CHURCH COVENM"'T Having given ourselves to God by Faith in Christ and adopted the

·ward of God as our rule of faith and practice, we now give ourselves to one another by the will of God in this solemn convenant. ·

We promise by His grace to love and obey Him in all things. To avoid all appearance of evil, to absta.in from all sinful amusements and unholy conformity to the world, from all sanction of the use and sale of intoxicating beverages, and to "provide things honest in the sight of all men."

We agree faithfully to discharge our obligations in reference to the study of the Scriptures, secret prayer, family devotions, and social wor­ship and by self denial faith and good works endeavor to "grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

We will not forget the assembling of ourselves together for church conferences; public worship and the observance of the ordinances of the Gospel, nor· fail to pay according to our ability for the support of the church, of its poor, and its benevolent work.

We agree to accept Christian admonition and reproof with meek­ness, and to watch over one another in love, endeavoring to "keep the unity of the Spirit" in the bonds of peace, to be careful of one another's happiness and reputation, and seek to strengthen the . weak, encourage the afflicted, admonish the erring and as far as we are able to promote the success of the church and of the Gospel.

We will everywhere, hold Christian principles sacred and Christian obligations and enterprises supreme; counting it our chief business in life

· to extend the influence of Christ in society, constantly praying and toil­ing that the Kingdom of God may come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. ;

. To this end we agree to labor for the promotion of educational and denominational enterprises, the support of Missions, the success of Sun­day schools, and evangelistic efforts for the salvation of the world. And may the God of peace sanctify us wholly and preserve us 'blameless unto the coming of our Jesus Christ.
