22nd July 1837 Met in conference
the committee apointed on the charges
against Brother A Humphrey reported
then & they had attended to the case and
have been unable to find any evidence
to sustain the charges in its general true,
but that he (Bro Humphrey) had confesed
before them that he had sined he had
been a member of the church here so
miny intimates with a sister in the church
that he had embraced her in his arms and
kissed her he thinks five hundred times
which if there the committee thinks is
a crime of sufficient magnitude to
exclude him from the fellowship of
the church. If not true he of course
is guilty of lying with intention to
slander an inocent female member
of the church and if this
be the fact the committee is of opinion
it is also a crime sufficient to exclude
him. The committee therefore think that he
ought to be excluded from the fellowship
of the church and hence believing it will be
for the glory of God and for the good of
his course on earth.
The church convened with the committee
and Brother A. Humphrey was excommunicated
from the fellowship of the church.

Esther Brown reported that they had

Constitution of Island ford Baptist Church
By Reverend Silas King and Richard Phillips Ministers
and Joseph Morgan Samual Crow and John Hammonds Deacons
Upon the following articles of Faith
While we acknowledg the Rights of Private
Judgment Disclaim a Spirit of intolerance
And persecution in every Shape against any
Whoo may hold opinions different to our own
It is not with Standing Considered
certain that unity of faith and practice
are essential to the peace and good order of
every particular Church of Christ we
thare fore cordially express our warmest
approval of an Strict adherence to the
principals which have distinguished the
Baptist Demonination in gineral in the
United States
More particularly first we believe
in the being of God as almighty Eternal
Unchaingeable of infinite wisdom power
Justice Holiness Goodness mercy and truth and
that this God has Revealed Himself in
His word under the characters of
Farther Son and Holy ghost
2th we believe that the Scriptures of the
old and new Testaments are the word of
God and the only Rule of faith and practice
3th we believe in the fall of adam and the
importation of his Sin to his posterity in
the corruption of human nature and the
impoteney of man to Recover himself
56
IMAGE 138
By his own free will ability
4th) we believe that all Saints are chosen
In Christ Jesus to be Holy and obedient
accorden to Gods Sovreign purpose and
free Grace before the word begun and
that they all Receive the effectual Calls
of the holy Spirit and justified and kept by the
power of God through faith into Salvation
and finally Glory with Christ in heaven
5th) we believe there will be a Resurrection
Of the dead and a General judgment and the
Happiness of the Rigteteous and the punishment
Of the wicked will be Eternal
6th we believe Water Baptism and the Lords Supper
are perpetual ordinances of the Church on Earth
the former to be administered by immersion
only on a creditable profession of faith
as the Door to membership in the visible
church and the Latter after Baptism
as a token of Rememberance and Love
to Christ
7th) we believe that the Churches of Christ
are mutually independent of each other
And that a Strict form of Church
Government Should be inviolably
preserved yet being convinced of the
utility of friendly intercourse and
pious council on the principals of
reciprocal advantage and Christian
love we hold hit to be a duty to
pay Respect on this principals to the
to the advice and council of all Christians
