, or Christian Sab- bath, and is to be kept sacred to religious purposes, by abstaining from all secular labor and recreations ; by the devout observance of all the means of grace, both private and public ; and by preparation for that rest which remaineth for the people of God.
5
XIV. OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
That civil government is of divine appointment, for the interests and good order of human society; and that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored, and obeyed, except in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the Prince of the kings of earth.
XV. OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED.
That there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked; that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and sanctified by the Spirit of our God, are truly righteous in his esteem; while all such as continue in impeni- tence and unbelief are in his sight wicked, and under the curse; and this distinction holds among men both in and after death.
XVI. OF THE WORLD TO COME.
That the end of this world is approaching; that at the last day, Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave to final retribution ; that a solemn separation will then take place ; that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment, and the righteous to endless joy ; and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell, on principles of righteousness.

CHURCH COVENANT.
As we trust we have been brought by divine grace to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the influence of his Spirit to give ourselves up to him, so we do now solemnly . covenant with each other, that, God enabling us, we will walk together in brotherly love.
That we will exercise a Christian care and watchfulness over each other, and faithfully warn, rebuke, and admonish one another, as the case shall require.
That we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor omit the great duty of prayer, both for our- selves and for others.
That we will participate in each other's joys, and endeavor with tenderness and sympathy to bear each other's burdens and sorrows.
That we will earnestly endeavor to bring up such as may be under our care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
That we will seek divine aid to enable us to walk circum- spectly and watchfully in the world, denying ungodliness and every worldly lust.
.
That we will strive together for the support of a faithful evangelical ministry among us.
That we will endeavor, by example and effort, to win souls to Christ.
And through life, amidst evil report and good report, scek to live to the glory of Him who hath called us out of dark- ness into his marvellous light.

Besides the recorded charities, donations (unrecorded) have been made for ministerial education, for feeble churches, and other benevolent objects at different times, amounting to no less than six hundred dollars, by a member of the church, whose Christian liberality has made him known far beyond the limits of his own town. Counting this with others, the sum of the church charities is 83,528 01; and with this in its column, the result from the whole table appears as follows : -
Expenses for the fifty years; several
and grand totals to Dec. 31, Ist . . $13,591 00

Table of Statistics of Membership, Loss, Gain, etc.
The number of baptisms cannot be absolutely certified. The total of additions is easily ascertained by deducting the original number, 35, from 350, the whole number of members in the church, between June 22, 1814, and Dec. 31, 1864. But the roll on which we depend for these general data makes no intelligible distinction of the admissions by baptism from those by letter ; and the account of these in the records is shown to be defective : for, adding together the 222 bap- tisms and 76 admissions by letter, recorded there, we obtain for the whole number of additions, even with the 7 restored and the 5 re-received after dismission, only 310; less by 5 than the true total of additions, which is 315. Distributing the 5 to the two uncertain numbers, we make out, by the fairest method that seems to be left us, 224 admissions by baptism and 79 by letter. The following is a synopsis of the statistics of the loss and gain of the church during the fifty years.
