A RULE OF LIFE.

The following Rule of Life appears m the Chelmsford Diocesan Chronicle: — As a communicant member of Christ's Church, I desire *to take Jesus Christ as my Master and Leader throughout life, and I hereby pledge my loyalty to Him — cost what it may m my home, m my work, and m my friendships. I acknowledge that to follow Christ loyally I need the aid of His Church into which He has called me, and through which He helps me and comes to me. I promise, therefore, that I will:— 1. Worship each Sunday with Christ's family, unless prevented by illness or duty, keeping Holy Communion as the centre of my worship. 2. Read my Bible daily, and pray each morning and night. 3. Practise self-denial during the appropriate seasons of the Church, being guided m this by my parish clergy. 4. Regard my possessions as a trust from God, and, among other things, give regularly to the Church at home and abroad. 5. Make no important decision m my life without first seeking to find out God's will for me. 6. Always be ready to serve my parish church m any way I can. 7. Seek to bring others into the Church and help them to become sincere members of its fellowship. Before making my Easter Communion I will examine my way of living to see if I am following this rule of life^ both m letter and m spirit.

If I decide to cease from following it, I promise that I will return this form immediately to my parish clergy.
