ARTICLES OF FAITH. I. We believe in One God, the Father, tlie Son, and tlie Holy Ghost ; the Almighty Maker, Preserver, and Ruler of all things : infinite and unehangeable in wisdom, holi- ness, justice, goodness and truth. II. We believe that man was originally upright, that our first parents, being able to choose between good and evil, freely sinned and fell, and that, consequently, all their descendants, having that disposition which leads, but does not compel them, to sin, are likewise sinners and under tlie condemnation of God. HI. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and Xew Testaments are given by the inspiration of God, find are a perfect rule of Faith and Practice. IV. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, took on Him our nature, being born of the A^irgin Mary, and be- came our Prophet, speaking, as never man spake, of the will of God concerning us : and our Priest, presenting our prayers, and, in the voluntary offering of His own life, providing a perfect atonement for all who trust in Him. We believe that He rose from the dead the third day, and ascended on high, where He ever livetli to make inter- cession for His people, and as King receives their adora- tion and prayers, ruling over, defending, forgiving, and justifying them by His infinite mercy. 1
