The following Articles of Faith were read and adopted without a

dissenting voice:

ARTICLE 1. OF GOD AND THE HOLY FAMILY:

We believe in one only true and living God, who rules all things af-

ter the council of His own will; and that He who created all things is

infinite in power, wisdom, knowledge and goodness; eternal, immortal,

invisible and unchangeable ; and that this God has revealed Himself

in His word, under the character of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, andthat these three are one; and that there are 3 that bear wit-

ness in earth; The water, the spirit and the blood, and that these

agree in one.

ARTICLE 2. OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES:

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testsment

are the written word of God. And are a sufficient rule of iaith and

practice; that they are given by inspiration of God, and are profitable

for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and :or instruction in right-

eousness; and that they eondain all things necessary to be known for

the salvation of men.

ARTICLE 3. OF THE ATONEMENT:

We believe that Christ died and made a complete atonement for all

who ever did, does now or ever will believe on His name; and that all

who are finally saved were given to Christ in Covenant of the Fatherbefore the world was, that they should show forth his praise.

ARTICLE 4. Of FOREKNOWLEDGE, ELECTION & PREDESTINATION:

We believe that (all) whom God did foreknow He did also predesti-

nate to be conformed to the image of His Son. that God elected, ac-

cording to His foreknowledge through sanctification of the spirit, un-to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, to an inheri-

tance in corruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved

in heaven for all saints, and that none come to Christ, only those

whom He loved with an everlasting love, and in due time calls to

everlasting glory.

ARTICLE 5:

We believe in the doctrine of original sin.

ARTICLE 6.

We believe in Man's impotency to recover himself from the fallen

state he is in by his own free will and ability.

ARTICLE 7:

We believe that sinners dre justified in the sight of God only by the

imputed righteousness of Christ.

ARTICLE 8:

We believe that God's elect will be called, converted, regenerated,

and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

ARTICLE 9:

We believe the saints shall be preserved in grace and

never finally Ml away.

ARTICLE 10:

We believe that baptism and the Lord's supper are ordinances of

Jesus Christ and that true believers are the only proper subjects of

these ordinances, and that baptism is by immersion.

ARTICLE 11:

We believe in the resurrection of the dead and a gen-

eral judgement.

ARTICLE 12:

We believe that punishment of the wicked will be eternal, and

the joys of the righteous everlasting.

ARTICLE 13:

We believe that no Minister has the right to administer the ordin-

an'ce only to such as are regularly called and have come under theimposition of the hands of the presbytery.

ARTICLE 14:

We believe in Predestination, as taught in the scripture and prea-ched by the Apostle Paul and condemn the doctrine of the absolutepredestination of all things.

ARTICLES OF FAITH

Article 1.—Of God and the Holy Family.—We belie re in one

only true and living God, who rules all things after the counsel of

His own will; and that He who created all things is infinite in

power, wisdom, knowledge and goodness; eternal, immortal, in-

visible and unchangeable ; and that this God has revealed Himself

in His word, under the character of Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

and that these three are one; and that there are three that bear

witness in earth : The water, the spirit and the blood, and that

these agree in one.

Article 2.—Of the Holy Scriptures.—We believe that the HolyScriptures of the Old and New Testament are the written word of

God. And are a sufficient rules of faith and practice ; that they

are given by inspiration of God, and are profitable for doctrine,

for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness;

and that they contain all things necessary to be known for the

salvation of men.

Article 3.—Of the Atonement.—We believe that Christ died andmade a complete atonement for all who ever did, does now or

ever will believe on His name ; and that all who are finally saved

were given to Christ in Covenant of the Father before the world

was, that they should show forth his praise.

Article 4.—Of Foreknowledge, Election and Predestination.—Webelieve that (all) whom God did foreknow He did also predestinate

to be conformed, to the image of His Son, that God elected, accord-

ing to His foreknowledge through sanetifieation of the spirit, unto

obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, to an in-

heritance in corruptible and undefied, and that fadeth not away,reserved in heaven for all saints, and that none come to Christ,

only those whom He loved with an everlasting love, and in due

time calls to everlasting glory.

Article 5.—We believe in the doctrine of original sin.

Article 8.—We believe that God's elect will be called, converted,regenerated, and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Article 9.—We believe the saints shall be preserved in grace andnever finally fall away.

Article 10.—We believe that baptism and the Lord's supper are

ordinances of Jesus Christ, and that true believers are the onlyproper subjects of these ordinances, and that baptism is by im-mersion.

Article 11.—We believe in the resurrection of the dead and ageneral judgement.

Article 12.—We believe that punishment of the wicked will beeternal, and the joys of the righteous everlasting.

Article 13.—We believe that no Minister has the right to ad-

minister the ordinances only to such as are regularly called andhave come under the imposition of the hands of the presbytery.

tures and preached by the Apostle Paul and condemn the doctrine
