APPENDIX T
"FORM OF ADMISSION INTO THE BRICK PRESBYTE- RIAN CHURCH,"
RECORDED IN THE SESSION MINUTES, APRIL 3D, 1829, AS THE "PRO- FESSION AND COVENANT," IN USE IN THE CHURCH, BUT NEVER BEFORE ENTERED ON THE MINUTES.
You have presented yourselves in this public manner, before God, to dedicate yourselves to his service, and to incorporate yourselves with his visible people. You are about to profess supreme love to God, sin- cere contrition for all your sins, and faith unfeigned in the Lord Jesus Christ. [Relying on the strength of divine grace, you are about to enter into a solemn covenant to receive the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as they are offered in the gospel, and to walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.] * We trust you have well consid- ered the nature of these professions and engagements. The transaction is solemn, and will be attended with eternal consequences. God and holy angels are witnesses. Your vows will be recorded in heaven, to be exhibited on your trial at the last day.
Yet be not overwhelmed with these reflections. In the name of Christ you may come boldly to the God of grace, and if you have sincere de- sires to be his, may venture thus unalterably to commit yourselves, and trust in him for strength to perform your vows.
Attend now to the Profession and Covenant.
In this public manner you do humbly confess and bewail the original and total depravity of your nature, the past enmity of your heart against God, the unbelief which has led you to reject a Saviour, and the mani- fold transgressions of your lives :- all which sins you do condemn and in your purpose forever renounce.
And now in the presence of God, his holy angels, and this assembly, you do, so far as you know your own hearts, solemnly avouch the Lord Jehovah to be your God and Portion and the object of your supreme love and delight; the Lord Jesus Christ to be your Saviour from sin and death, your Prophet to instruct you, your Priest to atone and intercede

APPENDIX T
for you [your Righteousness to justify you], your King to rule, protect, and enrich you; and the Holy Ghost to be your Sanctifier, Comforter, and Guide, to whom only you look for light, holiness, and peace.
To this Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, you do now without reserve give yourselves away in a Covenant never to be revoked, to be his willing servants forever, to observe all his commandments and ordinances, in the sanctuary, in the family, and in the closet. You do also bind yourselves by covenant to this church, to watch over us in the Lord, to seek our peace and edification, and to submit to the govern- ment and discipline * of the gospel as here administered. This you severally profess and engage.
(The ordinance of baptism, if not previously received, will here be administered.)
In consequence of these professions and promises, we f affectionately receive you as members of this church and in the name of Christ declare you entitled to all its visible privileges. [We welcome you to this fel- lowship 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 among us. Should you have occasion to remove, it will be your duty to seek, and ours to grant, a recommendation to another church, for here- after you cannot withdraw from the watch and communion of the saints without a breach of covenant. And now, beloved in the Lord,] } let it be impressed on your minds that you have entered into solemn relations which you can never renounce, and from which you can never escape. Wherever you are, whether continuing among us or seeking the same privileges elsewhere, these vows will remain. § They will follow you to the Bar of God; and in whatever world you may be fixed, will abide on you to eternity. You can never again be as you have been. You have unalterably committed yourselves, and henceforth must be the servants of God. Hereafter the eyes of the world will be upon you; and as you conduct yourselves, so religion will be honored or dis- graced. 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 us a grief of heart and a vexation.
"But, beloved,|| we are persuaded better things of you, and things
* In the MS. of Dr. Spring this reads "government, discipline, and ministrations."
In the MS. of Dr. Spring this continues, "we thus publicly declare you to be members of this church and entitled to all its visible privileges."
# In place of the bracketed words the MS. of Dr. Spring has, "and while we thus welcome you to this fellowship with us in the blessing of the gospel."
§ In the MS. of Dr. Spring the following sentence is here added, "they will bind you in whatsoever part of the earth you dwell."

that accompany salvation, though we thus speak." May the Lord sup- port and guide you through a transitory life, and after this warfare is accomplished, receive you and us to that blessed Church where our love shall be forever perfect and our joy forever full. Amen.
With slight verbal changes and omissions this form was still in use in 1869.
APPENDIX U
ORDER OF BAPTISM OF CHILDREN, 1866
In presenting this child to God in baptism, you avouch the Lord Jehovah to be your God, the Lord Jesus Christ to be your Redeemer, and the Holy Ghost to be your Sanctifier. You do hereby personally covenant, if God spare the life of this child, to teach it to read his Holy Word, to pray with it, to pray for it, and to teach it to pray; to instruct it in the principles of our holy religion, an excellent summary of which you will find in the catechisms of the Westminster Assembly and the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church; to walk before it in all the ordinances of the gospel; and by the strength of divine grace, to train it up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. This you sev- erally covenant and promise.
Then follows the prayer and the baptism.
APPENDIX V
ORDER OF THE COMMUNION SERVICE, 1875
1. At the close of the sermon the collection for the poor of the church shall be taken up.
2. After the collection shall have been received, the minister shall announce in substance that, "this church is now about to celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and that a cordial invitation is ex- tended to all persons in good standing in other evangelical churches to remain and take part in this service." And he shall also add that if any communicants are not now provided with seats on the floor of the church, they are requested to find places for themselves at the close of the singing of the following hymn.
