FOR ADMISSION and TRANSFER OF MEMBERS ____________________________________________________________________________________ The church will examine all applicants for admission; it will grant dismission to its members in regular standing, on their application in writing, and recommend them to the fellowship of other churches, all such applications to be referred to the church committee when presented, to be reported upon at the nest succeeding meeting of the church. Members removing from the city, or who, from other cause, may cease to worship with this church, shall be required to obtain their dismission within one year thereafter unless circumstances be such as to render a union with any other church inexpedient; and in such case they shall Page 22--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inform the church why they have not requested a removal of their connection. It is expected that members of other churches who may wish to commune with this church for more than one year, will request a dismission from their respective churches and an admission to this church, unless they give satisfactory reasons for delay to the standing committee. Candidates for membership shall be proposed at least tow weeks before their admission, having bee approved by the church, shall become members by making a public profession, and signing the articles of faith and covenant adopted by this church.
