creeds.-sA supreme being, the creator,
npholder, governor ana sovereign Lord
OF all; sell dependent and the only being
that is such, eternal, and the only eter-
nal, all sufficient, all blessed aud ever
blessed; the supreme. good, omDipotent,
omniscient. omnipresent, inetfable one,
absolutely perfect. sovereign over His
own actions, though always according to
the eternal rule of right which is him
self: yet in the works of creation, con-
servatien. government, retribution, max
ing himself, as 1t were, the IN mister and
servant OF all; taking an int crest and
having a sympathy IN matters of time
and space. and imposing on rational
beings. in VIII ose hearts He has written
the moral, the duty of worship and ser
vice."
