THE  OLERK  OT  THE  OHUEOH. 

BT  EEV.  S.  L.  GEEOULD,  HOLLIS,  N.  II. 

'  :ie  importance  of  the  position  of  a 
church  clerk  can  hardly  be  overrated.  If 
it  is  supposed  that  Uny  member  who  could 
write,  and  would  take  it,  is  thereby  quali- 
'fied,  it  betrays  a  lack,  of  understanding  of 
the  duties  of  the  o£ace.  The  clerk  is  not 
simply  the  custodian  of  the  records,  who 
inscribes  therein  some  of  the  more  impor 
taut  transactions  of  the  church,  but,  if  he  is 
what  he  should  be,  he  is  writing  the  present 
history  of  the  church,  and  so  he  ought  to  be 
a  person  with  special  qualifications  for  the 
office.  Many  of  l^ie  transactions  of  the 
church,  and  events  connected  with  it,  which 
he  records,  might  seem  trivial  when  they 
were  entered,  yet  the  time  may  come  when 
they  will  have  great  importance.  A  few 
years  ago,  the  writer  received  a  letter  from 


ila  firm  of  solicitors  in  one  of  the  South 
j  American  States,  asking  the  date  of  bap- 
I  tism  of  an  infant,  born  to  members  of  his 
1  church  more  than  seventy-five  years  before. 
(This  was  needed  to  determine  some  point 
1  in  the  settlement  of  a  large  estate  accumu- 
lated by  this  person  in  that  distant  land. 
But  if  he  were  baptized,  as  he  probably  was, 
jino  record  was  made  of  it,  and  the  date 
j  could  not  be  furnished.  In  one  church 
iwith  which  I  am  acquainted  no  records  of 
]  infant  baptisms  were  made  from  1766  to 
1 1851,  although  the  pastor  in  1802  records 
[that  he  had  baptized  253  since  1793. 

In  all  cases  the  records  should  be  full  and 
I  explicit,  covering  not  only  all  of  the  action 
I  of  the  church  in  its  meetings,  but  the  im- 
j  portaut  events  of  its  current  history,  so  that 
-jy  their  aid  one,  ^'ould  be  able  at  any  time 
I  to  write  its  history.  As  it  is,  in  many  cases 
lit  would  be  impossible  to  do  this.  In  a  cer- 
Itain  church  that  has  raised  up  and' sent  out 
Inearly  a  score  of  ministers,  besides  many 
lothers  who  are  occupying  important  places 
lin  the  church  and  State,  and  noted  in  all 
Ithe  years  for  the^intelligence  of  its  people, 
pthere  Were  forty  consecutive  years  before 
Sjl800,  and  eight  years  following  1850,  when 
I  no  scrap  of  record  was  made,  though  in 
1  those  years  the  church  had  an  active  and 
I  faithful  minister,  and  was  one  of  the  stronger 
I  churches  in  the  State.  This  loss  never  can 
I  be  made  up. 


In  any  church  ti'><^re  ought  to  be  some 
man  or  woman  wlio  should  have  an  interest 
in  such  work,  having  something  of  a  his- 
torical taste.  Such  an  one  would  do  the 
work  well,  and  it  would  be  no  burden.  It 
is  better  that  he  be  not  the  minister,  for  he 
is  the  moderator,  and  is  liable  at  some  time 
to  be  an  interested  party  in  some  of  the 
transactions  of  the  church.  Besides  this, 
in  these  times  his  pastorate  is  generally  so 
short  that  he  does  not  have  the  opportunity 
to  acquire  that  intimate  knowledge  of  the 
church's  past  hfstory  that  would  qualify 
him  to  do  the  work  well.  The  proper  per- 
son being  found  for  the  office,  he  should  be 
continued  in  it  fJ^i'an  indefinite  period. 

The  ideal  church  clerk  will  keep  his  rec- 
ords in  such  a  way  that  he  can  make  to  the 
church  a  full  ariid  accurate  annual  report, 
as  the  history  of  the  church  for  the  previous 
year,  and  to  the  State  statistical  secretjtry — 
for  the  Minutes  and  Year-Book — correct  and 
prompt  returns.  A  complaint  is  sometimes 
made  on  account  of  the  delay  of  these  pub- 
lications, but  in  most  cases  the  cause  is  the 
delay  of  a  few  of  the  clerks  to  send  in  their 
returns.  Besides  the  history  of  the  church, 
the  records  ought  to  contain  a  chronologi- 
cal list  of  all  its  members,  so  indexed 
that  a  name  ca»  be  referred  to  at  once. 
In  case  a  member  dies,  the  date  of  death 
should  be  placed'^gainst  the  name ;  if  dis- 
missed, the  date,  and  the  church  to  which 
he  is  dismissed,  should  be  given  in  this  list. 
"When  a  female  member  marries,  her  hus- 
band's name  should  be  entered  against 
hers.  If  one  of  the  niembers  moves  out  of 
town  without  a  letter,  by  correspondence 
the  clerk  should  keep  informed  of  his  ad- 
dress, and,  so  far  as  he  can,  of  his  spiritual 
life.  He  should  also  keep  a  list  of  the  in- 
fant baptisms,  giving  not  only  the  date,  but 
the  full  name  of  the  child,  of  both  parents, 
and  the  date  of  the  child's  birth.  It  is  also 
well  to  have  a  chronological  list  of  the  min- 
isters, deacons,  clerks,  treasurers,  commit- 
tees, delegates,  etc.,  with  the  date  of  ap- 
pointment and  retirement,  a*id  other  desir 
able  information  against  each  name.  All 
this  involves  work,  but  it  is  important 
work.  The  annual  reports  which  a  clerk 
Imakes  to  the  church  will  show  whether  he 
is  doing  his  dutyi'  faithfully.

THE  CONGREGATIONAL  CREED 


OF  1883 

Formulated  by  a  Committee  of  the  National  Council  of  Congregational 
Churches. 


I.  We  believe  in  one  God,  the  Father  Al- 
mighty, Maker  of  heaven  and  earth,  and  of  all 
things  visible  and  invisible  ; 

And  in  Jesus  Christ,  his  only  Son.  our  Lord, 
who  is  of  one  substance  with  the  Father ;  by 
whom  all  things  were  made ; 

And  in  the  Holy  Spirit,  the  Lord  and  Giver  of 
life,  who  is  sent  from  the  Father  and  Son,  and  who, 
together  with  the  Father  and  Son,  is  worshiped 
and  glorified. 

n.  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  man 
are  not  impaired,  and  sin  is  the  act  of  the  creature 
alone. 

in.  We  believe  that  man  was  made  in  the 
image  of  God,  that  he  might  know,  love  and  obey 
God,  and  enjoy  him  forever;  that  our  first  parents 
by  disobedience  fell  under  the  righteous  condem- 
nation of  God ;  and  that  all  men  are  so  alienated 
from  God  that  there  is  no  salvation  from  the  guilt 
and  power  of  sin,  except  through  God's  redeeming 
grace. 

IV.  We  believe  that  God  would  have  all  men 
return  to  him ;   that  to  this  end  he  has  made  him- 


Jli 


14 


self  known,  not  ohiy  through  the  works  of  nature, 
the  course  of  his  providence,  and  the  consciences 
of  men,  but  also  through  supernatural  revelations 
made  especially  to  a  chosen  pe' pie,  and  above  all, 
when  the  fullness  of  time  was  come,  through  Jesus 
Christ,  his  Son. 

V.  We  believe  that  the  Scriptures  of  the  Old 
and  New  Testaments  are  the  record  of  God's  reve- 
lations of  himself  in  the  work  of  redemption  ;  that 
they  were  written  by  men  under  the  special 
guidance  of  the  Holy  Spirit;  that  they  are  able  to 
make  wise  unto  salvation ;  and  that  they  consti- 
tute the  authoritative  standard  by  which  religious 
teaching  and  human  conduct  are  to  be  regulated 
and  judged. 

VI.  We  believe  that  the  love  of  God  to  sinful 
men  has  found  its  highest  expression  in  the  re- 
demptive work  of  his  Son,  who  became  man, 
uniting  his  divine  nature  with  our  human  nature  m 
one  person  ;  who  was  tempted  like  other  men,  yet 
without  sin;  who,  by  his  humiliation,  his  holy 
obedience,  his  sufferings,  his  death  on  the  cross, 
and  his  resurrection,  became  a  perfect  Redeemer  ; 
whose  sacrifice  of  himself  for  the  sins  of  the  world 
declares  the  righteousness  of  God,  and  is  the  sole 
and  sufficient  ground  of  forgiveness  and  of  recon- 
ciliation with  him. 

VII.  We  believe  that  Jesus  Christ,  after  he  had 
risen  from  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  convict  them  of  sin,  and  to 
lead  them  to  repentance  and  faith  ;  and  that  those 


15 


who  through  renewing  grace  turn  to  righteous- 
ness, and  trust  in  Jesus  Christ  as  their  Redeemer, 
receive  for  his  sake  the  forgiveness  of  their  sins,  and 
are  made  the  children  of  God. 

VIII.  We  beUeve  that  those  who  are  thus  re- 
generated and  justified  grow  in  sanctified  character 
through  fellowship  with  Christ,  the  indwelling  of 
the  Holy  Spirit,  and  obedience  to  the  truth  ;  that  a 
holy  life  is  the  fruit  and  evidence  of  saving  faith; 
and  that  the  believer's  hope  of  continuance  in  such 
a  lift  is  in  the  preserving  grace  of  God. 

IX.  We  believe  that  Jesus  Christ  came  to  es- 
tablish among  men  the  kingdom  of  God,  the  reign 
of  truth  and  love,  righteousness  and  peace;  that  to 
Jesus  Christ,  the  Head  of  this  kingdom,  Christians 
are  directly  responsible  in  faith  and  conduct ;  and 
that  to  him  all  have  immediate  access  without 
mediatorial  or  priestly  intervention. 

X.  We  believe  that  the  Church  of  Christ,  in- 
visible and  spiritual,  comprises  all  true  believers, 
whose  duty  it  is  to  associate  themselves  in 
churches,  for  the  maintenance  of  worship,  for  the 
promotion  of  spiritual  growth  and  fellowship,  and 
for  the  conversion  of  men  ;  that  these  churches, 
under  the  guidance  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  and  in 
fellowship  with  one  another,  may  determine — 
each  for  itself — their  organization,  statements  of 
belief,  and  forms  of  worship  ;  may  appoint  and  set 
apart  their  own  ministers,  and  should  co-operate 
in  the  work  which  Christ  has  committed  to  them 
for  the  furtherance  of  the  gospel  throughout  the 
world. 

XI.  We  believe  in  the  observance   of  the 


16 


Lord's  Day  as  a  day  of  holy  rest,  and  worship  ;  in 
the  ministry  of  the  Word  ;  and  in  the  two  Sacra- 
ments which  Christ  has  appointed  for  his  Church  : 
Baptism,  to  be  administered  to  believers  and  their 
children,  as  the  sign  of  cleansing  from  sin,  of 
union  to  Christ,  and  of  the  impartation  of  the  Holy 
Spirit ;  and  the  Lord's  Supper,  as  a  symbol  of  his 
atoning  death,  a  seal  of  its  efficacy  and  a  means 
whereby  he  confirms  and  strengthens  the  spiritual 
union  and  communion  of  believers  with  himself 

XIL  We  believe  in  the  ultimate  prevalence  of 
the  kingdom  of  Christ  over  all  the  earth  ;  in  the 
glorious  appearing  of  the  great  God  and  our  Sa- 
viour Jesus  Christ ;  in  the  resurrection  of  the  dead  ; 
and  in  a  final  judgment,  the  issues  of  which  are 
everlasting  punishment  and  everlasting  life. 


FORM  OF  SERVICE  FOR  THE 
RECEPTION  OF  MEMBERS 


At  the  opening  of  the  Communion  service  all 
candidates  for  membership  will  take  seats  at  the 
front  of  the  congregation. 

(Those  who  would  unite  with  the  Church  by  confession  will  rise,  to 
whom  the  minister  shall  say:) 

"  What  shall  I  render  unto  the  Lord  for  all  his 
benefits  toward  me?  1  will  take  the  cup  of  salva- 
tion and  call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord.  I  will 
pay  my  vows  unto  the  Lord  now  in  the  presence  of 
his  people." 

"  Whosoever  therefore  shall  confess  me  before 
men,  him  will  I  confess  also  before  my  Father 
which  is  in  heaven." 

"  For  with  the  heart  man  believeth  unto 
righteousness ;  and  with  the  mouth  confession  is 
made  unto  salvation." 

Dearly  beloved,  called  of  God  to  be  his  children 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  you  are  here,  that 
in  the  presence  of  God  and  his  people  you  may 
enter  into  the  fellowship  .ind  communion  of  his 
Chui  ch. 

You  do  truly  repent  of  your  sins ; 

You  heartily  receive  Jesus  Christ  as  your  cru- 
cified Saviour  and  risen  Lord; 

You  consecrate  yourselves  unto  God  and  your 
lives  to  his  service  ; 


18 


You  accept  his  word  as  your  law,  his  Spirit  as 
your  Comforter  and  Guide  ;  and  trusting  in  his 
grace  to  confirm  and  strengthen  you  in  all 
goodness ; 

You  promise  to  do  God's  holy  will, and  to  walk 
with  his  Church  in  the  truth  and  peace  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ ; 

You  purpose  to  work  for  the  salvation  of  this 
community  as  God  shall  lead  you  ; 

To  be  regular  and  faithful  in  attendance  upon 
the  meetings  of  this  church,  and  to  bear  your  part 
in  its  activities ; 

To  do  what  in  you  lies  to  lift  up  the  fallen  and 
help  the  weak ; 

To  actively  oppose  by  word  and  deed  every 
evil  in  the  community  ; 

To  cheeriully  bear  your  share  of  the  burdens, 
responsibilities  and  sacrifices  involved  in  carrying 
on  the  work  of  this  church? 

( Response  of  candidates  :    I  do.) 

Accepting,  according  to  the  measure  of  your 
understanding  of  it,  the  system  of  Christian  truth 
as  set  forth  in  the  Word  of  God  and  interpreted  to 
your  conscience  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  you  join  with 
ancient  saints,  with  the  church  throughout  the 
world,  with  us,  your  fellow-believers,  in  humbly 
and  heartily  confessing  your  faith  in  the  Gospel, 
saying, — 

"  I  believe  in  God,  the  Father  Almighty, 
MaUer  of  heaven  and  earth.  And  in  Jesus  Christ, 
his  only  Son,  our  Lord,  who  was  conceived  by  the 
Holy  Ghost;  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary;  suffered 
under    Pontius    Pilate,    was   crucified,  dead  and 


19 


buried  ;  the  third  day  he  arose  from  the  dead  ;  he 
ascended  into  heaven,  and  sitteth  at  the  right 
hand  of  God,  the  Father  Almighty;  from  thence 
he  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead.  I 
believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  the  holy,  catholic 
Church;  the  communion  of  saints  ;  the  forgiveness 
of  sins;  the  resurrection  of  the  body  and  the 
life  everlasting.  Amen." 

(The  ordinance  of  baptism  will  then  be  administered  to  those  who  have 
not  received  it,  who  will  be  thus  addressed  :) 

You  who  have  not  received  baptism,  do  now 
submit  to  this  ordinance  "  as  little  children  "  and 
confess  Christ  before  men,  and  engage  to  be  his 
disciples. 

(Response  of  candidates:  I  do.) 

(Here  those  who  have  been  baptized  in  infancy  will  be  addressed  as 
follows :) 

You,  who  in  childhood  were  devoted  to  God  in 
baptism,  do  hereby  ratify  that  act  of  your  parents, 
and  personally  renew  the  consecration  which  was 
made  in  your  behalf. 

(Response  of  candidates  :   I  do.) 

(Then  should  rise  those  who  would  unite  with  the  church  by  letter.  To 
them  the  minister  should  say :) 

Confessing  the  Lord  whom  we  unitedly  wor- 
ship, you  do  now  renew  your  self-consecration,  and 
join  with  us  cordially  in  this,  our  Christian  faith 
and  covenant. 

(Response  of  the  candidates:   I  do.) 

(The  members  of  the  church  present  should  rise  and  join  with  the  min- 
ister in  reading  the  following :) 


20 


We  welcome  you  to  our  fellowship.  We  prom- 
ise to  watch  over  you  with  Christian  love.  God 
grant  that,  loving  and  being  loved,  serving  and 
being  served,  blessing  and  being  blessed,  we  may 
be  prepared,  while  we  dwell  together  on  earth,  for 
the  perfect  communion  of  the  saints  in  heaven. 

"  Now  the  God  of  peace  who  brought  again 
from  the  dead  our  Lord  Jesus,  that  great  Shep- 
herd of  the  sheep,  through  the  blood  of  the  ever- 
lasting covenant,  make  you  perfect  in  every  good 
work  to  do  his  will,  working  in  you  that  which  is 
well  pleasing  in  his  sight,  through  Jesus  Christ, 
to  whom  be  glory  forever  and  ever.  Amen." 

(Here  the  minister  shall  give  to  each  candidate  the  right  hand  of  fellow- 
ship, with  fitting  words  of  welcome,  after  which  he  shall  say:) 

'•  For  this  cause  I  bow  my  knees  unto  the 
Father  from  whom  every  family  in  heaven  and  on 
earth  is  named,  that  he  would  grant  you,  accord- 
ing to  the  riches  of  his  glory,  that  ye  may  be 
strengthened  with  power  through  his  Spirit  in 
the  inward  man  ;  that  Christ  may  dwell  in  your 
hearts  through  faith,  to  the  end  that  ye,  being 
rooted  and  grounded  in  love,  may  be  strong  to 
apprehend  with  all  the  saints  what  is  the  breadth 
and  length  and  height  and  depth,  and  to  know 
the  love  of  Christ  which  passeth  knowledge,  that 
ye  may  be  filled  unto  all  the  fullness  of  God. 

"  Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  do  exceeding 
abundantly  above  all  that  we  ask  or  think,  ac- 
cording to  the  power  that  worketh  in  us,  unto 
him  be  the  glory  in  the  Church  and  in  Christ 
Jesus  unto  all  generations  forever  and  ever. 
Amen."
