WORSE REMEDIES 331 



PRESENTS AND TESTIMONIALS. 



1. Officers are expected to refuse utterly, and to prevent, if 

 possible, even the proposal of any present or testimonial to 

 them. 



2. Of course, an Officer who is receiving no salary, or only 

 part salary, may accept food or other gifts, such as are needed 

 to meet his wants ; but it is dishonourable for any one who is 

 receiving their salary to accept gifts of food also. 



THE DOCTRINES OF THE SALTATION ARMY. 



The principal Doctrines taught in the Army are as follows : 



1. "We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New 

 Testament were given by inspiration of God, and that they only 

 constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice. 



2. We believe there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, 

 the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things. 



3. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead 

 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence, 

 coequal in power and glory, and the only proper object of 

 religious worship. 



4. We believe that, in the person of Jesus Christ, the Divine 

 and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly 

 God, and truly and properly man. 



5. We believe that our first parents were created in a state of 

 innocency, but by their disobedience they lost their purity and 

 happiness ; and that, in consequenee of their fall, all men have 

 become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed 

 to the wrath of God. 



6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has, by His suffering 

 and death, made an atonement for the whole world, so that 

 whosoever will may be saved. 



7. We believe that repentance towards God, faith in our Lord 

 Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, are necessary 

 to Salvation.
