This church was first organized while the Incli v, ere dwelling in the forests and plains around, and before the borough of Carlisle was laid out. Its o- riginal place of worship was on a glebef "which till lately belonged to the congregation, situated about two miles west of the borough. Sometime after the borough began to be built, a Presbyterian church was mized in it, which called the Rev. Geo. Duifieui, D. D. who was ordained and installed the 25th day of Sept. 1761. The church in the country, then under the care of the Rev. Mr. J. Steel, soon after erected a place of worship in the town for their temporary accommodation, till the present building on the centre square was built. The two churches differed in points of doctrine and discipline, and were classed in the parties of Old Lights and New Lights, as they were designated in the olden time. After the remov- al of Mr. Duffield to Philadelphia, and the dest. tion by fire of the place of worship belonging to his congregation, and the death of Mr. Steel, the two < l:^:;- relations united and called the Rev. Robert Da- vidson, D. D. who commenced his pastoral labours in 17S5. Mr. Duffield's congregation erected a gai- ^ lery in the building belonging to Mr. Steel's congre- gation. Subsequently the congregation had the ser- vices of the Rev. Alexander Nesbitt, D. D. who of- ficiated as Doctor in connection with Dr. Davidson, the Pastor. The Rev. Geo. Duffield was invited to the pastor- al charge of the congregation in September, IS 15, — accepted the call in February, 1816, and was or- dained and installed September 25, 1816. The con- gregation became incorporated by act of Assembly, August 26, 17S6. Present Offieers of the Church. Geo. Duffield, pastor ELDERS. Thomas Urie, Esq. John Halbert, Thomas Carothers, W. C.

Sexton — William Anderson FORM OP ADMISSION INTO THE PRESEYTERIAN CHURCH CARLISLE, PENN. [The minister addresses the candidates appearing before the church in the following or similar remarks:] You have here presented yourselves before God and this church, to profess your cordial choice, and covenant engagements to serve the Lord, and to in- corporate yourselves with his people in full and visi- ble fellowship. Your present act creates no obliga- tions which did not before exist, but simply recog- nises those by which you now feel you ought to have been influenced ever since you were capable of moral action. It is your sin that you have refused so long to own them. And you now confess this sin, and declare your hearty surrender of yourselves to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in all the offi- ces which they discharge for the government and sal- vation of men, and your fixed and unalterable pur- pose to bring all your powers in subjection to Christ, and to identify your interests for time and for eterni- ty with the church of God. We trust this thing has been seriously and fully considered by you. It is solemn in its nature, and its consequences will be eternal. God and angels and men are witnesses of this transaction. It will be recorded in Heaven and on earth, and will live in your own delightful or mournful remembrance, amid the songs of the redeemed or the wailings of the lost. Yet with these reflections you need not be over- whelmed: your divine Lord and Master has said, 4 'Have not I commanded thee, be strong and of a good courage: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. " With your whole soul fixed on Him, come, and in holy confidence in your risen and Almighty Redeemer, adopt the confession and covenant which we now propound to you. CONFESSION OF FAITH. The Unity and Trinity of the Godhead. 1. You believe that there is one eternal, almighty, in- dependent, self-existent God, infinite and unchange- able in his righteousness, holiness, and truth; who subsists in an incomprehensible Trinity of Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory, the one omniscient Creator, Proprietor, Gov- ernor and Judge of all. Deut. 6. 4: 1 Cor. 8. 4—6. Ps. 90. 2: 1 Tim. 1. 17: Gen. 17. 1 : Kph. 1. 11: Ps. 115. 3: Exod. 3. 14, Ps. J 47. 5, 7: James 1. 17: Ex. 34. 6, 7: I John 5. 7; John 1. 14: 2 Cor. 13. 14. The Rule of Faith and Practice. 2. That the sacred scriptures of the Old and New testaments were given by inspiration of God, and are the only all-sufficient and infallible rule of faith and practice to mankind. 2 Tim. 3. 15—17: 2 Pet. 1. 19—21: Isaiah 8. 23. The primitive state of man — the Fall — and its consequences. 3. That God created Adam with an immortal soul, perfect in knowledge, righteousness and holiness and so constituted him the public head of his race, that in consequence of his sin all mankind sinned, not by any necessity of nature but certainly by their own voluntary act or choice. Gen. 1. 27. Eph. 4. 24: Col. 3. 10: Rom. 5. 12- Ps. 58. 3: James 1. 13, 15. Depravity. 4. That all the moral exercises of unregenerate men, being the result of a supreme selfishness are wholly and continually sinful. Gen. 6. 5: Rom. 3. 19: 8. 5—8: Eph. 2. 1—3. The method of recovery. 5. That for the recovery of fallen man, the eternal Son of God took upon him the nature of man, suffer- ed and died to atone for the sins of the whole world, arose from the dead on the third day and ascended into heaven, where He makes intercession for them that come to him, and ever lives and reigns the Heir of all things, whence He will come to judge the quick and dead. John 1. 14: Heb. 2. 14- 1 John 2. 2: John 20. 19: Actsl. 10, 11: Heb. 7.25: Heb. 1.2: Acts 17. 31. The reality and apjMcation of the atonement. 6. That while the sufferings and death of Christ are an ample atonement for the sins of the whole world, so that God can now consistently forgive sins, and be just in justifying the ungodly, and it is freely and sincerely offered to all men in the gospel, yet those only will be saved by it, who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 3. 19—26: Isaiah 45. 22: Luke 14. 16—24: Luke 13.3. Mark 16. 16. 8 The moral agency and accountability of man. 7. That men are naturally endowed with those mental and moral powers which capacitate them for being made the subjects of God's moral government so that He will be just in punishing them forever if they do not repent and believe upon Christ, and their endless perdition will be the result of their own vol- untary disobedience and rejection of salvation. John 3. 19: Isaiah 5. 4: Mat. 25. 14—30: Luke 12. 48.- John 6, 40. Human Inability. S. That men are utterly unable to do any thing whatever that will atone for their sins, and that they can neither justify themselves before God on the ground of any good works performed by them, nor bring Him under obligations to impart any new pow- er to perform deeds of holiness, but if saved at all, must consent to be eternalty indebted to the grace of God in Jesus Christ alone. Rom. 3. 20; 8.8; 3.24. Necessity of the Spirit's influence. 9. That men are naturally so averse from God and holiness, that if left to themselves without the influence of the Holy Spirit they never will repent of their sins and believe on Jesus Christ. John 6. 44, 45; 16. 13. The Agency of the Holy Spirit in Regeneration. 10. That while the Holy Spirit as the great effi- cient agent, influences the mind and heart of the sinner to repent and believe, He does it by means of the truth or facts of revelation adapted to their con- dition and character as rational and voluntary agents, made known in the sacred scriptures, and urged in the preaching of the word. James 1. 18; 1 Cor. 4, 15. The nature of Regeneration. 11. That it is the duty of every sinner to he re- generated, and that in becoming so, while men are operated on by the Spirit of God they act freely, cordially renounce all their sins, believe in Christ, give themselves to God, engage to keep all his commandments and thus begin a new life. Ezekiel 18. 31 ; John 1. 12, 13, 56: 1 John 5 1:4.7:3. 9, 14, 24: 2. 29. God's gracious Sovereignty . 12. That while the Holy Spirit of God is sent by the Lord Jesus Christ to reprove the world of sin, and so strives with all men in a greater or less degree, the efficacy or success of His influence in making any sinner willing to repent and turn to God is in pursuance of His own most gracious purpose, and that a purpose, not because of faith or good works fore- seen, nor of any obligations on God created by the sinner's use of the means of grace, nor any supposed improvement of present ability, but according to the counsel of his own infinite wisdom and benevolence. John 16, 9: Eph. 1. 11: 2 Tim. 1. 9; Rom. 9. 11, 15, 16. The jierseverance of the Saints. 13. That those who truly believe in Christ, are un- der obligations to abound in good works, and will per- severe in holiness to the end; but that such persever- ance in holiness is not the result of any mysti- cal indestructible principle created in them, but is se- cured by continual supplies of the Spirit by virtue of the divine care and faithfulness towards all that be- lieve, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, 1 Cor. 15. 58: 1. 8: 1 Pet. 1. 5; John 10: 27, 28. Ground of admission to the Church. 14. That credible evidence of a saving change of heart is an indispensable ground of admission to the privileges of the visible church. Mat 7. 21; John 3. 3, 5, 7;. Acts 8. 37. The Sacraments. 15. That Christ has instituted Baptism, — design- ed to represent the cleansing efficacy of His blood and the purifying influence of His Spirit, and to initiate the individual into the church, — and the Lord's Sup- per, — designed as commemorative of the dying love of Christ, for the use and edification of the church; and that baptism ought to be administered to none but believers and their household, and the Lord's Supper to none but such as credibly profess their faith in him. Baptism — Mat. 28. 19: Acts 2. 39 compared with Gen. 17. 7, 14 and Horn. Chap. 11. The Lord's Supper— Luke 22. 19, 20 ; 1 Cor. 11. 23, 26: 5.7, 8; 6. 9—11. Duties of Christians. 16. That obedience to the moral law as a rule of 11 life, a conscientious and uniform attendance on public worship and the observance of secret and family prayer, — an unreserved and entire consecration of property, influence, talents, and time to promote the glory of God and the salvation of men, are duties which every Christian is bound to discharge. John 14. 21: 15. 8, 14: 1 Cor. 6. 20.- 10. 31. Gal. 5. 22—26. Perpetuity of the Church — resurrection — final Judgment. 17. That God will have a church in the world to the end of time, when the dead shall be raised — the judgment shall sit — and the righteous be received into everlasting life, but the wicked doomed to everlasting destruction. Mat. 16. 18: Mat. 25. 31, 46: John 5. 28, 29.- Mat. 13. 24, 30 ; 2 Thes. 1. 7—9. Do you now before God and his people adopt and profess your belief in the foregoing summary of gos- pel doctrine and duty? Attend now to THE COVENANT. You do now in the sight of God, confess and la- ment your past opposition to God — the impenitence which so long characterised you — that unbelief which led you to reject a dying Saviour and the manifold transgressions of your lives, all of which things you do now cordially condemn; nevertheless you believe there is mercy for you in Christ, and that you have an ample warrant in His word to confide in Him and re^ ceive the forgiveness of all your sins. Jer. 14. 7, 20, 21: Psalm 32. 5, 6. 12 You do therefore avouch the Father, Son and Ho- ly Spirit, the one only living and true God, to be your God; and receive the Father as your Father; the Son as your all-sufficient and only Redeemer; and the Holy Spirit as your sanctifier. Psalm 116. 13, 14 and 16—19, Professing unfeigned sorrow for your past sins, and renouncing all ungodliness and every wovldly lust, you do now freely, and in the fixed choice and purpose of your heart give up yourselves soul and body with all that you have, to be the Lord's promising to walk before Him in holiness and love all the days of your life, diligently discharging the duties of all your rela- tions, making war against every sinful passion, crucifying your affections and lusts and endeavouring to walk after the example of Christ. Psalm 73. 25: 1 Thes. 3. 12, 13: Eph. 5. 21, 22, 25: 6. 1, 4, 5,9: Gal. 5. 19—26. You receive the brethren in Christ of this church, as your brethren, and His friends as your friends, and promise to watch over them with all christian fideli- ty and tenderness. Heb. 3. 12, 13; 1 Thes. 5. 14. You do also submit to the government of Christ in His church, and to the regular administration of it in this church in particular. 1 Thes. 5. 12, 13; Heb. 13. 17. You do also covenant to walk in communion with your brethren of this church, uniting with them in at- tending on, and contributing of your pecuniary means 13 to. the support of public worship, whilst you continue to be members of this church; and when in the provi- dence of God you may be called to reside elsewhere, still to profess your adherence to God by entering into visible fellowship with some christian church where the ordinances of the gospel may be maintained 1 Thes 5. 15: Eph 2. 19. And you do finally engage to live as an humble christian, by conscientiously discharging your duty, and particularly when in health and not prevented by the providence of God, by taking care not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together with your brethren for divine worship ; by commemorating the death of Christ at his table; by maintaining secret and family prayer; by remembering the Sabbath day to keep it ho- ly and to abstain from unnecessary business, travel- ling and recreations on it; by cultivating peace with all and fellowship with the saints; by contributing by your prayers, efforts, example and liberality to promote the prosperity of the church of God; by renouncing the fel- lowship of wicked & ungodly men ; by maintaining up- rightness and honesty in all your worldly transactions; and by avoiding every known sin, particularly your besetting sins, the injuring of a brother's reputation attendance at balls, dancings, theatres and such like demoralizing amusements, conformity to a sinful world, and whatsoever might prove a stumbling block in the way of sinners or wound and bring reproach upon the cause of Christ. Heb. 10. 25: Psalm 101. 2, 7: 122. 6—9. Rom. 12. 2. All this in humble dependence on the grace of God you solemnly engage ? 14 (Here Baptism will be administered to such as have not before received it.) A 1> DRE S S. Beloved in the Lord )^ou have witnessed a good confession: you have recognized and assented to en- gagements from which you never can escape. Your vows will meet you at the bar of God. You never can be as you have been, but must henceforth and for- ever be the servants of God. From the holy and rea- sonable obligations you have just recognised, you can never absolve yourselves. Nor can you separate your- selves from God's visible church, and cease to walk with His professing people in the ordinances of the gospel, without being guilty of covenant breaking, and exposing yourselves to the righteous displeasure o God. You cannot be justified in absenting yourselves from the worship and ordinances of Christ's house for any other reason than such as may be resolved into the overruling and controlling providence of God. You are the Lord's by your own solemn act of self- commitment, and we trust that you do sincerely de- sire, and will constantly aim, to live only for Him to whom you have now consecrated all the powers of your being. The eyes of the world will be upon you. As ) r ou demean yourselves so will religion and this church through you be honored or disgraced. If you live according to the gospel, you will be a comfort and a credit to us, but if not, a stumbling block, the grief of our heart and a vexation. We charge you before God to be holy in all manner of holy conversation and godliness. 15 "[Here the persons received by certificate from oth- er churches and all the members of the church will rise, when the new members will be addressed in the following or similar language of] AC CEPTATION. In consequence of your professions and engage- ments, we receive you into our communion as mem- bers of this church, and promise to watch over you with true affection and tenderness, ever treating you in love, as members of the body of Christ, who is Head over all things to the church. This we do im- ploring of the great Shepherd of Israel our common Lord and Redeemer, that both you and we may have wisdom and grace to be faithful in His covenant, and to glorify Him with the holiness which becometh his house for ever, Amen.

The account of dismissions, deaths, &c. in the above list is brought up to September 14th, and no further. The dates of dismission are not given. A very- large number were dismissed in 1S32, 33. The last account which was rendered to Presbytery, was in April, 1S32, when the registered number of commu- nicants was G52. The reports made to Presbytery are, and ever have been uniformly made from the Regis- ter, and never by counting the number of persons actually communing at onetime. Owing to sickness, and afflictions in families, absence from the place, and other causes, the number of persons actually com- muning on any one occasion, fall far short of the en- tire number of communicants, and this number has varied from 150 to upwards of 250. On no two oc- casions have the entire number of persons commun- ing been the same. The average number of persons actually communing, owing to the above mentioned and other causes, always fall short of the entire num- ber of regular communicants, in proportions above stated — the average number communing increasing proportionally, as the entire number of registered members increases. To estimate or represent the number of the communing members of the church, from the number of pews or seats occupied by persons actually at one time communing, would be as certain to deceive, as it would be altogether unpresbyterial and unbecoming an officer of the church, whose duty it is to be acquainted with the Register and to report accurately to Presbytery. 46 _ The number of pews appropriated to the use of communicants, and which ordinarily when there has been no dissention among the members, and general health has prevailed, have been filled is 70 which will on an average without incommoding the occu- pants accommodate 3S0 persons. On different occa- sions, when ihe season, weather, and other circum- stances, were favourable there has been a much larg- er attendance of communicants, and the number of pews appropriated for their use has been increased. 1 he frequency of the communion, occurring regular- ly every two months, renders a sacramental occasion by no means an extraordinary event. Some persons, a few insulated individuals, have re-, moved from the bounds of the congregation, taking with them travelling certificates without ever being- dismissed, and have probably become connected with other churches unknown to the Session. Their names however, are retained on the Register, and are in- eluded in the reports made in obedience to the deci- sion of the General Assembly, who in 1S25, ordained "that church members who have been absent, for a number of years in unknown places, are by no means to liave their names erased from tlj^pprtirches to which they belong." p. 256. The names of females when they joined the church are retained, without noticing the changes which they have since sustained by Marriage. The entire number of communicants now belong- ing to the church, is 489. The greatest number re- ceived into communion during any one year, was 1 25. In IS 23 the number was 12 1, in IS 31 - I in 47 1834 not yet completed 94. The least number re- ceived into communion during any one year was 11, viz: in 1S26. At every communion season there has been an addition of one or more. FINIS. fe •
