The covenant of membership is as follows :-— " Believing that Satan is still the god of this world ; that under his reign multitudes
of souls are perishing daily ; and that the darkness is likely to gvow deeper and deeper until the glorious appearance of the Son of Righteousness, I gladly consent to pray often and earnestly—(l) That the Lord Jesus may come- quickly ; (2) that all believers ' n all lauds may to tilled with the Holy Spirit and entirely consecrated to God ; (3) that the Gospel may be everywhere preached m tile power Jof the Holy Ghost, and that the 4 fulness of the Gentiles' may soon be gathered m.";
