Captain H. J. R. Lowe. J. Rennie, Esq. Captain Charleton. Captain Thom. CONSTITUTION. I. The name--"The London City Mission." II. The object of this Institution is to extend the knowledge of the Gospel among the inhabitants of London and its vicinity (especially the poor) without any reference to denominational distinctions, or the peculiarities of Church Government. III. To effect this object, Missionaries of approved character and qualifications, who shall give themselves entirely to the work, shall be employed and paid by the Institution. Their duty shall be to visit from house to house in the respective Districts that shall be assigned to them, read the Scriptures, engage in religious conversation, and urge those who are living in the neglect of religion to observe the Sabbath and to attend public worship. They shall also see that all persons possess the Scriptures, shall distribute approved religious tracts, and aid in obtaining Scriptural education for the children of the poor. By the approval of the Committee, they shall hold meetings for reading and expounding the Scriptures and prayer, and shall adopt such other means as the Committee may think necessary for the accomplishment of the Mission. IV. As the object of the Mission is to extend the knowledge of the Gospel, it is a fundamental law that the following doctrines be prominently taught by the Agents and publications of the Mission. They are given, "not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth."[3] "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."[4] "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us."[5] "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."[6] "The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth from all sin."[7] "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."[8] "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."[9] "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord."[10] "Ye are sanctified--by the Spirit of our God."[11] [3] I Cor. ii. 13.
