ARE SECRET SOCIETIES UNCHRISTIAN This is
the question that arises to the mind after reading
two printed circulars from a gentleman for some

gational Church. Honolulu" and the other to
The Ministers of the NJ. E. Church Conference, Cal
ifornia." Is both the writer gives evidence of
symptoms of a species of rabies, which impels him
to declare that Secret Societies are a curse to the
Church of Christ in Honolulu and that Ministers
becoming members of Masonic orders, Odd Eel
lows. and other secret organizations. are acting
