FRATERNAL ORDERS
GOOD BUT NOT
SOUL SAVERS
DR.. Bulgin Praises Lodges,
but Condemns Some of
Their Features.

DR.. Bulgin talked to the fraternal
lodgemen Of the city Tuesday night.
He praised the good OF the secret or
ders, said that they were what men
needed, took the ElkS and other lodges
to task for having bars in their club
rooms and advised them all TO ac-
knowledge and accept Christ and be-
come members Of the greatest brother
hood known, the brotherhood of the
church.
Changing his tactics from those used
Saturday night in his attack on Chris
tan science, DR.. Bulgin talked with the
lodge man as lodgemen talk together.
He divided his subjects into three parts
and discussed the evils of the lodge
along with the good. His subject mat
ter was taken from the well known
story of David and Jonathan.
1.-The one thing this world wants is q
brotherhood that has been proved he
said. The Elks, Maccabees. Masons
and the other lodges give more to one
another. to help each other over the
rough places, than most church MEM
berS. I want to commend such broth
erhood. There is another thing you
do. You give men sympathy when they
need it. This world wants an idea
where men will not stand alone but
will have a mutual brotherhood sor ths
Christ can supply this want. Next to
that I commend the brotherhood Of
the Elks, the Masons and the other
lodges.
"One of the three great evils of fra
ternal organiza tions is that too many
men get inside of the human brother
hood and rest there for salvation. If
they could get to heaven by means of
the secret societies. why was Jesus
Christ sent to earth?
81 hope the Lord will help the E1ks
to get rid of every dirty old bar where
men learn to drink. The order would
then grow over the country, for it is
based on the right principles. It is rs
much crime to drink over a lodge bar
as to go into a saloon. To pay barbills
with dues is only whipping the devil
around the stump"
Wednesday night DR.. Bulgin will
preach a sermon especially for the
Jews on Moses"
