And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judg- ment. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was ; and the spir- it shall return unto God who gave it. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump ; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth, they that have done good unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation. And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead,
20
both of the just and unjust. When the Son of Man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. And before him shall be gathered all nations ; and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in the body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. But I say unto you, that every idle word, that men shall speak, they shall give an account thereof in the day of judg- ment. Then shall the King say unto them on the right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth ; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day nor night, who worship the beast, and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. The Son of Man goeth as it is written of him ; but wo unto that man, by whom the Son of Man is betrayed ! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Heb. 9: 27.

FORM OF ADMISSION.
You present yourselves in this public manner, before God, to dedicate yourselves to Him, and to join yourselves to his visible people. You are about to profess supreme love to Him, sincere repentance for all your sins, and faith unfeigned in the Lord Jesus Christ. You are to enter into a covenant to receive the FATHER, and the SON, and the HOLY GHOST as they are offered in the Gospel,
21
and, by divine grace, to walk in all the, commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. The transaction is solemn, and will be attended with eternal consequences. Your vows will be recorded in heaven, and will be exhib- ited to your joy or sorrow on your trial at the last day.
Yet be not overwhelmed. In the name of Christ, you may come boldly to the God of grace, and provided you have sincere desires to be his, may venture thus unalter- ably to make a covenant with Him, and trust in Him for strength to perform your vows. This, then, is your Covenant meditated by you in private, and now to be witnessed by angels and men.
COVENANT.
Believing myself to be by nature lost and ruined, and sensible of my just condemnation as a sinner, my only hope is in the mercy of God through the obedience and sufferings of Christ imputed to me and received by faith. I do solemnly and joyfully consent to this method of jus- tification, professing unfeigned repentance for my past sins, and accounting it still my duty to keep the law of God while I look to Christ as the end of the law for righteousness.
I hereby declare my belief in the Christian Religion as contained in the Holy Scriptures, and in such a view of it, substantially, as the articles of this church exhibit, heartily resolving to conform my life unto the rules of that holy religion as long as I live in the world.
In the presence of God, his holy angels, and this as-
22
sembly, I do now solemnly avouch the Lord Jehovah, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to be my God, the object of my supreme affection, and my portion forever. I cor- dially acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ in all his medi- atorial offices, Prophet, Priest, and King, as my only Saviour, and the Holy Spirit as my Sanctifier, Comforter, and Guide. I humbly and cheerfully devote myself to God in the everlasting covenant of his grace; I conse- crate all my powers and faculties to his service and glory, and I promise, that, through the assistance of his Spirit, I will cleave to him as my sovereign Lord ; that I will give diligent attendance to his word and ordinances, and seek the honor and interest of his kingdom ; and hence- forth, as one who professes to be born of God, I renounce the sinful customs and vanities of the world, and choose the God who made me to glorify and enjoy Him forever, for my chief good.
I do now cordially join myself to this Church of Christ, engaging to submit to the rules of ecclesiastical govern- ment and discipline, which it has adopted; to strive earnestly for its peace, edification, and purity, and to walk with its members in love, faithfulness, circumspec- tion, meekness, and sobriety.
This you severally profess and engage.
[If a part, only, or none, of the candidates are to be baptized, the' Minister will then say,]
(In regard to some of you,) We recognize with thank- fulness in this your consecration, the fruit of that dedica- tion of you to God, which was made in your early years. The sign of consecration to the Christian faith
23
was once placed upon you, and as you have now ratified, by your own act, the covenant then made for you, the seal of it need not be repeated.
[If any are to be baptized,]
. You who have not been baptized will now receive the sign of consecration to GoD in Baptism.
-
In consequence of these professions and engagements, we, the members of this church, [here the members of the Church rise,] affectionately receive you to our commu- nion, and in the name of Christ declare you entitled to all its privileges, We welcome you to this fellowship with us in the blessings of the gospel, and on our part engage to watch over you, and seek your edification, as long as you shall continue with us. And hereafter you can never withdraw from the watch, and communion of the Church of Christ, without a breach of covenant.
And now, beloved in the Lord, let it be impressed on your minds that you have entered into solemn obligations from which you can never escape. You have chosen God for your chief good, and his will for the guide, and for the end, of your being. Wherever you go, these vows will be upon you ; they will follow you to the bar of God, and will abide upon you to eternity. You have entered into a covenant with God from which no created being can ever release you ; neither shall any separate you from the rewards of its faithful observance. Here- after the eyes of the world will be upon you, and as you
24
demean yourselves, so religion will be honored or dis- honored ; if you walk worthily of your profession you will be a credit and a comfort to the Church of Christ, but if otherwise, an occasion of grief and reproach. May the Lord guide and preserve you till death, and at his appearing, may you be numbered by Him amongst his chosen, as you now are in his visible Church. AMEN.
ECCLESIASTICAL PRINCIPLES AND RULES.
June 10, 1822. In regard to. our ecclesiastical gov- ernment and discipline, with our sister churches in this commonwealth, we adopt the Congregational form, as contained in the Platform of Church Discipline, gathered out of the word of God, and agreed upon by the Elders and Messengers of the churches assembled in the Synod, at Cambridge, New-England, A. D., 1646.
Since the Church was constituted, the following rules, agreeing substantially with the New-England Platform, have been found useful; and are adopted as the rules of this Church.
I. Rights of the Church. This Church is indepen- dent, so far as relates to its internal organization, and the regulation of its affairs. It is amenable to no other ecclesiastical body, except by its own consent or accord- ing to regular and established Congregational principles. With these exceptions, it controls the admission, disci- pline, and removal of its members, according to its own understanding of the word of God.
II. Connection with other Churches. This Church will
25
extend to other Evangelical Congregational Churches, and receive from them that fellowship, advice, and as- sistance which the law of Christ requires. It will extend the usual rights of communion, and practice the mutual transfer of members. It holds itself bound to regard the decisions of regular mutual councils, and to seek the pro- motion of peace with all the churches of our Lord.
III. Transfer of Members. The Church will examine those members who apply for admission from other churches. It will give dismission of its members in reg- ular standing on their application with suitable reasons, and recommend them to the fellowship of other Churches. But members of this Church, removing from the city, shall be required to obtain their dismission within one year from the time of their removal, unless circumstances be such as to render a union with any other Church inexpe- dient ; and in such case they shall inform the Church why they had not requested a removal of their Church connection. And it shall be the duty of the clerk to report to the Church, at the annual meeting, the names of the members of this church who shall have removed from the city ; where they are, so far as may be known ; and the length of time they have been from the city ; with any other information which he may possess in relation to them, and which he may think will be useful to the Church. It is expected that members of other churches, who may wish to commune with this church for more than one year, will request a removal of their con- nection to us, unless they give satisfactory reasons for delay to the Pastor and Deacons.
IV. Rights of Members. Every member has a right to church privileges, unless forfeited by misconduct ; and
3
-
26
when thus forfeited, he can be deprived of them only by regular process. When accused, he has a right to know the explicit charges, and to have an open and candid hearing. No vote of censure shall be passed upon any member, except by the concurrence of a majority of the members present at a regular meeting.
V. Duties of the Church and its Members. It is the duty of this Church and its members to consult and seek the concurrence of their Pastor, in matters of discipline and internal regulations. It is the duty of the members to attend such stated meetings as are appointed by a vote of the church, unless providentially prevented. Any member having cause of complaint against another, should immediately seek to have it removed in a Christ- ian manner, Matt. 18th chap. 15th and 16th verses, being our guide, especially in cases of personal offence. Any member wishing to withdraw from this to another Church or denomination, should signify his wishes and his reasons, and apply in a proper spirit to be first re- leased from his obligations to this Church. Any other mode of withdrawing will be deemed irregular and cen- surable; and this Church holds itself bound to grant dismissions and recommendations to members in good standing, who conscientiously prefer any other evangeli- cal denomination of Christians, when they apply as stated above.
VI. Censurable Offences. This Church considers im- moral conduct, breach of express covenant vows, open neglect of acknowledged religious or relative duties, and avowed disbelief of the articles of faith to which the members have assented, as offences subject to the censure of the Church.
27
VII. Censures. The censures inflicted on offenders are private reproof, public admonition, or excommunica- tion, according to the aggravation of the offence.
VIII. Permanent Officers. The permanent officers of this Church are the Pastor or Pastors, and the Deacons.
To the Pastor pertains the office of Moderator. It shall be the duty of the Deacons to preside in the ab- sence of the Pastor, according to seniority ; to assist in the administration of the Lord's Supper, to distribute the charities of the church, and to aid the Pastor generally in the spiritual care of the flock.
IX, Annual Officers and Standing Committees. At the annual meeting for business, the following officers and Committees shall be chosen for the ensuing year :
1. A Clerk, who shall keep the records of the Church.
2. A Treasurer, to take charge of all monies belonging to the Church, and collected for religious and charitable objects ; and to make report at the annual meeting.
3. Two Auditors, to examine the Treasurer's accounts.
4. An Examining Committee, of which the Pastor and Dea- cons shall constitute a part, who shall examine all applicants for admission, and present in a written report, the names of such as they approve. Also to act as a Committee of Inquiry with regard to cases for Discipline.
5. A Committee on Music, in concurrence with the Society, to superintend that part of Public Worship.
6. Committees, of whom the Pastor, ex-officio, shall be Chairman, on Religious and Benevolent Societies.
X. Standing Rules.
1. All meetings for business shall be opened with prayer.
2. The annual meeting for the choice of Officers and Stand- ing Committees, shall be on the last Wednesday evening in January.
2S
3. All Standing Committees and Annual Officers shall be chosen by ballot.
4. Candidates for admission are to stand propounded to the Church for at least three weeks ; and notice shall be given to the congregation of such as are expected to make a profession, at least two weeks previous to profession. Public admissions take place on the first Sabbath of January, April, July, Octo- - ber ; and at other seasons, when specially important.
5. All persons admitted to the Church shall be required to sign our Confession of Faith.
6. The Church will observe the sacrament of the Lord's Supper on the afternoon of the first Sabbath of every month. Ordinance of Baptism to Infants administered on the morning of the same day.
7. The Church meets on Friday evening for devotional ex- ercises and religious conference, to promote their growth in Christian knowledge and piety.
8. Church members should provide themselves with regular seats in the house of worship ; and free seats, in proper cases, will be furnished on application to the Deacons or Treasurer of the Society.
9. Church members intending to be absent for a considera- ble length of time should make it known to the Pastor or Dea- cons ; and take either a letter of dismission to some particular church, or a general letter of recommendation, which has been prepared for the purpose.
XI. Alterations. No alteration shall be made in the foregoing principles and rules unless at a regular meet- ing of the church, it having been proposed at the next regular meeting previous, and by vote of three-fourths of the members present.
