MANUAL OF THE!dirt rcsbtte cianr (n(rr~ IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. PHILADELPHIA: WILLIAM F. GEDDES, PRINTER, NO. 320 CHESTNUT STREET. 1859. IT is hoped that every member of the Church and Congregation will procure a copy of this book. The profits of its sale will be devoted to the "Dorcas Society," to aid the poor of the city. A BRIEF HISTORY OF PINE STREET CHURCH, BY THOMAS BRAINERD, D. D. The First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia was built on the South side of Market St., between Second and Third Sts., with a burying ground attached on Bank Street. There the first congregation was gathered, and there the Presbyterians of the city worshipped for sixty years. A part of this First Church, about the year 1760, under the influence of the revivals which followed the labors of George Whitefield and the Tennents, being dissatisfied with the opposition of the Church to the revival and the men who promoted it, withdrew, and built a Second Presbyterian Church, on the N. W. corner of Third and Arch Streets. This supplied the north part of the city. The Market Street Church, increasing by immigration from Scotland and Ireland, soon not only made up the loss, but became overcrowded. A temporary house and lot was therefore purchased on the corner of Second and South Streets, and public worship set up by the pastors of the First Church. In 1762 a committee was appointed to ask of the Pennsylvania Proprietors the donation of the lot of ground on "Society Hill" in.the South part of the city, for a new Presbyterian Church. This application was successful. On the 19th day of October, 1764, Thomas and Richard Penn, the Proprietors of Pennsylvania, granted a lot 174 feet on Fourth 4 BRIEF HISTORY OF Street by 102 feet on Pine Street, "To the congregation belonging to the old Presbyterian Meeting House on the South side of High Street, near the Court House, in the City of Philadelphia, to the intent that a Church or Meeting House should be erected thereon, and a burial yard laid out for the use of the said society of Presbyterians forever." This lot, given freely by the proprietors, was afterwards enlarged by purchase, so that the Church property now embraces about 174 feet on Fourth Street by 200 feet on Pine Street,the open space around the edifice 174 by 300 feet. A small frame building had existed on the spot previously, called the Hill Meeting House. Near this building the Rev. George Whitefield was accustomed to stand and preach to collected thousands. It was some time after the lot was procured before any progress was made in the erection of a building. July 4th, 1765, a committee was appointed by the First Church to ask the Second Church on Arch Street to unite in building the Third. With some apparent feeling, the Second Church declined, because, as they alleged, they had not been earlier consulted. In 1765 a subscription was opened in the First Church. January 10, 1765, it was voted to employ workmen and commence the work. December 24, 1766, a committee was appointed to "collect subscriptions from those who attend the meeting at the South end of the New Market." In 1767 a committee was appointed to inquire about the propriety of settling a new minister over the new Society forming on "Society Hill." In 1768 it was voted "that public worship should be celebrated in the New Presbyterian Church in Pine Street, May 30th." From this record it seems, that on the 30th of May, 1859, just ninety-one years had elapsed since the walls of Old Pine Street Church first echoed the voice of a gospel minister and the songs of Zion. But we are not to suppose that the house was completed; for November 14th, 1768, the committee of the First and Third Churches voted to sell the "temporary house, which had been a vendue house, on South by Second Street, to help pay for the new house, because it was not in repair, to defend the congrega PINE STREET CHURCH. 5 tion against the storms and cold weather in winter." About the same time it was ascertained that twenty families from the First Church and sixty families from the temporary Church would take pews in the new edifice, showing that the new congregation began with eighty families. In 1768-9, ~2500 were raised by lottery, of which it was agreed that the First Church should receive ~200 "to pay its debts," and the remainder to be divided between the Second and Third Churches, in the proportion of 11 and 9. This money so equivocally obtained enabled the Third Church to finish its edifice. The above items have been gleaned with some labor from "old records." They will be of growing interest to future generations. The Third Church was designed to be held in perpetual union with the First. Its congregation was to be allowed to elect their own pastor, with the "approbation" of the First Church, and for a time the two Churches moved on in harmony. November 14, 1768, the Rev. Samuel Aitken was unanimously elected pastor, and for about one year alternated with the pastors of the First Church in supplying the two congregations. But he then fell into some immorality, and was suspended from the ministry. The two pastors of the First Church then supplied Pine Street alternately. But in 1771 Pine Street Church asserted its inde-,pendence by electing the Rev. George Duffield, D. D., of Carlisle, pastor. He was a? "new side" man, in the parlance of the day; and the First Church, leaning to the "old side," now claimed the entire custody of the building and locked its doors. The friends of Dr. Duffield broke open the doors, and took possession of the house. Dr. Duffield was arrested for abetting a riot, and a suit at law commenced by the First Church to recover possession of the edifice. Dr. Duffield was discharged without trial, but the suit at law was prosecuted through all the courts of the country, the verdicts being in favor of the First Church. The congregation then appealed to the King in Council, but the revolutionary war breaking out, the case never came to trial in England. Private griefs were absorbed in public wrongs. At the end of the war better counsels prevailed; the Pine Street people bought peace by agreeing to pay the Market Street 6 BRIEF HISTORY OF Church 5000 dollars, 750 of which was afterwards generously relinquished. Since then the mother and daughter have dwelt in peace. The Pine Street Church suffered severely in the war of the revolution, the congregation being peculiarly obnoxious to the British, from the resolute patriotism of the pastor and known whiggery of the members. The best houses in the neighborhood were seized by the British officers, and soldiers billeted upon plainer families. Dr. Duffield had encouraged the men of his congregation to enlist, and on a certain Sabbath morning, when the city was in danger, he told the men present, he was very sorry they were not abroad serving their country. In the course of the next week he went himself to the army, and remained with it some time as chaplain, stimulating the courage and zeal of his countrymen by appeals of patriotism and religion. When the British army got possession of Philadelphia, they seized the Church and used it for a hospital; while they respected St. Peter's Church below, because it belonged to the Church of England. The British soldiers tore up the pews and used them for fuel, stripped the pulpit ard the windows, and finally used the building as a stable for the horses of dragoons.. In excavating the ground for the iron fence in Pine Street, in 1835, the laborers came upon the body of a British soldier, known by the buttons of his dress, a relic of the occupation of this now peaceful spot by a foreign foe. While the Continental Congress, driven from Philadelphia, held its sessions at York, the Rev. Dr. Duffield was elected one of its chaplains, in union with Bishop White, to whom, as a theologian, a preacher, and a man, he was inferior in no respect. He died in 1790, and his ashes rest under the central aisle of the Lecture Room of this Church. He was a bold, conscientious, active, and eloquent man. Of those who united with the Church under his ministry, not one now survives. The Records show that during a pastoral life of nineteen years, he solemnized 730 marriages, and baptized 1342 adults and children. How many he admitted to the Church is unknown. PINE STREET CHURCH. 7 In 1791, the Rev. John Blair Smith, D. D., President of Hampden Sydney College, Virginia, was called to be pastor, and remained such until 1795, (four years,) when he was dismissed to be the first President of Union College, New York. After an absence of four years, during which time the church was vacant, he was recalled to the pastorate in 1799. He died the same year, aged 44, of yellow fever, then epidemic in Philadelphia. The marble slab which covers his ashes may be seen in the yard near the south-west corner of the church. As President, in succession, of one college at the South, and another at the North; and as a Christian, a preacher, and a pastor, he was among the foremost men of his day. Some of his descendants' are still found in the church where he labored and died. In the year 1800, the Rev. Philip Milledoller, D. D., was called to be pastor, and remained until 1805, (five years,) when he was removed to a church in New York. He was afterwards President of Rutgers College, Brunswick, N. J. During his ministry, he solemnized 171 marriages, and baptized 334 individuals. By letter and profession, he admitted into the church 159 persons, or an average of 31 annually. Of these 159 persons, but five are known to survive in this church. They are Mrs. Catharine Ross, Mrs. Sarah Ray, Mrs. Catharine Simons, Mrs. Elizabeth Tillotson, and Mrs. Margaret Barclay. What a remnant out of 159! So great are the changes of a single half century. In November, 1806, the Rev. Archibald Alexander, D. D., was elected pastor. At a previous election in 1794, he had declined the call of the church, assigning reasons most creditable to his head and heart. He was then a young man. But the second call he accepted, and left the Presidency of Hampden Sydney College, Virginia, to take charge of the congregation, in 1806. In a pastoral life of six years, he solemnized 90 marriages, and baptized 291 children and adults. By letter and profession, he admitted to the church 119 members, or an average of about 20 a year. Of those admitted by him, but two survive among us. These are Mrs. Mary C. Kay, and Mrs. Comfort Corgie. There are doubtless some others, who have removed to other churches.. From the above, it appears that seven are left in the church 8 BRIEF HISTORY OF who sat under Dr. Alexander's ministry. Dr. Alexander having been elected by the General Assembly Professor of Theology in the Theological Seminary at Princeton, left this church in 1812. After thirty-nine years of useful labor in that department, he died, full of years and full of honors. His ministry here was his last and most important pastoral charge. The last record in his hand-writing in our books is May 24th, 1812, the month he left us. "The Lord's supper," he says, "was administered. The number of communicants who sat down was 300, there being many members of the assembly among them. Gloria Deo "-Praise to God. His last words in ourbooks were his first words in Heaven, "Glory to God!" His life was a beautiful specimen of Christian purity. His talents and attainments placed him in the first rank of American theologians. He, like the great majority who have listened to his preaching, has gone to his reward. The fifth pastor of this church was the Rev. Ezra Stiles Ely, D. D. He was installed Sept. 7th, 1814, and continued pastor until June 30th, 1835, twenty-one years. He began to preach here in 1813, so that his ministry, in fact, extended to twenty-two years. At his coming a small minority left the church and organized the Sixth Presbyterian church, (Dr. Jones's;) and by award of arbitrators this small minority received from this church $22,000 for their share of the property. I need not say that the award of the arbitrators was regarded as most unjust to this church. The ministry of Dr. Ely is so fresh in the recollection of the living, that I need not dwell upon it, except to say it was peaceful and prosperous. By our record, it appears that he solemnized 718 marriages, and baptized 1163 adults and children. I may here say that from Dr. Duffield to Dr. Ely, my predecessors were accustomed to baptize all infants presented, whether the parents were or were not communicants. Dr. Ely admitted by letter and profession, 707 to communion with the church, making an average of 32 each year of his ministry. Of those admitted under his ministry, about 100 only remain with us. PINE STREET CHURCH. 9 As the Rev. Dr. Ely is yet living, I refrain from any comment upon his ministry, except to commend his industry, his self-sacrifice, and his abundant charity, while he went in and out before us. His work in the vineyard of his Master now seems to be ended. It is touching to see a form once so elastic bowed down by age and infirmity; and a tongue once so eloquent and earnest faltering by disease. May the support of that Gospel which he so faithfully proclaimed to others through more than fifty years, be now the solace of his sorrows and the stay of his declining years. As the successor of Dr. Ely, I was called from the city of Cincinnati, to be pastor of this church, October 31st, 1836, and commenced my stated labors here Feb. 1st, 1837. My installation did not take place until March 5th, but my engagement began Feb. 1st, which is the anniversary of my labors. A few incidents of my ministry are worthy of record. In 1837 the interior of the old Church was entirely remodelled, the windows modernized, a Lecture Room, Study, and Committee Room provided, and the outside of the Church stuccoed, at an expense of about $19,000. Up to that period the weekly lecture was held in the body of the Church, and the Sunday School in the galleries, or in a room hired for the purpose. About ten years ago an organ was introduced in the face of some opposition, which however soon died away. In 1837, by the act of the famous General Assembly of that year, the Third Presbytery of Philadelphia was dissolved, and Old Pine Street Church and its pastor left without any ecclesiastical connection, but directed to apply for admission into some Presbytery on examination. Of course this act was treated as revolutionary, null, and void; the church and pastor adhering to the constitutional branch of the Presbyterida Church. On this subject there has been, and is, entire unanimity. It is hardly necessary to allude to the improvement of the Church edifice in 1857, by which the unsightly and unattractive building has been transformed into a beautiful and classic temple; uniting the associations of a venerated antiquity with the demands of modern taste. This improvement cost $11,500, all of which was promptly paid by voluntary contributions, within a single 10 BRIEF HISTORY OF year. The Church is now entirely free from debt. In addition to the burying ground at the Church, it owns another cemetery on Carpenter and Fifth Streets, Southwark; a house and lot on Water Street, left by the late George Pearson for the poor of the congregation; a lot 200 by 80 feet on Jefferson Avenue and Greenwich Streets, for a new Presbyterian Church, with reversion to the Trustees of Pine Street Church. The late Thomas Sparks also left $2000 cash to the Trustees, the interest of which goes half to the Sunday School and half to Home Mlissions. The Church has no vested funds for the support of its own expenses, but relies for this solely on the rent of its pews. The ministry of the present pastor has been occasionally interrupted by ill health. With this exception it has been characterized by great and uniform prosperity. No bitter controversy has been known among us for twenty-two years. The people among themselves and towards their pastor have "studied the things that make for peace." The pastor has loved the people of his charge, identified himself with their interests, confided in them, and never been dissatisfied with his lot, nor disappointed in their affection. In these twenty-two years the present pastor has admitted Nine Hundred persons to the communion of the Church, attended Eight Hundred and Twenty Funerals; baptized Eight Hundred individuals; and solemnized Five Hundred and Eighty-three Marriages. It is hoped that this brief review of the way in which God has led this church for almost a century may excite gratitude among its members. It has, at no time, been left desolate. It has never quarreled with one of its six pastors. No pastor ever left " Old Pine Street Church" but of his own choice, and for what he regarded as a better field for health or usefulness. God's ministers have ever been treated with kindness, forbearance, and respect. What has been the result? The church has enjoyed nearly one hundred years of uniform peace, competence, and prosperity, and was never more influential, hopeful, and happy than at the present time. It has been always characterized by great good fellowship among the members, rich and poor; by an earnest love to prayer meetings and revivals of religion; by a desire to hear plain truths PINE STREET CHURCH. 11 in plain language, and by a willingness to labor and sacrifice, for the general interests of the Church of God. As the fathers have passed away, God has so replenished the church by revivals of religion, and so "turned the hearts of the children" to the good ways of their fathers, that the congregation has, in its age, all the enthusiasm and energy of a fresh manhood. The names of the living enrolled in this book, pastor, elders, and members, will soon give place to others; but it is most fervently to be wished, that by holy example and fervent prayers, we may live, when our bodies moulder, in the increased intelligence and piety of coming generations. The following hymn, composed by the pastor for the children of the Sabbath School, has been often sung in the old church, We insert it here, in the hope that it will be sung there, by hearts as warm, for one hundred years to come:"OLD PINE STREET CHURCH." TUNE —" There is a happy land." Old Pine Street Church I love! Full ninety yearsLeading the heart above, And hushing fearsIts ancient walls have stood, Reared by the wise and good, To yield a balm, that could Dry human tears. Old Pine Street Church I prize — And well I may; My mother in yon skies, Here learned the way: My father too, here trod The way that leads to GodHe sleeps beneath yon sodHere let me pray! 12 BRIEF HISTORY OF And shorter graves are near Thy sacred fane; My gentle sister dear, They here have lain; My brother too here sleeps, Where rose or wild-flower creeps, And love in sadness weeps The early slain. Old Pine Street Church, my heart Still clings to thee; I well may claim a part In each old tree; For in their summer shade, My early footsteps strayed, And my first vows were made Oh, God, to Thee! Old Pine Street Church, thy gates Yet open stand — And there in mercy waits The Teacher bandWho by the truth would guide All to the Saviour's side, And through Him open wide A better land. Old Pine Street Church!-that hour When life is o'er, And sin with tempting power Can vex no more; Oh, let my grave be found In thy long cherished ground, Where saints may me surround Till time is o'er. _~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i __________ -~ _______ __IIL______________ ________ _ __ _-_I-_1_1~~ L —--- ___ — P —- ---- _____________ -DSiN RE ~iRK 73 - MO~~~~~~~~~~:~: ala~ -g~M - al~~~~:uci " K!"~ 60~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ M 1111TI, ~.I, fjs~ lg I~~~ "MV ~ ~ ~ ~I~L n ~~~~~~~~~~~~4~OD IESIRE HUBC; 14 BRIEF HISTORY OF NAMES OF PASTORS. *Rev.

The public reception of members into the Communion of the Church takes place at the time of the administration of the Lord's Supper. The candidates stand in front of the pulpit, and are addressed by the Minister as follows:You have now presented yourselves in this public manner before God and this Congregation, to confess Jesus Christ; to testify your faith, and hope, andijoy in his religion; and to dedicate yourselves to the service of your Creator and Redeemer. By the proper authorities of this Church you have been examined, and have furnished to them such evidence of your personal piety, that they are willing to admit you to our communion. We pretend not to know the heart. We trust that you have been truly renewed by the Holy Spirit, and that you are prepared for the solemn act which you are now about to perform-the act by which you publicly ratify a sacred covenant to receive the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as your God; and by which you bind yourselves to walk henceforth in the commandments and ordinances of the Lord as becomes the friends of the Redeemer. The purport of these professions and engagements, you have, doubtless, fully considered. The transactions of this day will live long in your remembrance, and will be followed with everlasting consequences. You are surrounded with "a great cloud of witnesses." The eyes of this Church, which now receives you to her bosom, are upon you. The eyes of the world, from which you have separated yourselves, are upon you. Holy angels, and the everlasting and all-seeing God, witness this transaction.:These vows will be recorded in heaven. They will meet you again on your trial in the last day. But these solemn considerations need not dishearten you. Through the merits, and in the name of Christ, you may venture to commit yourselves to God, and trust to his promised faithfulness for strength to fulfil your engagements. 36 FORM OF ADMISSION OF Believing that there is an inseparable connexion between truth and holiness, and that the essential doctrines of the Christian religion are of vital importance to the promotion of true piety, we here present you with the leading doctrines of the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church, to which we expect your assent. CONFESSION OF FAITH. 1. You believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the word of God, and are the only infallible rule of faith and practice. 2. You believe that there is one God, infinite in being, glory, and blessedness; eternal, unchangeable, and Almighty; most wise, most holy, most just, most merciful, and most gracious; long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. Deut. vi. 4; 1 Cor. viii. 4; Job xi. 7, 8, 9; Acts vii. 2; 1 Tim. vi. 15; Ps. xc. 2; Mal. iii. 6; James i. 17; Rev. iv. 8; Rom. xvi. 27; Isa. vi. 3; Deut. xxxii. 4; Exodus xxxiv. 6. 3. You believe that God subsists in three persons-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and that these three are the only true God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. Matt. iii. 16, 17, and xxviii. 19; 2 Cor. xiii. 14; John x. 30. 4. You believe that God governs the universe; that by his Providence he upholds, directs, and governs all creatures, actions and things; and that he confers grace and mercy according to his good pleasure and will. Ps. xciii. 1; Dan. iv. 35; Mark x. 29; Matt. v. 26, 30; Isa. x. 5, 6, 7; Rom. ix. 17, 18, 21, 22; Jude 4; Eph. i. 5 —11; 2 Tim. i. 9; Rom. viii. 30; 2 Thess. ii. 13; John iii. 5,. 5. You believe that God hath endued the will of man with natural liberty, so that he is neither forced, nor by any absolute necessity of nature determined to good or evil, and therefore is responsible to God for all his actions, thoughts, and feelings; and that every man is bound to repent of -his sins and believe the Gospel. James i. 13; Rom. xiv. 12; 2 Cor. v. 10; Matt. xxv. 14-30; Josh. xxiv. 15; Ezekiel xviii. especially the 31st and 32d verses; Acts xviii. 30; Mark xvi. 15, 16. PINE STREET CHURCH. 31 6. You believe that God created man in his own image, in knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness; that the first man sinned, and that in consequence of his transgression, all mankind became sinners, and are, before regeneration, wholly destitute of holiness, and wholly disposed to evil, and on account of sin, are justly liable to all the miseries of this life, to the agonies of death, and to the pains of hell forever. Gen. i. 26; Col. iii. 10; Eph. iv. 24; Gen. iii. 6; Rom. v. 12-19; Gen. viii. 24; Ps. xlv., liii., v., cxl., x., xxxvi., and Isaiah lix., compared with Rom. iii. 10-17; John iii. 1-7; Rom. v. 12; Rom. vi. 23. 7. You believe in the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ; that he assumed our nature, that by perfectly obeying the holy law, and suffering and dying in the place of sinners, he brought in everlasting righteousness, on account of which, God can now be just, and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus; that he rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, where he ever liveth to make intercession for us. John i. 1-3; Heb. i. 10-12; Col. i. 15-17; Rom. ix. 5; John xx. 28; Phil. ii. 5 —8; John v. 21 —23; John i. 14; John iii. 16; Isa. liii.; 1 Cor. xv. 3; Heb. ix. 26; Rom. iii. 25; 2 Cor. v. 21; Rom. iii. 24; Titus iii. 5, 7; Eph. i. 7; Phil. iii. 9; 1 Cor. xv.; Mark xvi. 19; Acts i. 9; Rleb. vii. 25; Rom. iii. 26. 8. You believe in the personality and divinity of the Holy Ghost; that he alone renews and sanctifies the heart; that he is given to the people of God to enlighten their minds, to guide them in the path of duty, to comfort them in affliction, and to sustain them in dying.

You believe that the law of God is binding as a rule of life on all mankind; that a holy life is the only certain evidence of true religion, and is necessary to adorn the Christian profession, or to honor God; and that the habitual violaters of that law will be excluded forever from the kingdom of God. Rom. vii. 12; James ii. 10, 11; 1 Tim. i. 9, 10; Ps. xix. 7; Matt. xxii. 37-40; Heb. xii. 14; 1 John iii. 3; Phil. iv. 8; 1 John iii. 7, 8; 2 John 6; Matt. vii. 16; Exod. xxxiv. 7; Rev. xxi. 27; 1 Cor. vi. 9, 10. 38 FORM OF ADMISSION OF 10. You believe that at the end of the world the Lord Jesus Christ will return with the glory of his Father and with the holy angels; that there will be a resurrection of the dead, and a final judgment pronounced on all mankind. Acts i. 11; Matt. xvi. 27; 1 Cor. xv.; John v. 28; Matt. xxv. 31-56. 11. You believe that the righteous will be received into eternal life, and that the wicked will go into everlasting punishment. Matt. xxv. 46. In this public manner, you do hereby confess and bewail the original and total depravity of your nature; the past enmity of your hearts against God; the unbelief which has led you to reject a Saviour; and the manifold transgressions of your lives; all which sins you do condemn, and in your purpose forever renounce. C O V E N A N T. And now, in the presence of God, angels, and men, you do solemnly avouch the LORD JEHOVAH to be your God and portion -the object of your supreme love and delight; the LORD JEsus CHRIST to be your Saviour from sin and death-your Prophet to instruct you-your Priest to atone and intercede for you-and your King to rule, protect, and enrich you; and the HOLY GHOST to be your sanctifier, comforter, and guide. To this God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, you do now, without reserve, give yourselves away, in a covenant never to be revoked, to be his willing servants forever; to observe all his commandments and ordinances in the sanctuary, in the family, and in the closet. You do also bind yourselves by covenant to this Church, to seek our peace and edification, and to submit to the government and discipline of Christ, as here administered. All this, in reliance on Divine strength, you do severally profess and engage. In consequence of these professions and engagements, you are hereby acknowledged as members of this Church, and we declare you entitled to all its privileges. (The members of the church rise.) We welcome you to our communion, and engage to watch over you in love; to seek your edification; to counsel you in perplexity; PINE STREET CHURCH. 39 to minister to you the consolations of religion in affliction; and to aid your progress through this world to glory. (Here all the members resume their seats.) CLOSING ADDRESS. And now, beloved in the Lord, let it be impressed on your minds, that you have entered into solemn engagements which you can never renounce. Wherever you may be, these vows will remain with you. Should you be among friends or among strangers; with the people of the world or the friends of the Redeemer; should you be found among the poor and suffering, or with the rich, the gay, the great, you are to remember in every situation, that you have solemnly given yourselves to the service of the Lord Jesus. Brethren, let your conversation be as becometh the gospel of Christ. As he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Walk worthy of the vocation with which you are called. Faithful at the post of duty, watch for the coming of the Lord —for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. And to you, the members of this Church, we present these persons, who have now been admitted to your communion, as brethren in the Lord. They come to share your privileges to-day at this table, and to be fellow-helpers in the gospel. Receive them: they need your sympathy, your kindness, your countenance, your prayers. They have hearts like ours; are prone to err as you are; and they will need, as they share, your aid in the Christian life. Assist them in the journey to heaven. Comfort them when they need consolation. Entreat and admonish them, as brethren, if they go astray. Succour them if they are tempted. Greet them with kindness in their Christian way; and may the Lord support them and guide them and us through this transitory life; and when this warfare shall have been accomplished, receive us all to the fellowship of the Church of the first born in heaven, AMEN. 40 SELF-EXAMINATION. A FEW QUESTIONS FOR DAILY OR WEEKLY SELF-EXAMINATION. 1. Is it my conscious purpose to glorify God in everything I do? 2. Do I live in the daily study of God's word, and in the practice and enjoyment of secret prayer? 3. Do I maintain morning and evening worship in my family? 4. Am I habitually kind and affectionate at home? 5. If a parent, am I calm and firm in the requisition of obedience; yet always in the spirit of love, "Not provoking my children to anger?" 6. Am I affectionate and obedient to my parents, as required by the Fifth Commandment? 7. Do I carefully avoid anger, in obedience to the Sixth Commandment? 8. Do I watchfully guard the purity of my heart and tongue, in obedience to the Seventh Commandment? 9. Do I conscientiously.avoid speaking evil of any one, except when I plainly see it is for the good of others? 10. Am I diligent in business; fervent in spirit, serving the Lord with strict integrity, truthfulness, and honesty? 11. Do I daily seek out some new opportunity of usefulness, by conversing with some impenitent person, or by seeking out some worthy object of charity? 12. Am I faithful in the discharge of public religious dutiesin the prayer meeting-in the lecture room-in the Sanctuary? 13. Do I live daily just as I shall wish I had when I come to die? THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 41 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy; six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day, and hallowed it. 5. Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's..,.~ ~~~ 42- THE LORD'S PRAYER.-RELATION TO PASTOR. THE LORD'S PRAYER. Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom cople. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. RELATION TO PASTOR. 1. Pray daily for your Pastor; but especially at those times when he is called upon to preach the gospel, or lead the devotions of the children of God. 2. Be not too exacting of Pastoral visits. Remember he has the oversight of many souls, and the sick and the impenitent are especially on his heart. 3. Do not detain him with needless delay, when he calls. His time for visitation is brief; the demands upon it are many. 4. Be charitable in your judgments of him. Never criticise or censure him before others. The relation is dear and sacred. "Be to his: faults a little blind; Be to his virtues very kind." 5. Receive his admonitions in the spirit of meekness, and esteem him highly in the Lord for his work's sake, for he watches for your soul as one who must give account in the day of Judgment. 6. Sustain him by your presence and prayers in all the regular services of the Church. A captain's strength is not in himself, but in the faithfulness of his soldiers. 7. Above all, be an active co-laborer with him, in seeking the salvation of souls. The prosperity of a Church depends upon the personal piety and activity of the individual members, and not alone upon its pastor. COVENANT OBLIGATIONS. 43 COVENANT OBLIGATIONS. In Baptism, you covenant to teach your children the word of God daily; to instruct them in prayer; and, by a godly walk and conversation, to bring. them up- in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. You covenant to restrain them from sinful amusements and practices, and to teach them to walk in the commandments of God blameless; to converse with them on the interests of their immortal souls, and earnestly to labor and pray for their salvation, until you behold them brought, by regeneration, into the spiritual, as they are, by Baptism, into the visible Church of Christ. You covenant with the Church1. To seek its peace by avoiding all cause of discord, and by seeking to heal dissensions whenever they arise. 2. You covenant "to walk in the ordinances of the gospel as here administered," by attending the regular services of the Sanctuary, by bearing your proper share of responsibility in the support of the gospel, and by your regular presence at the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. 3. You covenant to cherish and guard its interests and honor, by a hearty sympathy with its prosperity, and by a blameless and harmless life, as becomes the sons of God-without rebuke-in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights. 4. You covenant to love and watch over its members as brethren, by seeking such acquaintance as shall enable you to sympathize with each other in sorrow, to minister the consolations of Religion in affliction, and to promote that oneness of heart which becomes the body of Christ. 5. You covenant to labor together, by united prayer and efforts, for the salvation of men. Be not forgetful of these solemn vows, which you have assumed in the presence of God, angels, and men. 44 PINE STREET CHURCH. PINE STREET CHURCH. I love the good old church, The birth-home of my soul, Wherein, I dare to hope, my name Was writ on mercy's scroll. It standeth pleasantly Amid the shadowing trees, Whose heavenward branches tremble with The music of the breeze. Encompass'd all around By glory-crown6d dead, They seem to watch it lovingly From their soft, flowery bed. My soul was sadden'd when The workmen's sturdy blow Brought all its curious ornaments And antique fashions low. Thanks that they spared the walls That, fourscore years and ten, Have echoed with the faithful words Of Heaven-accepted men. New glory to its age The skill of man hath lent, The power of prime with old renown In cunning union blent. And yet the truant tear Steals down the furrow'd cheek: The love that overflows the heart The tongue may never speak. Peace to the ancient church, Enrobed in beauty's dress! May God abide within its walls, And all its children bless.- Thos. Mlfackellar. R:EPORT Of the Committee for the Improvement of the Church Edifice.

Catanach being considered the most favorable, the contract was awarded to him, for seven thousand nine hundred dollars. At a subsequent meeting of the Committee it was resolved to include an entire new roof in the improvement, which involved an additional expense of five hundred dollars. Messrs. Robb, Fraiser and Work, were appointed a sub-committee to make contracts; and Messrs. Aikman, Whilldin and Davenport were appointed to attend to the fitting up of the lecture room.

We venture to assert that this improvement has been made in our House of Worship without abridging in the slightest degree the comfort of any of the members of the congregation, or of the friends who have so generously contributed toward it. The Missionary Association of the Church contemplate the erection of a building, and the establishment of a permanent Mission House in the neighbourhood of Sixth and Fitzwater Streets, at a cost of from four to five thousand dollars. By the above Report we see that it can be accomplished whenever the congregation feel disposed to engage in such an enterprise.
