Preface. 
 
 fii ()flfeiin« this i.uuiual to the Cliuirh, in compliance with their 
 re(|ue,st, we do so, kn..winK well its incomi-leteness and defects. The 
 work lias been prosecute-l under such e -,lent dirticulties, and the gath- 
 (MiiiK together and the arrangement of the various data have been ac- 
 <.omplished but imperfectly, owing to the incompleteness of many of the 
 
 records. 
 
 We tiust that it may prove valuable, not only because of its his- 
 toric matter, but because of the impetus it may give to a better under- 
 standing and organization of our church work. 
 
 There are many items of interest we would fain have mentioned, 
 many names of men and won.cT. whose lives contributed in no sn.all 
 degree to the successful development of the church, but it was impos- 
 sible to do justice to them all in the limited space and time at our com- 
 mand ; so w(. hav,. given but a brief outline or sketch of the past 
 Quarter-Century, and now otter it to you, confident of the charitable 
 and sympathetic spirit in which it will bo received and read. 
 
 Yours Sincerely,

History of the Church. 
 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
 
 Tlic history <»t' infiny iiidividiuil <-hincl\es, like tlic Iiisti)ry of near- 
 ly all (leiioininatioiis, dates haek to eonditioiis of relif,'ious life, wliicli, 
 to say the least, fail to speak of that peace and unity in which it is so 
 pleasant for brethren to dwell, and yet the chronicler of those days in 
 which these churches or denominations found their natal day, even 
 thou,<,di he would fain pass over those conditions, must recite the facts 
 as they were, doiri^' so in the spiiit of those ^rand and mem(»rable words. 
 "With malice toward none, but with charity toward all." 
 
 In studying those conditions ecclesiastic, wliicli were, under the 
 overruling Providen3e of God, used to produce the healthful arul hope- 
 ful conditions of cliurch life in Embro to-day, one cannot fail to see in 
 those conditions, truths which, while familiar, are generally so abstract 
 that the material nuittei'-of-fact mind fails to gi-asp them as basal prin- 
 ciples of life. For instance, how often we ([uote scriptures like these, 
 "All things work togetber for good to them that love God," or "For 
 I am persuaded that the sufferings of this present time are nnt worthy 
 to be compared to the Glory that shall be i-evealed in us," and tliey 
 often mean but little more than as many pious platitudes ; and yet to- 
 day as we view those trying conditions of 1809-70 in the light of sub 
 setjuent development, we cannot fail to see the real connection between 
 those conditions which then tried the coui-age and the faith of the 
 strongest believer, and the peace, the unifierl spirit and the success of 
 t(t(lay. W(^ often sing those beautiful words of Cowpei- : 
 
 " (ii)l moves in ii iiiyslcrioiis wny, 
 His Wonders to iierforni. 
 Jle |)liiiil> liis footsteps on llie Se:i, 
 Antl rides upon tlii' slorni." 
 
 and yet how seldom, before the sea has calmed oi- tbe stftrm ceased, do we 
 recognize tbe fact that God has been dealing with us I There are many 
 Christians in the community to-dav, called by different church names

it may l)»>, pcopli' w li<i suflen'tl in tlioHC days wli»'ii ^fixA iiit'ii, wli.t for 
 yoars liad walked side hy side, now found it necessary to walk in 
 separate paths, and be called by different names ; times when <,'ood men 
 and wise differed in their eonce|)tions of truth, and so widely that a 
 separation was imperative, and which separation was accompanied l)\ 
 all the sadness and suffering,' with winch a family unity is sometimes 
 disrupted; these people who in those days saw ojdy the sea in turmoil 
 and tossed mountain-high in foaming billows, and who oidv lieai'd the 
 howling of the storm and felt its blasts beating pitilessly upon their 
 quivering, suffering souls, can to-day trace in that troubled sea, the 
 footsteps of Qod, and hear in those dark thunder-clouds and see in those 
 lierce lightning-Hashes, the rumblings a'.id the movements of (rorl's 
 chariot of Hre. 
 
 In the Fall and Winter (»f 1869-70 Evangelists Uussell an(i Carroll 
 were invited by the Session of Knox Church, to cotuluct a series of 
 evangelistic services ; these services were extended over a number of 
 weeks, with the result that sf»nie four hundred were led to make a i)ro- 
 fession of Christ as a personal Saviour. During the entire series of 
 meetings the interest manifested was phenomenal, the people coming 
 from miles around, through all kinds of disagreeable weather, to heai- 
 the message of Salvation as it fell from the lips of these two noble 
 evangelists of Christ. Toward the close of the meetings objections were 
 raised, by certain othcnal members of the church, to some of the iloc 
 trines as taught by .Messrs. Russell and Carroll, and this o])posing 
 spirit became so pronounced that the Session saw the advisability ■ )f «lis- 
 continuing the meetings so far as the evangelists were concerned. 
 When an announcement to tJiis effect was made, difference of opininn 
 was immediately i»ronounced, and the relations between the two parties 
 soon became so strained that a separatism was necessary, an<l those 
 who championed the cause of the evangelists withdrew from the fellow- 
 ship of Knox Church and gathered in various places to hear the mes- 
 sages of their ciiosen teachers. Sometimes these meetings were held in 
 private houses, sometimes in halls and school-houses, but more often 
 they gathered on a sloping hill-side, and listened with eagerness as their 
 teachers expounded to them the Word of Life. 
 
 Efforts were made by the London Presbytery to effect a reconcila- 
 tion, but in vain, atid so(m the Evangelicals, as they were caller!, found

 made, thr..u-h the kindness of friends, whereby the "Old Kirk" was 
 made available for their use ; here, for over a year, they were taught 
 by that esteemed and f,'odly man, the late Evangelist Henderson, 
 whose great and choicest theme w is "Holines.s unto the Lord." Then 
 Mr. Gen. C. Needham, an evangelist of repute, was invited to the oHice 
 of pastor ; he accepted the invitation, conditional upon their being 
 recognized by some evangelical denomination, which would in turn or- 
 .lai.rhim to "the ministry and as pastor over them. A deputation was 
 accordingly sent t.. the Congregati(mal Ur.ion, which met in Montreal. 
 
 \fter hearing the deputati<.n. the ITnion was pleased to accept this com- 
 pany ..f believers, and <m May loth, 1^72, they were organized into 
 
 what is n<nv known as the Ebenezei- C.mgregatic.nal Church of Embio. 
 
 Mr. Needham ren.ained only one year, but in that time his labors were 
 
 much ..wnerl of God. and enjoyed by the congregation to whom he min- 
 
 istere<l. 
 
 |{cv. . I.. hn Salmcn assumed the pastorate in 187:^, and remained 
 
 sexx-M years, during which time decided i.r..gr.'ss was n)ad.> in the life 
 ;iud organization of the church. 
 
 Hev. E. I). Silcox was called and assumed the pastoral «>ttice on 
 March 1st, 1881, and continued his services until April 1st, 18«),). 
 During the fourteen yeai-s of Mr. Silco.xs pastorate the work was car- 
 ried on in a way which acknowledged at once the blessing of (Jod, the 
 ..fibrts of a united i)eop]e and the earnest, zealous services of a faithful, 
 
 conscciated pastor. 
 
 |{ev. W. .). Hiudley assumed the pastorate August 18th, 18itr), and

 The retracing of these old paths lends a new strength to our faith, 
 an<l as we see those days of trial in the light of these days of ble.,sing 
 an<l i.eace, we can see" how God has ordered that from out those very 
 troubles His Glory should shine forth as the noon-day. The kindly i-e- 
 lations which now exist between the three churches of the village, as 
 evidenced in their freciuent Union Se.vices and the Local Union of the 
 Kndeavor Societies, all speak of His power which keeps us in that 
 "unity of the Spirit" which is the "Ixmd of peace."

 The subject of this sketch, Kev. (jleorgo C. Noedliain, tlic liist 
 pastor of the Embro Congregational Church, was called to minister t(» 
 these people, in the capacity of an evangelist, on the ISth of June, 
 1872, beginning his work in Jul}' of that same year. Mr. Needham 
 being convinced that the apostolic method of "laying on of hands," as a 
 recognition of the setting apart of a person to the ministi'y of Christ, 
 was obligatoiy on us to-day, requested that he be thus ordained. A 
 council was called, and Mr. Needham was tluis duly recognized as a 
 regularly ordained minister of the Gospel, and as pastor of this church. 
 Mr. Needham remained with the church only a year, as he was led to 
 believe that his life-work was to be that of an evangelist rather than 
 pastor. Tt was with regret that the people allowed him t<» l(>ave, but 
 they have been rejoiced to hear reports of him in his wider and larger 
 work. Mr. Needham has a continental reputation as an evangelist, 
 and a wirier reputation as an author ; some of his more widely r«>ad 
 productions are "Bible Br-iefs," "Bioken Bread" and "The Spiritual 
 Life."

 ItKV. .M»IIN SALMON. 
 
Ministry of Rev. John Salmon. 
 
 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
 
 The subject of this sketch, Rev. Jolin Salmon, was »:alle<l io lht» 
 pastorate in the summer ..f 187:5, preaching his first sermons on the 
 first Lord's Day of September in that same year, and continumg in the 
 pastorate till the 3rd of October, 1880. For over four years the ser- 
 vices were held in the "Old Kirk," during which time the pastor, by 
 Ins strong evangelistic preaching as heard in the Lord's Day services 
 and through the week in the school-houses of the surrounding country, 
 succeeded in gathering about him thosa whose loyal service and hearty 
 support have brought the work of the church to such a succe.ssful issue. 
 Durinc' Mr. Salmon's pastorate a very comfortable and handsome par 
 sonage^was built, the site being donated by the late Deacon Angus 
 McKay ; the ^otal cost of the parsonage was about !|1,700. 
 
 The next public work was the erection of a church edifice. This 
 was done after much prayer and consultation, the following gentlemen 
 acting as a building committee : John G. Rose. John Ross, James A. 
 Ross John Duncan, Dr. Duncan, Geo. McPherson and Hugh Mc- 
 Aula'y This work was completed at a cost of about .f 6,000, and the 
 building was dedicated to the Lord for public worship on Dec. IGth 
 1877, the preachers on that occasion being Revs. J. A. R. Dickson ami 
 
 Robert McKay. . . ^ i 
 
 Mr Salmon's pastorate was marked by frequent " times of refresh- 
 ing from the Lord," and in all about 112 perscms were .wlded to the 
 church on profession of their faith. 
 
 It was with much regret that the pastoral relation was severed on 
 the 3rd of October, 1880, and to-day Mr. Salmon's name is a cherished 
 name in many households, and his frequent visits are a source ot great 
 pleasure and profit. " His works do follow Inm.'

Ministry of Rev. E. D. Siltox. 
 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
 
 The subject of this sketch, Rev. E. D. Hilcox, was c.illtd to thi- 
 pastorate in March, 1881, and remained with the church till April, 181*'). 
 
 The small space allowed for tliese pastoral sketches must utterly 
 fail to record, in any fitting way, the work accomplished during that 
 fourteen j^ears' pastorate ; mentioning, as one would like to have done, 
 the happy relations existing between pastor and people throughout all 
 those years, the tender sympathies going from one to the other in time 
 of trouble, and the successes achieved by a loyal and united jieople. 
 
 When \Ir. Hilcox assumed the pastorate there was a debt of 
 several hundred dollars on the church property. This, largely due to 
 his energetic appeal, was soon wiped off, and an extra lot was iulded 
 to the parsonage property, purchaseil by the balance on hand after the 
 
 debt wa« paid off. 
 
 During Mr. SilC(jxs pastorate the church was strengthened num- 
 ericallv and spiritually, frequent series of revival service.! being the 
 means of large ingatherings, as many as thirty uniting with the church 
 at one communion, on confession of their faith. The meetings conduct- 
 ed by Rev. \. W. Main will long be remembered as special seasons of 
 blessing. His efforts, together with the pastor's assistance, under the 
 blessing of God, resulted in new and stronger spiritual life among the 
 Christians, and large numbers being led into the Way of Life. 
 
 On several occasions efforts were made by other churches to lead 
 Mr. Silcox to larger fields, but he seemed so strongly entrenched in the 
 affections of his people thai these efforts were unavailing, till at last, 
 h.iving repeatedly made overtures to him, the Congregational Church 
 in Paris, Ont., succeeded in their call, and Mr. 8ilcox, believing himself 
 to be divinely led, severed those relations which for fourteen years had 
 been so nmcli enjoyed, not only by himself, but by his people ; the 
 church was lotli to part with their pastor, but they bfwle him " God 
 Speed " in his new field of labor, and are rejoiced to heir, from time 
 to time, reports of liis woi-k which sjieak of the outpoured blessings of 
 God.

Ministry of Rev. W, J. Hindley. 
 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
 
 The present incunilM'i.t, Kcv. W. J. Hindley, was Ixun in Kioni.-. 
 Ont.. on November 10th, \H7:\ and is therefore of the .same a^fe as the 
 church to which he ministeis, V,. Hindley was called t<» the jtastor- 
 ate in July, 189'), preachinj,' his initial sermons on the Sabbath of 
 A.ujafU«t 18th of the ,<ame year. The services that day will hmj,' be 
 remembered both by pastor anrl pe(»ple. The text of the morninj; dis- 
 course was Gal. vl., 2: "liear ye orie another's burdens and so fnltill 
 the law rtf Christ," and was presenterl in its bearings upon the relatiojis 
 of pastor an(l people which had been assumed that day. fn the e\en- 
 inf,' the theme presentefl was ''Our Hope, Its I'.asis and Inspiration." 
 
 In the spring of 1896 the peojjle undertook some extensive repairs 
 and alteratitms in the church buildin<i:, which work was placed imd.'r 
 the management of the following gentlemen : .)as. A. Ross, (Jeo. .\. 
 Munro, John Campbell, John IL.ss, John Middleton, Timothy Feathei-- 
 son and William .Smith. The plans and specifications for the work 
 weie drawn and i)resented to the comuiittee by O. M. McKenzie, and 
 were carried into execution by H. A. Duncan, who acted, by recpiest of 
 the building committee, as superintend nt of works. This work havin" 
 been completed, the re-dedication services were held on the Sabbath of 
 October 27th, the Rev. A. F. McG^regor, of VVoolstock, preaching the 
 sermon at the morning service, on the theme of "The Life-Giving 
 Waters," and [)resenting the choir with tlie following dedicatory hynui :

 Sketch of the Sabbath School. 
 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
 
 This important (lepartmerit of Church Work has been i>r«.»sefiit«'(l 
 ever since the organization of the Church- -and here, during the 
 sessions of the Sabbath School, lives havtj been brouglit into touch 
 with teachers filled with the love of the Master, and only the Morning 
 will tell what has been accomplished during the past (juarter of a cen- 
 tury in»this tlepartment. The School has never been large in numliers, 
 owing to the fact that over one-half of the families in connection with 
 the Church live in the country at such a distance, that to return to the 
 session of the School in the aftt'i-noon', is out of the (juestion ; to meet 
 this dirticalty, the Home Class Department was organized some two 
 years ago, and an Interest in Sabbath School work was thus arousetl in 
 many homes, where before, the members of the family, both adults and 
 children, knew v(;ry little of what was transpiring in the Sabbath 
 School world. Some fifty names were on the original roll of this 
 department. 
 
 The average attendance at the School has been about 6') ; these 
 are divided into eight classes, all manned by efficient teachers. The 
 funds raised by the School amount to about #100 in the year, so that 
 while the School is self-supporting — paying out large sums for its 
 papers and lesson helps and buying quite a number of new books every 
 year for the library —it ;ilso sends ■|<15.00 annuall}' to Mission work. 
 A girls' class also contributes annually to the Leper .Mission, India. 
 
 While pursuing this work under great difficulties, the Church 
 has every reason to he proud of her workers in the Sabbath School 
 duting the.se past twenty-five years, and has reason to remember with 
 gratefulness, the services of those, who in other days, were identified 
 with this work, but who are now removed from our midst, some of 
 them having gone "to be with Him " " — - -_.-j- . _-. „^__.

 mission schemes. The funds of the Society, amounting in all to about 
 !<r».").UO in the yeai-, are raised in the following manner : Each membtjr 
 contributes five cents monthly for the current expenses, and a miteb^x 
 at the d<»or, in which contributions are placed, has always yielded sut'H- 
 cient for the .Missi<»n pledges. 
 
 The Kndeavor prayer meetings are heUl Sabbath evenings after the 
 Church service, and the business meetings are held the fii-.st Wednes- 
 day evening of each month. The Society has done much to supplement 
 the work of the Chui-ch, and the members readily respond to any ser- 
 vice requested of thenj by the pastor. The young people are here being 
 trained to take the responsible positions in the (rhurch otticial staff. 
 
 Studies in Congregationalism are now being introfluced among the 
 members, and the result will probably be a broadening of the religious 
 ideas and a deepening of the loyalty to - and a higher ideal of service 
 for— "Chrif.. and the Church."

 'I'liis Sofit'ty derives its iiaiiip fumi lli(! iclatidii wliirli it sustiiiiis 
 to the VV Oman's fJoard of Foreijjn Missionf ; its object is, tlieiefoie, 
 distinctly missionary. The history of the Woman's Auxiliary dates 
 hack to the early years of the Church orjijanizatiim, when a society, 
 t.ieii known as the Ladies Aid, did tlie work which is now done under 
 the new name. The f^adies Aid was <»r),'anized ntorc directly to 
 supplement th» work of the Church at home, their chief duties in those 
 days, bein;; the aiding «)f the needy j)oor and carin<i; for the sick and 
 afflicted in the conjj^rejfation. They also contribute,! liberally to many 
 of the 'finamrial schemes of the Church, atid were what their name 
 signified, a veritable Aid Society to the organizati(»n. 
 
 In April, 1894, a number of lailies met at the parsctaage, for the 
 purpose of forming a Foreign Missicm Hoard or Auxiliary. Mrs. 
 Roberts, of Toronto, explained the benefits to be derived from being 
 atfiliated with the Woman's Board of Missions, and then and there, 
 the ladies voted to send the .$10.00 which the Board lecpiires as a 
 membership fee. The Society meets on the Hecorid VVednesday of each 
 month at 3 p. m. in the lecture-room ()f the Church, for the study of 
 mission work and for prayer. Tiie result of these meetings has been a 
 decided increase in their interest in Foreign Mission work. The average ■ 
 attendance is only about nine members ; however, while numy of the 
 members are prevented from meeting with the Auxiliary because of the 
 distance between their homes and the place of meeting they i-espond 
 heartily to any ret|uest made by those who are [)rivileged to attend 
 
 [>uring the past year over .<!l.50.00 have been contributed to • 
 different branches of Foreign .Mission work, embracing the l.,eper 
 Mis.sion in India, the Famine fund, the Chisamba Hospital fund anti 
 the Chisamba Building fund, and this is probably an average of the 
 amount raised annually since the organization of the Tj;idies Aid, 
 though in former years, more money was expended on Home work and 
 less sent abroad. The funds of the Auxiliary are raised by a member- 
 ship fee of "jOc annufUly, and by dii-ect giving - no money being raised 
 by any (piestionable ir.ethod. - - . i: ,3=

 Sketch of the Anniversary Services. 
 
 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
 
 The services iu connection witli the Qiiaiier-CVMitury Aniiivcrsarv 
 held on Saturday and Sunday, July 10th and 11th, 1897, are worthy 
 of larger mention than our space will allow. The"*e were so many 
 fi[ood things said, so many happy memories recallefl, so many sympathies 
 blended, and so many old paths retraced, that our pen fails to do the 
 occasion justice. We were happy, in being able to see upon the plat- 
 form all those who have (K!cupied the pastoral office since the organiza- 
 tion of the Church — to look into the faces of Rev. George C. Needham, 
 of Plainfield, N.J.; Rev. John Sahnon, of Toronto, Ont.: Uev. E. D. 
 Silcox, of Paris, Ont., and the present incumbent, Rev. W. J, Hindley. 
 We would gladly have given a pen picture of the Saturday evening 
 meeting and have spoken in true synoptic style of each ex-pas'^or's 
 excellent address ; f»f the Sabbath morning service when we listened 
 to the clear, foi-ceful m(^ssa<ie of Uev. 'iecM-ge C. Needham, on Paul's 
 purpose to glorify God "whether by life or by death"; of the quiet hour 
 spent at the liCtrd's Table when we communed with each other and 
 witlf (iod the Father, (/hi'ist the Son, and the Ble.ssed Spirit ; of 
 that modest unpretentious, yet deeply spiritual meeting held over on 
 the lawn in front of the hom<^ of Mr. Angus McLeod ; of the beautiful 
 St-riptuial talk on the Tjord's retui-n ; of the dispensing of the sacra- 
 ment to those two dear old saints and their friends ; of the Sabbath 
 evening service? with its unioJi of .Methodist, Presbyterian and C<mgre- 
 gational forces : of the kin<l words spoken by Rev. E. Kershaw, the 
 pastor of the Methodist Church, and the congratulations presented by 
 Rev. (J. C. Patterson, of Knox Church ; of the solos of Mr. J. D. 
 .M«'Kenzie and .Miss Annie Duncan ; of the spiritual jiddresses of Revs. 
 Needham and Salmon Tof the beautiful floral decorations, the work of 
 skilled hands and artistic tastes, but space and time forbid— h<»wever, 
 enough has been said to recall to our memories those days of liappy, 
 inspiring, anniversary gatherings. Throughout all these services tliere 
 was the evident and open recognition of the goixl hand of the Ltird 
 which has been upon us, and so we go on with this woi-k, not knowing 
 what another Quarter-Century may bring forth, but confident in Him 
 who hath led us on thus far, and of whom we can truly say "that 
 not tme thing hath failed, of all the good things which the f..ord your 
 Gorl spake concerning you."

 Dearly lieloved : Grace be unto you, and peace from Hod our 
 Father and the Lord Jesus (Jhrist. You have ah'eady been examined, 
 and you now present yourself before God, His people, and the world 
 to make a solemn profession of your faith in Christ, and to publicly 
 consecrate yoursilf to His service. For this is the Word of Faith 
 whicli we preach : that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord 
 Jesus, and slialt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from 
 the dead, thou shalt be saved. 
 
 3TATKMKNT OF HKLIKF. 
 
 Article I. We believe in one God, infinite in every ijerfeclion, who is revcnicrl in 
 tlie Scriptures as the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 
 
 Article II.— We believe that the Providence of God, by which He executes His eternal 
 purposes in the government of the world, is in and over all events, yet so that the 
 freedom and responsibility of men are not impaired, and sin is the act of the 
 creature himself. 
 
 AiiTui.K III. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were 
 tii\ en by the iiis))iratinn of the Hily Spirit, and are the only infallible rule of faith 
 and i»iiictice. 
 
 AirricLE IV. -Wc believe in the fall of our llrsi parents and in the cnti'-e apostncy, 
 depravity and lost condition of the whole human family. 
 
 Article V.— We believe that the love of God to sinful men found its highest expression 
 ill the redemptive work of His Son : who became man, uniting His divine nature 
 with our human nature in one person ; who was tempted like other men, yet with- 
 out sin ; who by His humiliation, His holy obedience. His sutferinKs, His death cm 
 the cross, and His resurrection, became a perfect Redeemer; whose sacrifice of 
 Himself for the sins c,f the world, dt!clares tho HiKhteousness of God, and is the 
 sole and suflicient groiiud of forgiveness and reconciliation of man to God. 
 
 Article VI.— Wc bolievo that .Tosus Christ, after he had risen fnnn the dead, ascended 
 into Heaven, where, as the one mediator between God and man, he carries forward 
 His work of saving men ; that He sends the Holy Spirit to convi(!t them of sin and 
 to lead them to i-epentance and faith, and that those who through renewing grace 
 turn to righteo\isncss, and trust in .lesus Christ as their Redeemer, receive for His 
 sake the forgiveness of their sins and are made the children of God. i

 siinctifled character through followfihip with fhri«t. the indwelling of the Holy 
 
 , Spirit, and obedience to the Truth; that a holy life is the fruit and evidence of 
 saviuK f»lth. and that the believer's hope of continuance in such a life is in the 
 preserving Orace of Omi. 
 
 Akthle VIII. -We believe that the t'hurch of Christ, invisible and spiritual, comprises 
 all true believers, whose duty it is to associate themselves in churches for the main- 
 tenance of worship, for the promotion of spiritual growth and fellowship, and for 
 the converslo-.i of men ; that these churc'hes, under the K"irtance of the Holy 
 Scriptures and i fellowship with one another, may determine— each for itself— 
 their organization, statements of belief, and forms of worship, may appoint and 
 ' sot apart their own ministers, and should co-operate in the work which Christ has 
 coHimitted to them for ihe furtherance of the CJospcl throiiKhout the world. 
 
 A KTKI.E IX.- We believe in the divine appointment of the Christian Sabbath as a day 
 of holy rest and worship ; and in the two sacraments Christ has appointed for His 
 Church Baptism and the Lord's Supper and that all are under obligations in the 
 exercise of faith to observe them. 
 
 Ahticlk X. We believe in the ultimate prevalence of the Kingdom of Christ over all 
 the earth ; in the glorious appearing of the great Gotl and our Saviour Jesu.s 
 Christ; in the resurrection of the dead; and in a final .judgmenV the issues of 
 which .judgment are everlasting ))unishment and everlasting life.
