　　　I　believe　that　it　is　the　privilege　of　all　God's　people　to　be
〃wholly　sanctified；〃　and　that　〃their　whole　spirit　and　soul　and　body〃
may　〃be　preserved　blameless　unto　the　coming　of　our　Lord　Jesus　Christ。〃
That　is　to　say；　I　believe　that　after　conversion　there　remain　in　the
heart　of　the　believer　inclinations　to　evil；　or　roots　of　bitterness；
which；　unless　overpowered　by　Divine　grace；　produce　actual　sin；　but
these　evil　tendencies　can　be　entirely　taken　away　by　the　Spirit　of　God；
and　the　whole　heart　thus　cleansed　from　anything　contrary　to　the　will
of　God；　or　entirely　sanctified；　will　then　produce　the　fruit　of　the
Spirit　only。　And　I　believe　that　persons　thus　entirely　sanctified　may；
by　the　power　of　God；　be　kept　unblamable　and　unreprovable　before　Him。

　　　I　believe　in　the　immortality　of　the　soul；　in　the　resurrection　of
the　body；　in　the　general　judgment　at　the　end　of　the　world；　in　the
eternal　happiness　of　the　righteous；　and　in　the　everlasting　punishment
of　the　wicked。

THEREFORE；　I　do　here；　and　now；　and　for　ever；　renounce　the　world　with
all　its　sinful　pleasures；　companionship　treasures；　and　objects；　and
declare　my　full　determination　boldly　to　show　myself　a　Soldier　of　Jesus
Christ　in　all　places　and　companies；　no　matter　what　I　may　have　to
suffer；　do；　or　lose；　by　so　doing。

　　　I　do　here　and　now　declare　that　I　will　abstain　from　the　use　of　all
intoxicating　liquors；　and　also　from　the　habitual　use　of　opium；
laudanum；　morphia；　and　all　other　baneful　drugs；　except　when　in　illness
such　drugs　shall　be　ordered　for　me　by　a　doctor。

　　　I　do　here　and　now　declare　that　I　will　abstain　from　＇323＇　the　use　of
all　low　or　profane　language；　from　the　taking　of　the　name　of　God　in
vain；　and　from　all　impurity；　or　from　taking　part　in　any　unclean
conversation　or　the　reading　of　any　obscene　book　or　paper　at　any　time；
in　any　company；　or　in　any　place。

　　　I　do　here　declare　that　I　will　not　allow　myself　in　any　falsehood；
deceit；　misrepresentation；　or　dishonesty；　neither　will　I　practise　any
fraudulent　conduct；　either　in　my　business；　my　home；　or　in　any　other
relation　in　which　I　may　stand　to　my　fellow　men；　but　that　I　will　deal
truthfully；　fairly；　honourably；　and　kindly　with　all　those　who　may
employ　me　or　whom　I　may　myself　employ。

　　　I　do　here　declare　that　I　will　never　treat　any　woman；　child；　or
other　person；　whose　life；　comfort；　or　happiness　may　be　placed　within
my　power；　in　an　oppressive；　cruel；　or　cowardly　manner；　but　that　I　will
protect　such　from　evil　and　danger　so　far　as　I　can；　and　promote；　to　the
utmost　of　my　ability；　their　present　welfare　and　eternal　salvation。

　　　I　do　here　declare　that　I　will　spend　all　the　time；　strength；　money；
and　influence　I　can　in　supporting　and　carrying　on　this　War；　and　that　I
will　endeavour　to　lead　my　family；　friends；　neighbours；　and　all　others
whom　I　can　influence；　to　do　the　same；　believing　that　the　sure　and　only
way　to　remedy　all　the　evils　in　the　world　is　by　bringing　men　to　submit
themselves　to　the　government　of　the　Lord　Jesus　Christ。

　　　I　do　here　declare　that　I　will　always　obey　the　lawful　orders　of　my
Officers；　and　that　I　will　carry　out　to　the　utmost　of　my　power　all　the
Orders　and　Regulations　of　The　Army；　and　further；　that　I　will　be　an
example　of　faithfulness　to　its　principles；　advance　to　the　utmost　of　my
ability　its　operations；　and　never　allow；　where　I　can　prevent　it；　any
injury　to　its　interests　or　hindrance　to　its　success。

＇324＇　And　I　do　here　and　now　call　upon　all　present　to　witness　that　I
enter　into　this　undertaking　and　sign　these　Articles　of　War　of　my　own
free　will；　feeling　that　the　love　of　Christ　who　died　to　save　me
requires　from　me　this　devotion　of　my　life　to　His　service　for　the
Salvation　of　the　whole　world；　and　therefore　wish　now　to　be　enrolled　as
a　Soldier　of　the　Salvation　Army。
