The spenker thon went into a gonora) bletory of Froomasonry, from ita firgt catablishmont, in tho year 1717, In tho Unitod Btatos, to the preseut time, rocounting much that had slready boon satd by previous spoakers. His ohior objection to Masonry, et ok, apart from thelr mocrocy and ab- surd oaths, waa that tho Lord Jeaus Christ was slwoys loft ot the door by tho person entoiing s lodge to bocome a member. Ho also reviewad the anclent history of Magonry in Europe, saying that it was ae old 28 the pyramida of the Nile,—ns old ss idolatry ftselt, Sevoral highly-colored ornaments had Dbeon tacked ou to the old system, 8o a8 to make it presontable in the cyes of Christians. It had been asserted by a prominent Masonio writer, in 1867, that **Isfs discovered tho model of Freomasonry among the nations of Tartary," ‘Webb, in his Freemason's Monitor, had writton, **Our records inform us t! at the usages and cus- toms of Masons havo ovor corrosponded with thosa of tho Egyptnin philosonhers, to which thoy bear n near afiinity.” Iuis, tho roputed founder of the institution, was' the founder of * gun-worahip.” Thus high honor was paid to ber and othoer heathens in every branch of Aa- sonry, Thoy associatod with the altar the sun, ?‘,\d all othor symbols had a heathenish giguitica~ o "VICRENING 70 TIE THUE CHBISTIAN HEARE, ‘Tho Mason swora ctorual alleglance to that ro- Hfihn. which was the vory autipodes of the Christion faith, Tho Masons hold that univorasl Masonry Lad but ‘ona altar as tho centroof & gront brotherbood. ~ Musovically considoiod, one strictly-adhoring Muson Wa8 a8 RO By anothor, 'Lhe saloon-koepor was the minislor's sworn brothor, oven though bo might be a drunkard, which was rather 8 singular styla of fratermty, snd must be looked ugon a8 pa tioularly dignitied and becoming—his relation- ship—in & minister of God. Masona weia called ** Brothron of, tho Mystio Tie." To thoir altar tho followeis of cvery lLeathen creed aro welconied as brothers, Iv is only requirad of them to beliove in some kind of a God. No- bammodans, Buddhists, Confucians, fire- worshipera—all jmight come, but Josus Christ must bo left outside tho door, Tho very Jow was ndmftted with pleasuro—he who bolluved in 1> Chbrist erucifiod for the salvation of human souls and arisen from the dead, Tho epenkor then ontored jnto quite a vehe- ment disseztation on THE MINISTER who consonted to leave Christ at the veatibule, Ho Lad no worda tuo severo to oxpress his disapprobation of 80 unchristian aud sacrilogious a preacher of the Gospel. Tho heathenism of Masonry—ita very foundation—accounted for tlie Olnistless recltations the membors indulged THE NOND OF MASONRY . (which can bo found in auy manuul of tho Order) W noxt dealt with, Among other things, Masous wore compelled to rendor just obediouce to the Grand Lodge of “tho Btato, and also to obey all signs and summong handed, eent, or thrown from o brother or the lodgo, This sccounted for the fact that the Gad’y Hill robbers returned » wateh to oue of tha parties plundered by them, because it bore & Masonicowmblom i tho en- amol. This showed Lhat tho much-lsuded Order had members among such crediinble mombets of anciet_v asthe Gad's Hill desperudvos aud mur~ erers. Manons wero likewise bound to_refrain from spoakiug ovis of a brother Master Mason, bofora his face sud behind his back, and slso to warn bim of spproaching danger. 'Tlis recalled to Lim that a youug Jady friend of his had been led asiray by a Mason, and when sho ro- proached = him, and solicited reparation, he coolly replied: “ Now, Maggis, you ncedu't 0 to making a fusa about the matter with me. 'm a Mason, and you canuot hurt me anyhow.” ‘That man was warned that a warrant was out for s airest, and contrived to eseape from the State, Thus Masonry protocted crime, and sided in the dostruction of {nnacsuce, Tho speaker held that auy man's life dirocted by tho Covennnt muet coilict with the duty he owed to Lis fawmily, to socioty, to law, and to Christianity. [Applause.] The marriage bond and tho boud that mado the Mason were at vari- anoce, because tho latter sowed DISTRUST DETWEEN HUSDAND AND WIFE, broke their mutual confldouce, and propared the way for domestio jars, and even a sepniation. Tho Bilile, too, was dograded by Magsomc usagos, being always made secondary to the rule, com- n48, and square. Not o single guotation fiom ho sacred book wns made in the interest of God, in the interest of Obrisi—all was world- 1y. TApplause.] The spesker, after dealing in some goneral ro- marks, brought his address to a close by suping that the work of the * craft" was not for eu- naucing Christian virtue, building up broken mauhood, or saving donthlogs oals, but wue & ceaselesy offors at soll-iggrandizemout.

In tho degree of Kuighthood, it was claimed that Christianity was ropresonted, while the fact was that Knighthood aud Chris- tianity woro confounded togother, Masonty was, in fact, n foul usurper, which, in tho namo of benevolouce, Btruck at truc religion, Ho claimed that Magonry wss not bonevolont—it 'wag, on the other band, callous and proscriptive, It beeded the rich nlone, and neglected the poor, the lnme, and the bhnd. Was that a form of ro- ligon to nssumo for itselt a splendor sbove and boyond Obristinuity ? Wheto, thon, was the ox= amplo of Jesus Christ? His_oredturos—Hia cliosen—were the vory classos) that Mnsnn? rejocted from its pale. [Loud applause.] It appoered to bim thot the Masonio Order was roally bont upon self-gratulation and unduo egotism, Mlanmz was o voloano oharped with turioua and faal fires, aimiug attho destruction of tho Christian Church, and the humiliation of all good men. Ho coupidored tho oaths and Eem_um_ most profano; most blasphomous and orriblo in their naturo, ‘Tho existonco of this hoathenish institution was a0 wsult to the Christian community. 1t was 3 coustant threat to American principles, and even to the oxistence of tho American Gov- ernmont itself. [Applause,] Should it, thon, bo tolerated? Thoy were only the foromost rankof » grand army that was marching aguinst the hosts of Balial, Tho cloud of opposition was still small, but it would spresd over tho American sky, sud darken the faces of the American poo- ple against the infamous Ausonio Bucioty.
