Masonic Sermon.

MASONIC SERMON .

By Rev . H . Attwood Percival , Chaplain Normal Park Lodge , No . 797 , A . F . & A . M ., Minister of the Normal Park Presbyterian Church , Chicago , III . " And remembared not the brotherly covenant . "—Amos i , 9 .

" Let brotherly love continue . "—Heb . an , 1 . FROM the earliest ages it has been customary for men to enter into covenant relations . Memorable alliances , implied or formally expressed , are traceable in the history of all nations of antiquity , associated with solemn and imposing religious

ceremonies . By way of illustration , I might refer you to the covenant between Abraham and Abimeleck , Jonathan and David , Abab and Benhadad , Damoa and Pythias . The text refers to the covenant between Solomon , King of Israel , and Hiram , King of Tyre .

The people of Tyre had sold as slaves to Bdom the people of Jerusalem , who , after its downfall , remembering the covenant , had fled to Tyre for safety . Because they " remembered not the brotherly covenant , " Jehovah visited Tyre with sore punishment . These covenant principles , indicated by the text , are eternal .

They have the sanction of the wise and good of all nations , as well as the approval of God ; and the Fraternal ties which to-day bind Brotherhoods are as sacred as the covenant made between Solomon and Hiram . It seems to be inherent in human nature for man to forget . Eeminders in the form of covenant obligations are therefore good . In the history of man can be discovered a

strong tendency away from selfishness towards mutual helpfulness and protection . From mere obligations to one ' s family , the growth has been to the community , and then to the nationality , and so on until the most wretched have seen the immortal light and are lifted up by the grand thought , " God is my father ; I am a man , and man is my brother . "

Foremost among institutions which embody this idea is Free and Accepted Masonry , an institution founded on eternal reason and truth , whose deep foundation is the civilisation of mankind , whose everlasting glory is to have the immovable support of those two mighty pillars , Science and Morality .

I . SECRET SOCIETIES .

The present age is very fruitful of the kinds of auxiliaries and organisations within the wide bounds of the Church of God . The Masonic Order was in its institution simply a great auxiliary to the church . Masonry does not claim to be a system of religion , but asks to be regarded as a handmaid to Christianity .

And why not ? During the last year the Craft in Great Britain gave 1 , 000 dollars a day , and in Ontario 1 , 000 dollars a week to relieve sorrow and assuage pain . The Lakeside Home , Toronto , capable of receiving 240 children and forty nurses , is the gift of Masonry , and we in the United States are not behind .

I say , let all secret societies'be judged by their fruits . This is Christ ' s measuring rule , by which men are judged the world over and the ages through . Alas ! alas ! that ecclesiastical tyranny , intolerance and bigotry , should break the bond which brings benevolence and brotherly love within the pale of the Church of God . And even , in this enlightened age , the pulpit sometimes

tries to stamp upon the Craft . Roman Catholicism , United Presbyterianism and others have excommunicated us . Pope Leo XIII ., writing 20 th April 1884 , denouncing Masonry , says , " The whole principle and object of the sect lies in what is vicious and criminal ; to join with these men , or in any way to help them , cannot be lawful . " " Its followers , joined together by secret

compact , and by wicked counsel , give help one to another and excite one another to an audacity for evil things . " Others , not Romanists , are not slow to say that " our Order , " along with other secret orders , are born of the devil . And that men belonging to them are grieving the Spirit and injuring the cause of God . We have secrets and signs , and what of it ? Where ' s the harm ?

I wonder if these people ever read the Bible . Why , there we read of the vows of Jacob ; the particular signs between David and Jonathan ; the workmen on the Temple had passwords and signs and grips ; and history records that because of persecution the early Christians had signs and signals for mutual protection ; and it is thus with societies to-day .

Nations have secrets . No one knew that Britain and the United States had resolved to arbitrate on the Behrmg Sea trouble until it was announced from headquarters . Why , the very welfare and stability of governments , the peace and prosperity of the people demand that matters of state policy be kept secret . And so we have mechanical and scientific secrets . We are only playing with electricity . Much is known about it

which must necessarily be kept from the multitude until simplified and protected for the public use . Then we have social and religious secrets . The doctor holds the secrets of his patients , the lawyer those of his clients , and the minister those of his members ; and I claim societies have a right for mutual protection to have their grips , signs and passwords , provided always there is
