sanctified；〃　and　that　〃the　whole　spirit　and　soul　and　body〃　may　〃be
preserved　blameless　unto　the　coming　of　our　Lord　Jesus　Christ。〃　That　is　to
say；　we　believe　that　after　conversion　there　remain　in　the　heart　of　the
believer　inclinations　to　evil；　or　roots　of　bitterness；　which；　unless
overpowered　by　Divine　grace；　produce　actual　sin；　but　that　these　evil
tendencies　can　be　entirely　taken　away　by　the　Spirit　of　God；　and　the　whole
heart；　thus　cleansed　from　everything　contrary　to　the　will　of　God；　or
entirely　sanctified；　will　then　produce　the　fruit　of　the　Spirit　only。　And
we　believe　that　persons　thus　entirely　sanctified　may；　by　the　power　of　God；
be　kept　unblamable　and　unreprovable　before　Him。

11。　We　believe　in　the　immortality　of　the　soul；　in　the　resurrection　of　the
body；　in　the　general　judgment　at　the　end　of　the　world；　in　the　eternal
happiness　of　the　righteous；　and　in　the　everlasting　punishment　of　the
wicked。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　DECLARATION。

I　HEREBY　DECLARE　that　I　will　never；　on　any　consideration；　do　anything
calculated　to　injure　The　Salvation　Army；　and　especially；　that　I　will
never；　without　first　having　obtained　the　consent　of　The　General；　take　any
part　in　any　religious　services　or　in　carrying　on　services　held　in
opposition　to　the　Army。

I　PLEDGE　MYSELF　to　make　true　records；　daily；　on　the　forms　supplied　to　me；
of　what　I　do；　and　to　confess；　as　far　as　I　am　concerned；　and　to　report；　as
far　as　I　may　see　in　others；　any　neglect　or　variation　from　the　orders　or
directions　of　The　General。

I　FULLY　UNDERSTAND　that　he　does　not　undertake　to　employ　or　to　retain　in
the　service　of　The　Army　any　one　who　does　not　appear　to　him　to　be　fitted
for　the　work；　or　faithful　and　successful　in　it；　and　I　solemnly　pledge
myself　quietly　to　leave　any　Army　Station　to　which　I　may　be　sent；　without
making　any　attempt　to　disturb　or　annoy　The　Army　in　any　way；　should　The
General　desire　me　to　do　so。　And　I　hereby　discharge　The　Army　and　The
General　from　all　liability；　and　pledge　myself　to　make　no　claim　on　account
of　any　situation；　property；　or　interest　I　may　give　up　in　order　to　secure
an　engagement　in　The　Army。

I　understand　that　The　General　will　not　be　responsible　in　any　way　for　any
loss　I　may　suffer　in　consequence　of　being　dismissed　from　Training；　as　I　am
aware　that　the　Cadets　are　received　into　Training　for　the　very　purpose　of
testing　their　suitability　for　the　work　of　Salvation　Army　Officers。

I　hereby　declare　that　the　foregoing　answers　appear　to　me　to　fully　express
the　truth　as　to　the　questions　put　to　me；　and　that　I　know　of　no　other　facts
which　would　prevent　my　engagement　by　The　General；　if　they　were　known　to
him。
