The Secret Society and the Church.
Churches and pastors quite commonly
take more or less radical positions on
wha. Is asserted to be the in1urious
antagonism OF the secret society or
lodge" 10 the church. but the Rev.
+. f.. blanchard. of Tallman. N. V.
while admitting the injury. offers
homeopa .tic remedy in recommending
that the church should initiate what
he regards as the superior methods
of The lodge. The leading features in
which he discovers such superiority
were briefly summarized by the Chica-
go Inter Ocean recently.
The ;nitiat.on-The lodge tries to
makes this Impressive and illustrative
often in vivid, dramatic form, of its
moral doctrines and rules of conduct.
Furthermore. knowledge Of these cere-
monies is confined to members The
formula of entrance into most churches
Is 100 unimpressive. mystical. rather
than practical. and containing little or
nothing illustrative of the meaning of
Christian fellowship. Furthermore it
Is public. Practical brotherhood and
benevolence-The fraternal spirit be-
gotten by the initiation is fostered by
the frequent meetings of lodge mem
bers by themselves. Relief Is given not
as aims, but as right of the receiver
and as duty of his brethren. There
is an express or clearly implied con-
tract of mutual assistance. under
which aid is given without impairing
self-respect. But the church." said
