The Statement.
I. God.
God is a spirit, infinite, eternal,
and unchangeable; all-powerful,
holy, wise, good. true, and just, liat-
ng all sin. Me is merciful and gra
cious. long suffering, and abundant
’n goodness and truth, not willing
that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance; this
truth is summed up in the Bible
statement. “God Is love." He ex
ists in three persons. Father. Son,
and Holy Spirit, who are one God,
the same in substance, equal in pow
er and glory
II. The Bible.
The Word of God. written by men
inspired by the Holy Spirit, is con
tained in the Scriptures of the < Id
and New Testaments, and are the
will of God. It is the revelation of
God’s will for man and of man’s
duty to God, and is the only in
fallible and authoritative rule of
faith and life.
III. God's Purpose.
The eternal purpose of God in
cludes all events; it is holy and wise,
and does not deprive man of free
dom. nor make God the author of sin.
IV. Creation.
For the manifestation of his own
glory, God created the world and all
ihings therein, whether visible or In
visible. and all very good. He made
man after his own image; male and
female created he them, with im
mortal souls, endowed with knowl
edge. righteousness and holiness,
having the law of God in their
hearts, and power to fulfill it: and
yet under a possibility of transgres
sion, being left to the freedom of
their own will.
V. Sin and the Fall.
Sin is the violation of God’s law.
either by omission or commission.
‘> ir first parents, being tempted by
Satan disobeyed God's command,
p~d so by their own choice fell from
the’r original state of innocence and
communion with God, and came
. under the power of sin. the penalty
«>f which is eternal death. All men.
by reason »;f their relationship to
Adam as their representative head
and common ancestor, are born with
a sinful nature from which all
actual transgressions proceed; and
"ut of this condition no one is able
to deliver himself.
Vi Salvation.
God. who is rich in mercy, so
lowed the world that he gave his only
begotten Son to be the Saviour of
sinners. The salvation thus provid
ed is freely offered to all men, and
is sufficient for all, hut becomes ef
ficacious only in those who believe in
Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
VII. Election.
Before the foundation of the world.
God the Father chose unto Himself
in Christ a people whom lie gave to
His Son. that they should he holy
and without blame before Him in
love. Those who come to years of
discretion receive this salvation only
through faith in Christ, being re
generated by the Holy Spirit. Those
who die in infancy, and all others
who are incapable of exercising
choice, are regenerated and saved by
Christ through the Spirit who works
when and where and how he pleases.
We thus declare that God’s electing
grave has peopled heaven with a
/ multitude that no man can number,
and has never sent one soul to hell.
VIII. Christ the Redeemer.
The Lord Jesus Christ, being the
eternal Son of God. became truly
He is both God and man. and the
man. being conceived by the Holy
Ghost and horn of the Virgin Mary,
vet without sin; so that He is both
God and man. and the only perfect
mediator between'God and man. by
whom alone we can come unto, the
Father. By a life of perfect obe
dience and by His sacrificial death.
He satisfied divine justice, made a
' perfect atonement for sin. and re
conciles us to God. He rose from
the dead and ascended into heaven,
where he makes continual interces
sion for us; and He sits at the right
hand of God. clothed with honor and
newer, subduing His people unto
Himself, ruling and defending them,
and restraining and conquering all
His and their enemies. He will
come again to receive and reward
His people and tw judge the world.
IX. The Holy Spirit.
The Hoiv Spirit, the third person
of the G < I head, applies the redemp
tion purchased by Christ. He per
suades and enables men to obey
the cali of the gospel, and dwells
continually in every believer as the
spirit of truth, of holiness, of power
and ot comfort, and is thereby the
author of all Christian experience.
X. Justification by Faith.
Evervone who humbly relies upon
Christ alone for salvation and In re-
nentance confesses ami forsakes his
sins, is pardoned and accepted as
righteous in God’s sight, solely on
The ground of the perfect obedience
and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Every
one thus pardoned and accepted is
adopted into God’s family, and be
comes an heir of God anti a joint
heir with Jesus Christ.
XI. The Christian Life.
The Holy Spirit imparts spiritual
li-fe by the direct operation of his
power: so that, being born from
above, we are the children of God.
created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which are not the ground
hut the fruits of salvation. Dwell
ing in Christ’s people, he purifies
them more and more from sin. en
ables them to render a cheerful and
loving obedience to Go<’s command
ments, and perseveres in his sancti
fying work in their hearts until at,
last thev stand perfect in the pres
ence of Christ in glory. Relievers
may at times backslide, growing in
different and cold, and even falling
into grievous sins; yet God does not
cast them off. but chastens them,
and restores then*, through repent
ance to fellowship with him.
XII. The Church.
We acknowledge one universal
church, the same in all ages, and
of which Christ is the head. The
church invisible consists of all the
redeemed. The church visible is
composed of all those throughout the
world who profess faith in Jesus
Christ, our Lord. together with
their children, and it is the duty of
all believers openly to profess their
faith bv uniting with the church.
The church exists to bring to Christ
those whom the Father has given
him, and to establish the Redeem
er's kingdom. The mission of the
church is, spiritual, audits work is
to witness to the truth of God to the
ends of the earth, and to preach
the gospel to all men in every gen
eration. We believe in the separa
tion of church and State. I he scrip-
l tural form of < bur. it government is
by elder? tv presbyters, chosen by
the mem hr- 1 ' ohuroh; but we
do not rega; . iit form of govern
ment of a church as essential to Its
existence We recognize the validity
of the ministry and sacraments of
all evangelical churches, and seek
the unity of the Spirit in the bonds
of peace. Ministers, elders and dea
cons. at their ordination, are re
quired to subscribe n*. the system of
doctrine contained in our standards,
but the sole condition for member
ship in the church Is a credible con
fession of Christ as Saviour. *
XIII. The Sacraments.
There are two sacraments, bap
tism. which symbolizes the work of
the Holy Spirit, and'the Lord’s Sup
per. which symbolizes the sacrificial
death of Christ. Sprinkling or pour
ing is the Scriptural mode of bap
tism. but the mode is not essential
to the validity of the sacrament
Children of believers, before reach
ing the age of personal accountabil
ity. are to he baptized on the faith
of their parents, who,in the sacra
mental act enter into covenant rela
tions with -God. We invite to the
Lord's table all who love Him in
sincerity and truth and who are in
good and regular standing in evan
gelical churches.
XIV. Death and Resurrection.
The souls of believers are at their
death made perfect in holiness; and
do immediately pass into glory, and
their bodies, being still united to
Christ, do rest in the grave till the
resurrection. At the resurrection,
believers being raised up in glory,
shall be openly acknowledged and
acquitted in the day of judgment,
and made perfectly blessed in the
full enjoyment of God to all eter
nity; but the wicked shall go away
Into everlasting punishment.
XV. The Final State.
There are but two states of future
existence, heaven, the home of the
redeemed, and hell, the abode of the
finally Impenitent. There Is no pur
gatory. nor Is there any probation
after death. Man retains his iden
tity after death, and there will he
recognition In the future life. We
believe in the ultimate and complete
triumph of the Saviour’s kingdom,
and with all his followers in all ages
we toil and pray for the speedy com
ing of the day when our glorious
Lord shall see of the travail of His
soul and shall be satisfied.

of Law Raised.

fense lost the first point in the con
tempt of court case against Colonel
W. A. Huff, whose trial began here to

A recess was taken until 3 o’clock,
when a point of law will be argued.
This point is whether the sending of

Attorneys for the prosecution ar a
District Attorney O. D. Street, of
Alabama; Assistant District Attorney
A. H. Codington, of Macon; Judge
Enoch Calloway, of Augusta, and
George S. Jones and Orville A. Park,
of Macon. The defendant is repre
sented by Thomas S. Felder, Attorney
General of Georgia, who for nine years
has been Colonel Huff's attorney in
bankruptcy litigation, out of which
the contempt case developed. Judge
W . I. Grubb, of Birmingham, was des
ignated by th'e circuit judge to preside
over the trial.
Judge Speer will be the chief wit
ness for the Government. District
Attorney Alexander Akerman and
Judge A. J. Cobb, of Athens, are
among the other witnesses.
< ’olonel Huff declares that, regard
less of the result of his trial, he will
proceed with his charges against
Judge Speer. He says that tho
•harges will be laid before the Presi
dent and Congress within two weeks.
