The number was Twenty-two."

CONFESSION OF FAITH.
Stand fast in the faith. 1 Cor : 1 6: 13.
0 S a church of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, associated in accordance with the teachings of the New Testament, for the public worship of God, for the observance of Gospel Sacraments and Ordinances, for mutual edification and encouragement in the Christian life, and for the advancement of the Redeemer's King- dom, we declare our union in Faith and Love " with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sin- cerity."
1. Receiving the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the Word of God and the only infal- lible rule of religious faith and practice, we confess our faith in the One living and true God, revealed as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; the Crea- tor and Preserver of all things, whose purposes and
13
providence extend to all events, and who exercises a righteous government over all His creatures.
P. 19 : 7. 9. 2 Tim. 3: 16, 17. Heb. 1: 1, 2. 2 Pet. 1: 21. Ec. 3: 14. Deu. 6: 4. 1 Cor. 8: 6. Heb. 1: 10. Phil. 3: 21. Jn. 2: 24, 25. Is. 9 : 6, 1. Jn. 5: 20. Matt. 8: 2, 3.

2. We believe in the universal sinfulness and ruin of our race, since " By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
Ps. 51 : 5. Rom. 3: 10. Ec. 8: 11. 1 Ju. 1: 8. Ep. 2: 3. Eph. 4: 15, 16. Ac. 2: 42. Heb. 10: 24, 25. Eph. 3: 10. Jn. 13: 34.
3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, having taken upon Himself our nature, has, by his obedience, sufferings, and death, provided a way of salvation for all mankind; and that through faith in his name, whosever will, may be saved.
Is. 53 : 5, 7. Matt. 1: 21. Phil. 2: 6, 8. 1 Jn. 4: 10. Matt. 26: 28. Ep. 1 : 7. Ac. 4: 12. 1 Jn. 2: 2. Rev. 22: 17. Jn. 3: 16. Ac. 3: 19. Ac. 16: 31.
4. We believe that although salvation is offered freely to all, they only repent and believe in Christ who, in thus obeying the gospel, are regenerated by the Holy Spirit ; and that all who are thus regener- ated are " kept by the power of God, though faith unto salvation.".

Do you thus solemnly profess to believe?
C
COVENANT.
Let us give ourselves unto the Lord in a perpetual covenant, never to be broken. Jer. 1: 5.
1820255
CCEPTING this as the faith of this Church, you who now present yourselves to be re- ceived into its fellowship, do by this act avow your personal sense of the love of God in the forgiveness of your sins ; and, trusting that He who hears and answers prayer, will uphold and strengthen you, you do give yourselves to the Lord Jesus Christ, and covenant to be His disciples, receiving Him as your only Priest and Propitiation, your great Teacher, Lawgiver and King; you dedicate yourselves to God as the object of your highest love, and to His service as your highest joy ; engaging to walk with us in the due observance of Christian
16
ordinances, and that, by the aid of the Divine Spirit, you will honor your profession by a con- stant Christian Life.
.
Do you thus covenant with God and with this Church ?
BAPTISM.
The Pastor will first address those who have been baptized in in- fancy, as follows :
You, who were dedicated to God in your child- hood in the ordinance of Infant Baptism, by your believing parents, do hereby declare your personal acceptance of the same, and your belief that the regeneration hereby signified has been wrought in your soul by the Holy Spirit.
Then to the others the Pastor will say :
You, who trust that your hearts have been renewed by the Holy Spirit, but who have never received the outward seal of the covenant, will now upon this profession of your faith and consecrating vow, present yourselves for the ordinance of Baptism.
When Baptism has been administered, the Pastor, having requested the members of the Church to rise, will read the following Response of the Church :
We then, the members of this Church, in view of
r
17
these your professions and engagements, do joyfully and affectionately receive you to this Communion, and welcome you to this fellowship with us in the bless- ings of the Gospel and in the service of our Divine Redeemer.
We covenant to love and watch over you, and in Christian fidelity to seek your advancement in the life and likeness of Him whose name we bear. And now, beloved of the Lord, let it be impressed upon your minds that you have entered into solemn en- gagements from which you can never escape. Wher- ever you go, these vows will be upon you. They will follow you to the bar of God, and abide upon you to eternity. May you walk worthy of God, and of your profession ! May the Lord guide and pre- serve you till death ; and at last receive you and us to that blessed world, where our love and joy shall be forever perfect. And unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
Here the Pastor may give the Right Hand to each person, with such brief words of Jesus as he may be pleased to add.
