FORM  OF  ADMISSION.
You  have  come  into  the  house  of  God  to-day,  to  make
a  public  profession  of  your  fixith  in  Christ,  and  to  enter
into  covenant  with  His  peopk\  You  humbly  trust,  that
the  Saviour  has  forgiven  your  sins  and  enal)les  you  with
a  new  heart  to  say,  "  I  will  take  the  cup  of  salvation,  and
call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord.  I  will  pay  my  vows
unto  the  Lord  now  in  the  presence  of  all  His  people."
In  the  presence,  then,  of  the  Searcher  of  hearts,  of  the
great  cloud  of  witnesses,  and  of  this  congregation,  you
acknowledge  the  Only  Living  and  True  God  to  l)e  your
God.  You  here  renounce  everything,  Avliich  would  keep
you  from  a  Christian  life,  and  give  yourself  entirely  to
the  service  of  your  Eedeemer,  trusting  that  you  will  be
kept  from  falling  by  Him,  Who  hath  said,  "  My  grace  is
sufficient  for  thee."
In  the  belief,  that  you  have  prayerfully  considered  the
Articles  of  Faith  contained  in  the  manual  of  this  church,
and  are  able  to  "  answer  every  iiian,  that  asketh  of  you,  a
reason  for  the  hope  that  is  in  you,"  I  now  request  your
assent  to  this  outline  of  faith.
I  BELIEVE  in  One  God,  tlie  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of
heaven  and  earth;  and  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son  our
Lord,  the  One  sufficient  Saviour  and  Judge  of  all.
I  believe  in  the  Holy  Spirit,  Who  awakens  us  to  anew
life,  sanctifies  us,  comforts  us  on  our  way,  and  leads  us
to  our  Heavenly  Father.
I  believe  that  these  Three,  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit,
are  One  God,  and  are  the  same  in  power  and  glory.
I  believe  that  the  Holy  Scriptures  are  the  word  of  God,
