ANTIMASONRY AT BOSTON.

The convention of the National
Christian association at Boston, Thurs
day, devoted itself solely to the exposi-
ton of the evils of Freenasonry. Rev.
DR.. Milligan of Pittsburg, one of the
speakers likened the Masonic society
to the Jesuits, and said the inspiration
of both was of a piece. sit is q con-
slant conspiracy against society, the
church and the Commonwealth. Its
ties of relationship are closer than
those of blood, of Christian brother
hood and even of marriage, a relation
ship concealed from the world and
guarded by secret signs and pass
words" and much more to the same
effect. If all this is true, Masonry is
really q horrible thing, hut how does
DIR. Milligan know? Was he ever
Mason? And if 50, how dare he VIC
late these obligations when he knows
the penalty will be so terrible? He
takes his life in his hand and goes on
this crusade, and nobody harms him.
How is that? lie complains that the
ties of Masonry are closer than those
of Christian brotherhood. SO much
the worse for Christian brotherhood.
Whatever may be the defects of Ma
sorry, it is able to set the church a
good example in its fostering care of
its members, its regard for their tenn
poral interests, and its sympathy and
help in times of sickness and distress.
Until we see the bad results of this
awful conspiracy, we may continue to
judge it by the Christian test, "By
their fruits We shall know them
At a meeting at the Boston music
hall, in the evening, the Natio nal
Christians attempted to give a sample
of the workings of lodge, but the
audience, which had been very good
natured and quiet, would keep still no
longer, and by u constant clapping of
hands and stamping of feet, made the
performance a mere pantomime, as
not word of the alleged Masonic
ritual could be heard. The National
Christian association has mistaken its
calling. 1t has zeal, but not accord
ing to knowledge, and can make its
fight against anti-Christ more effective
by attacking it in some more vulner-
able quarter. A singular episode of
the convention was the reading of a
letter from James G.. Blaine, who
hastened to say that he was not a
Mason. -SprinafeM Union.
