mutual benefit, they say; but you cannot
mix the godly with the ungodly.
| speak in all kindness, want you to
see what God says, not what the man in
the pulpit says. James 4, 4, Ye adult
erers and adulteresses, know We not that
the friendship Of the world is enmity
with God? Whosoever, therefore, will
be a friend of the world is the enemy of
God.
The marriage of godly men and
women with ungodly was now dwelt up
on at some length, but as that was some
thing of depression from the subject
of secret societies, we will omit it. Pro
ceeding the speaker said:
| shall not expose the Odd Fellows.
| knoC great more than some of you
mdSonS do aud 1 could raise such
rumpuS that aoould raise the root, but
| don't want to prey on your feelings;
| feel kindly and it is only featherheads
who will get mad and fly up, thinking
man will mediate upon what he hears.
God says separate yourselves from the
unclean, apply this to your lodge and
see what your duty will be.
But aren't there any good men in the
lodges? Yes, they just scramble to get
hold of preacher, and when they get
him what a fat thing they have got!!
Then they strip him naked and play the
new birth, and the resurrection. Maybe
a great big rumseller has been dragging
him around but he is sworn to secrecy
and if you expose anything you are a
perjurer. A pretty place for minister
Of God!!!
/ think christian man has a right to
break an oath, if he repents of his sin
Now let me talk to you as Brother
Wolfe and not as the savage creature
to the dancing christians and the theatre
going christians, let me speak as unto
wise men,
See here, you let me go down to one
of these saloons and fill up on Jersey
stout, and let someone see me coming
up the street with my hair banged over
my eyes; how many of these fellows
would have any respect for me? What
influence would | have? The old fraud
you ought to tar and feather him and
ride him on rail.
A preacher may increase his salary
by striving to make himself popular in
questionable ways, but let me say, |
have clear conscience, I'd rather have
dry bread and the lamp post than be one
of those preachers who can't speak their
mind.
Just put that down in your notebook
for | may not preach this sermon again.
want you to keep good natured now,
FOR if you don't | will / believe that
by and by the church will become so
corrupt that God will separate his saints;
the ungodly get into the churchs in
every way. Look at your singers, they
are theatrical harlots hired to spuawk
for you, there is some plain Anglo
Saxon that you cant get around.
Christ is opposed to Belial, | like to
prounce it Be-l-al because that puts a
lie in it.
The disastrous results of the marri-
age of Ahab, king of Israel, with Jeze-
bel serves as warning now against an
ungodly marriage, the first captivity Of
the Jews was caused by disobedience to
Gods commands on this subject. We
in these days should not lust after these
things as they did.
The principal reason l speak of ma
sonry tonight is because it is the moth
er of all societies and it is the most
cunningly devised.
will simply give you what / believe
to be the truth that masonry IS not
more than 200 gears old, If that.
The analysis of one society is the
analysis of all; They claim to have a
religion, what kind? Organized DeiSm
The Lex Naturalis their only law.
The society is an organized depotisn,
with unlimited power of tacdtion.
know what their secrets are but / shall
not tell, know them ALL
| know whether | am free mason
now or ever have been one; but you see
| know something about it.
Freemasonry is system of Judaism,
salvation by good works.
1t is a public fact that dead mason
no matter what his life may have been
is transferred by the society directly to
the grand lodge above. You know
what the symbols are, the square com
pass, ETC., and what they signify. You
know that it the Lord Jesus Christ was
to come down and knock at the door for
admission at your lodge you couldn't
let him in 1t would disturb the unity
and harmony
You know that the Hebrew cannot
go beyond the third degree. You know
that the Christ of Masonry and the
Christ Of Christendon are not the same.
Who is the Christ of theKnightTemp-
lar? A false Christ. The name of the
true Christ is excluded from their books.
Robert Morrison says that the masonic
order is intensely christian, but I say,
anti-christian.
A candidate for admission kneels up
on crossed swords placed on an open
bible and takes libation from human
skull.
Many ministers are led into this, but
the religion Of masonery is pure Theism.
The Godhead and the name of Christ
are left out
Masonry is first, and Christianity
last If they have Christ, the light Of
the world, why put it under bushel2
You have such good things in your old
lodge, why not let everybody in? Why
exclude the blind and the.lame? They
cant 60 through your performances and
ride you goat. Why are they sworn to
conceal the truth and never to reveal it?
Their creeds are damnable herasiesl
You say morality is taught. What
is that? Fanaticism, is the bible name
