Form of Admission Beloved Friends: You have presented yourselves before God, and his people, and the world, to make solemn confession of your religious faith, and to take upon you everlasting obligations. We trust you have duly considered the nature of the professions you are about to make, and of the engagements into which you are about to enter. They will be heard on high, and will be exhibited on your trial at the last day. Yet be not disheartened. If you are sincerely desirous to be the Lord's, to believe all his declarations, and to obey all his commands, he will compassionate your weakness, will make you wise and strong by his power, and will conduct you safely to his heavenly kingdom.
Articles of Government And
We believe the Christian Sabbath to be a Divine Institution, and
promise to regard it as such.
