Why the Secret Society I* More Popular with the Men Than the Church- Meed of a Warmer-Hearted Itrotherly Love. I COPYRIGHT. 1895 Rev. Mr. Mauss, u Congregational pastor of Chicago, is reported by one of the Chicago dailies us having uttered the following: “Many men who are antagonistic to the church will not unite with it be- eau.ie they feel their religious wauls better satisfied in the lodge. Who is at fault that women constitute 80 per cent, of the church membership? In Chicago ! here are 200 churches and 1,200 lodges with an average membership of 200 men. We cannot say women are More superstitious than men and heme unite with the church. The rabid social democrat extols the religion of Christ, though denouncing the church of to-day. But lay not the blame to the religion of Jesus Christ. It is charged that the pulpit of to-day emphasizes the sovereignity of God and has absolute knowledge concerning the world beyond, and loves to denounce the tins of Cain and other ancients, but dure not raise its hands against the vice-, of to-day. Yet who dared to face Tammany, but the churches of New York? Christian charity has assumed an official air, and the philanthropy of the church has become the distribu tion of alms. The church must return to the apostolic days in the cure of her sick and the providing of her gifts. The loeiety man does not regard ituscharity to If* taken care of. lie lias paid his assignments and his clues, ilis visit ors eome not as paid secretaries or as official clergymen, but as brethren. Lay off' the authoritative rolies.und let heaii touch heart. The democratic spirit which predominates in the control of affairs in the lodges is in marked con- irast with the ecclesiustieism of some of the churches. All men desire au thority, and in the lodge every 11111:1 can exercise his authority. In the lodge men know their widows and orphans will be taken care of. They have no assurance of this in the church. Y'et it is in Christian countries that we find orphan homes and asylums. The ideal secret societies are manifest or dor mant in the Christian churches, and to the external must lie added the .’elation of the soul to its God. Let the church claim her rights and exercise them. Let her live the life of her Master, and she will fulfill not only the demands 01 the lodge, but also lead men to satis faction of theyearningsof their iiearts." Without approving or disapproving, without agreeing altogether with 01 differing altogether from Bev. Mi. Munss, there are many suggestions to a mind which thinks in the quota! iom- above which I have given from liissei mon. In my perigrinations over this country I find the lodges in most quai ters flourishing, with large and grow ing memberships and with constant in tereut spurring them along. The masons, the odd fellows, the Knight: of Pythias, the Shriners, the Order ol Med Men, and so on and so on, flourish ulmost everywhere. The interest in these secret societies seems to be abid ing. It is not an unusual thing to at tend a masonic fraternity on a Tues day night and find 200 men present; and then attend the average Wednes day night prayer-meeting at a church and 40 is n full house, 00 isu perfect jam, and nine-tenths of these are women and children. Does the pastor aforesaid give the reason for such a state of tilings? Like the reverend gentleman from w hom I quote, 1 belong to several of these se cret societies myself. Men get very close to each other in a lodge. Having touched each other in the lodge they walk closer to each other on the street. Their words and signs and grips keej them close together; and yet it is in a Christian land that secret hocietie:- flourish most. The light of the Gospel the truth of the Bible makes it possible for brotherhood to exist and closest affinity to work. Do men get closer to gether within the house of God? Are they more in touch with each othei next day because they were together in a church the day iwifore? A church without its Christ, though it may have its Bible and its preacher, is coldet than a lodge, and there is less fraterni- : ty than we find in a lodge. What breth ren hi the same church look after each other in sickness and in distress? Dc they care for the widow and orphans 1 of tneir brethren in the church as they i do ’n the lodges? Have the lodges enough of the spirit of Christ to mak? them brotherly and generous to tin • widow and orphans? And yt tin.* than the Church of Hod. consideiation for srercl oidrrs of uli kinds 1 lie CliuM.*h ol Hod is broader aid Let ter and tin 10 in aII t he reint ions of life than all of them | ul together, if llie sj 1 • 1 it of ( hi I ..s» ml .dii d in tin* church, if Christ is bigger than the chinch. I owe more to (lie church than ail institutions combined. 1 would do inoro for thr church tlian all other institutions combined. I am jealous of l*.er name, of her iionor, of her integrity, of her life. It is well enough to discuss these things. We cannot turn them aside with a sneer or scoff. Facts must be met, and facts must be answered whether we w ill or not. If we do not meet and answer them they will meet mul answer us. I line the ministry, and love them as brethren; and yet him mueli of the blame, if blame should at tach. is to In* credited to them 1 will not .say if the chinch lias not tin* waimlii, tin' ‘ympatiiy, the motherly feeling lur beyond any .secret order know u to 1111*11.

I It is certain that the American naval * officer of the future will not be able to i enjoy the privileges afforded by a course of study at Greenwich naval college. An order is about to be issued by the admiralty forbidding the entry of any foreign officer into the naval college or on British warships. This order is not specially aimed at any power, but America and Japan will ge the chief sufferers, as fora longtime past they have been sending young officers to Greenwich for a two-years’ course. At present the only foreign ers at the naval college are two gradu ates of Annapolis and one Japanese officer. The order, however, does not apply to those who are now there, but it will keep out future applicants.
