CONFESSION OF FAITH AND COV-
ENANT:

A FORM USED I.N '111 K ADMISSION OK MEMBERS.

You have presented yourselves tlms publicly before
God, to enter into covenant wil.li Him and to jinn yonr-
selves with His visible people. We trust you have well
considered the nature of these engagements. The trans-
action is solemn, and will lie attended with eternal con-
sequences. God i- looking on. STour vows will b<
recorded in h. -I \ I'n to he exhibited on your trial at the
last day.

You will attend to the Confession of Faith.

You believe that there is one God, the Father, Son
and Holy Ghost, infinite, eternal and unehangable in
wisdom, power and love.

You believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments are the Word of God, and the only infallible
rule of faith and practice.

You believe that man is sinful by nature and practice,
and that he needs to be born again of the Spirit of God.

You believe that Jesus Christ by His sufferings and
obedience atoned for the sins of the world, and that we
are justified by faith in Him.

You believe that there will be a resurrection of the
body; that the Lord Jesus Christ will descend from
heaven to judge the world ; and that He will receive
the saints to His heavenly kingdom, and doom the
wicked to everlasting fire.

All this you heartily believe.

Manual of th

(Baptism will here be administered to those who have
necer duly received the ordinance.)

And now, in the presence of God and this as-embly,
you do solemnly dedicate yourselves to God the Father,
us your rightful Sovereign and Chief Good ; to God the
Son, as your IVophet, Priest and Ming; and to God the
Spirit, as your Sanctiiier, Couiforter and Guide. To
this one God you do, in humble depe rule nee, heartily
»'ive up yourselves in an everlasting covenant, to walk
in all His commandments and ordinances blameless.

You do now cordially join yourselves to this, as a
Chureh uf Jesus Chri-t, engaging to submit to it- disci-
pline, itnd .••■ lemnl v cov 'minting to strive, as mueh as in
you lies, for its peace, edification and purity; Lu walk
with its members in Christian love, faithfulness, circum-
spection, meekness and sobriety; and abandoning the
sinful pleasures and amusements of the world, to prove
what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Thus yon covenant and engage.

(The members of the Church will here 'rise.)

And we do now affectionately receive you into our
fellowship. We agree to watch over yon with the
meekness and fidelity becoming saints, and as we wel-
come you to the privileges and holies ot our high calling
in Christ Jesus, so do we pledge you our sympathies
and prayer.-, while you share with us the toils, trials and
temptations of the Christian life.

Do not forget, beloved in the Lord, that you have
entered into solemn relations from which you can never
c-cape. Wherever you go, and whatever you arc. these
vows will be upon yon. They will folkiv. you to the
bar of God, and in whichever world you may be lived
they will abide upon you to eternity. Hereafter, the

Second Presiy (erian Ch arc /< .

eyes of the world will be upon you, and as you demean
yourselves, so religion will b< honored. or disgraced. If
y,m walk worthy of your profusion you will be a credit
1 and u eomfui-1 to us; but if it be othor\vi,e, you will bo
to us a grief of heart and a vexation. And if there i- a
woe pronounced on him who lays a stumbling block
before one of Christ's little ones, woe, woo to the person
who dors this to a whole church. "But, beloved, we
are persuaded better things of you, and things that
accompany salvation, though we thus speak." May the
Lord guide you till death, and at last receive you and us
to ihai biased world wlwiv «>ur lovo and joy shall bo
forever perfect. Amen.

Let us I'vur.

SYSTEMATIC BEiN EFICENCE.

We desire to remember that we are "stewards,' not
proprietors, and that ii is our duty, as it certainly is a
privilege and an honor, in all the use of God's property
entrusted to our care, to have chiefly in view the glory
of our I'odeemer and the welfare of our fellow-men! \\ e

ness of L'hecrful, considerate systematic, prayerful <riv-

I'lYshylcri.m Church, WO wish loyally I" support tlii
benevolent worli which theGeneral Assembly, .so largely
guided l>\ ( ln-i n.in wisdom and experience, has de-
vised. That benevolent work includes:

I. Porkigx Missions. — "Go ye, therefore, and
teach all nation., baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Matt,
xxviii; 19. The Kingdom of our Lord is to become
universal through the labors of His people. Of these
labors, He claims from us our share

II. IIomk Missions. — "Beginning at Jerusalem.'
Luke xxiv : 47. Every consideration of patriotic m and
Christianity requires us to aid in the Evangelization of

our own land.

III. Fricedmtcn's Causjb. — "Blessed is be that con-
sidered the pool-." Psalms xli: 1. The peculiar
condition and special wants of the freedmen call for
special attention and care.

IV. Education. — "Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of
the harvest, that lie would send forth laborers into Ilis
harvest." Lukex: 2. Ft is intended that no properly

qualified young man desiring to educate, himself for the
ministry, shall be obliged to relinquish thai purpose for
lack of means.

V. Publication. — "Let there be light.' (! in i
i: :s. Papers, tracts and books, printed by our Pui In n
tion Board, in behalf of evangelical religion, and in
illustration of Presbyterian history, polity and doctrine,
upon proper application, arc gratuitously distributed in
needy Holds, at home and abroad.

VI. (Jiiuuoii KiviiOTioN. — "He loveth our nation,
and He hath built us a synagogue." Lukeyii: 5. Without
a hoii.-e, the congregation languishes. It is economical
ami wise to secure l he rapid ;i owl h and earl \ independ-
ence ol mission churches by aiding ihem to build.

VII. Si; stent at ion. — "For the laborer is worthy
of his hire." Luke x : V. The salaries of settled past-
ors, serving generous but small and feeble churches, are
supplemented to prevent suffering and secure a degree

of comfort.

VIII. Ministerial LIki.ikf.— " But if any provide
not for his own, and especially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an
infidel." 1 Timothy v : 8. Men left without means of
support, after a life's service of the church in the min-
istry, and needy widow- and orphans of deceased clergy-
men of our church, arc aided upon the recommendation
of Presbytery.

In order that we may better advance this Benevob nl
Work in its various departments, according to tin prin-
ciples stated above, the Session have adopted, foi future
use, the follow ing
