Russell put the following motion [nothing therein abolishing the form of admission to this Church as hitherto practised, which form still stands as the form of admission to full fellowship for all such persons as desire to use it]:

"Moved, that the persons who have signed their names to the following statement are thereby admitted to full fellowship with and in the Church of Christ of the First Parish of Weston, Massachusetts.

"Statement: In the love of truth and in the spirit of Jesus Christ we join for the worship of God and the service of man."
