SUN FORTHE TIES Moral Effect of Free Masonry Odd Fellowship Knights of Labor and Other Societies Two Ears and One Tongue Physiologically Suggestive that we Ou ht to Hear More than we Tell It Depends Entirely on the Object ol Secret Associations as to Whether they are Right or Wrong pedal to the Gazette Brooklyn April 17 The Rev De Witt Talmage DD announced to his congregation today that as the Brooklyn Tabernacle has been uncomfortably crowded for many years the trustees have purchased the adjoining ground on which a great church prayer and Sunday school room Trill be built which on Sabbaths can be opened into the main auditorium thus giving room for at least a thousand more hearers at services Six thousand people are crowded into the present buildine 4G5u of these in pews and about 1500 seated iu aisles and standing The improvement will add reatly to this capacity The subject of Dr Talmages sermon today was What is the Moral Effect of Free Masonrv Odd Fellowship Knights of Labor Greek Alphabet and Other Societies The text was from Proverbs xxv 9 Discover not a secret to another Dr Talmage said It appears that in Solomons time as in all subsequent periods of the world there were people too much disposed to tell all they knew It was blab blab blab physicians revealing the C3se of their patients lawyers exposing the private affairs ol their clients neighbors advertising the faults of the next door resident pretended friends betraying confidences One half of the trouble of every community comes from the fact that so many people have not capacity to keep their mouths shut When 1 hear something di paraging of you my first duty is not to tell you But if I tell you what somebody has said against you and theu go cut and tell everybody else what I told you and they no out and tell others what I told them that I told you and we all go out some to hunt up the originator of the story and others to hunt it down we shall get the whole community talking about what you did do and wht you did not do and there will be as many scalps taken as though a band of Modocs had swept upou a helpless village We have two ears but only one tongue a physiological suggestion that we ought to hear a good deal more than we tell Let us join a conspiracy that we will tell each other all the good and nothing of the ill and then there will not be such awful need of sermons ou Solomons words Discover not a secret to another Solomon had a very large domestic circle In his earlier days he had very confused notions about monogamy and polygamy and his multitudinous associates in the matrimonial state kept him too well informed as to what was going on in Jerusalem They gathered up all the privacies of the city and poured them into his ear and his family became a Sorosis or female debating society of seven hundred discussing day after day all the difficulties between husbands and wives between employers and employes between rulers and subjects until Solomon in my text deplores volubility about affair that not belong to us and extols the virtue of secretiveness By the power of a secret divulged families churches neighborhoods nations fiy apart By the power of a secret kept great charities socialties reformatory movements and Christian enterprises may be advanced Men are gregarious cattle in herds fish in schools birds in fiocks men in social circles You may by the discharge of a gun scatter a fiock of quails or by the plunge of the anchor send apart tne denizens of the sea but they will gather themselves together again If you by some new power could break the associations in which men now stand they would again adhere God meant it so He has gathered all the flowers and shrubs into associations You may plant one forgetmenot or heartsease alone away off on the hillside but it will soon huat up some other forgetmenot or heartsease Plants love company You will find them talking to each other in the dew A galaxy of stars is only a mutual life insurance company You sometimes see a man with no outbranchings of sympathy Ills nature is cold and hard like a ships mast iceglazed which the most agile sailor coula never climb Others have 1000 roots and 1000 branches Innumerable tendrils climb their hearts and blossom all the way up and the fowls of heaven sing in the branches In consequence of this tendency we find men coming together In tribes in communities in churches in societies Some gather together to cultivate the arts some to plan for the welfare of the state some to discuss religious themes some to kindle their mirth some bo advance their crafts So every active community is divided into associations of artists of merchants of bookbinders of carpenters of masons of plasterers of shipwrights of plumbers Do you cry out against it Then you cry out against a tendency divinely implanted Your tirades would accomplish no more than if you should preach to a busy anthill or beehive along sermon against secret societies Here we find the oftdiscussed question whether associations that do their work with closed doors and admit their members by passwords and greet each other with a secret grip are right or wrong I answer that it depends entirely on the nature of the object for which they meet Is it to pass the hours in revelry wassail blasphemy and obscene talk or to plot trouble to the state or to debauch the innocent then I say with an emphasis that no man can mistake no But is the object the defense of the rights of any class against oppression the improvement of the mindthe enlarge ment of the heart the advancement of art the defense of the government the extirpation of crime or the Kindling of a purehearted sociality then I say with just as much emphasis yes There is no need that we who plan for the conquest of right over wrong should publish to all the world our intentions The general of an army never sends to the opposing troops Information of the coming attack Shall we who have enlisted in the cause of God and humanity expose our plan to the enemy No we will in secret plot the ruin of all the enterprises of satan and his cohorts When the expect us by day we will fall upon mmmtfntn WifH iy them by night While they are strengthening their left wing we will double up their right By a plan of battle formed In secret conclave we will come suddenly upon them crying The sword of the Lord and of Gideon Secrecy of plot and execution are wrong only wnen the object and ends are nefarious Every family is a secret society every business firm and every banking and insurance institution Those men who have no capacity to keep a secret are unfit for positions of trust anywhere There are thousands of men whose vital need is culturing a capacity to keep a secret Men talk too much acd women too There is a time to keep silence as well asa time to speak Although not belonging to any of the great secret societies about which there has been so much violent discuesion 1 have only words of praise for thos associations wnich have for their object the maintenance of fight against wrong or the reclamation of inebriates or like the score of mutual benefit societies called by different names that provide temporary relief for widows and orphans and for men incapacitated by sickness or accident from earning a livelihood Had it not been for the large number of secret labor organizations in this country monopoly would long ago have under its ponderous wheels ground the laboring classes into an intolerable servitude The men who want the whole earth to them selves would have it before this had it not been for the banding together of great secretorganizations And whilewe deplore many things that have been done by them their existence is a necessity and their legitimate sphere distinctly pointed out by the providence of God Such organizations are trying to dismiss from their association all members in favor of anarchy and social chaos They will gradually cease anything like tyr rany over their members and will forbid violent interference with any mans work whether he belongs to their union or is outside of it and will declare their disgust with any such rule as that passed in England by the Manchester Bricklayers Association which says any man found running or workiug beyond a regular speed shall be fined 2 shillings and 0 psnee for the first offense 5 shillings for the second 10 shillings for the third and if still persisting shall be dealt with as the committee think proper There are secret societies in our colleges that have letters of the Greekalphabet for tneirnomenclature and their members are at the very front in scholarship and irreproachable in morals while there are others the scene of carousal and they gamble and they drink and they graduate knowing a hundred times more about sin than they do of geometry and Sophocles In other words secret societies like individual are good or bad are the means of moral health or of temporal and eternal damnation All good people recognize the vice of slandering an individual but many do not see the sin of slandering an organization There are old secret societies in this and other countries some of them centuries old which have been widely denounced as immoral and damaging in their influence yet I have hundreds of personal friends who belong to them friends who are consecrated to God pillars in the church faithful in all relations of life examples of virtue andjMety They are the kind of friends whom I would have for my executors if I am so happy as to leave anything for my household at the time of decease and they are the men whom I would have carry me out to the last sleep when I am dead You cannot make me believe that they would belong bad in stitutions They are the mm who would stamp on anything iniquitous and I would certainly rather take their testimony in regard to such societies than the testimony of those who having been sworn in as membersby their assault upon the society confess themselves perjurers One of these secret societies gave for the relief of the sick in 187o in this country 14110271 Some of these societies have poured a very heaven of sunshine and benediction into the home of suffering Several of them are founded on fidelity to good citizenship aid the Bible I have never taktn one cf their degrees They might give me the grip a thousand times and I would not recognize it I am ignorant of their passwords and I must judge entirely from the outside But Christ has given us a rule by which we may judge not only all individuals but all societies secret and open By their fruits ye shall know them Bad societies make bad men Good societies make good men A bad man will not THE GAZETTE FOBT WORTH TEXAS MONDAY APBIL 18 stay in good society A good man will not stay in a bad society Then try al secret societies by two or three rales Test the first Their influence on home if you have a home That wife soon loses her influence over her husband who nervously and foolishly Iooks upon all evening absence as an assault on domesticity How are the great enterprises of reform aud art and literature and beneficence and public weal to be carried on if everyman is to have his world bounded on one side by his front door step and on the other side by his back window knowing nothing higher than his own atl ic or lower than his own cellar That wife who becomes jealous of her husbands attention to art or literature or religion or charity is breaking her own scepter of conjugal power I know an instance where a wife thought that her husband was giving too many nights to Christian service to charitable service to prayermeetings and to religious convocation She systematically decoyed him away until now he attends church waits upon no charitable institution and is on a rapid way to destruction his morals gone his money gone and I fear his soul gone Let any Christian wife rejoice when heir husband consecrates evenings to theservlpe of humanity and of God or charity of art or anything elevating But let no man sacrifice home life to secret society life as many do I can point outto you a great many names ol men who are guilty of this acrileg They are as genial asrangels atttie society room and a3 ugly as sin at home They are generous ou all subjects of wine suppers yachts and fast horses but they are stingy about the wives dresses and the childrens shoes That man has made that which might be a healthful influence a usurper of his affections and he has married it and he is guilty of mo al bigamy Under this process the wife whatever her features becomes uninteresting and homely He becomes critical of her does not like the dressdoes not like the way she arranges her hair is amazed that he was ever so unromantic as to offer her hand and heart There are secret societies where membership always involves domestic shipwreck Tell me that a man has joined a certain kind and tell me nothing more about him for ten years anb I will write his history if he be still alive The man is a wine guzzler his wife brokenhearted or prematurely old his fortune gone or reduced and his home a merename in a directory Here are six secular nights in the week Combining IBON with PDBE VEGETABLE TONICS quickly and completely CLEANSES and ENBICHES THE SLOOD Quietens the action of the Liver sst Kidneys Clears tho complexion makes the skin smooth It

Iron Bitters effected a perfect cure I Cannot speak too highly of this valuable medicine Genuine has above Trade Mark and crossed ted lines on wrapper Take no other Made only by UUOWN OHEiUCAI CO BALTlAIOItE MD What shall I do with them says the father and the husband I will give four of these nights to the improvement and entertainment of my family either at home or in good neighborhood I will devote one to charitable institutions I will devote one to my lodge I congratulate you Here is a man who says Out of the six secular nights of the week I will devote five to lodges and clubs and associations and one to the home which night I will spend in scowling like a March squall wishing I was out spending it as I have spent the other five That mans obituary is written Not one out of 10000 that ever gets so far on the wroag road ever stops Gradually his health will fail through late hours and through too much stimulants he will be firstrate prey for erysipelas aDd rheumatism of the heart The doctor corning in will at a glance see it 13 not only presens disease he must fight but years of fast living The clergyman for the sake of the feelings of the family on the funeral day will only talk in religious generalities The men who got his yacht in the eternal rapids will not be at the obsequies They haw pressing engagements that day They will send flowers to the coffin will send their wives to utter words of sympathy but they will have engagements elsewhere They never come Bring me mallet and chisel and I will cut on the tombstone that mans epitaph Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord No voa say that would not be appropriate Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his No you say that ould not be appropriate Then give me the mallet and the chisel and I will cut an honest epitaph Here lies the vicim of dissipating associations Another test by which you can find whether yoar secret society is right or wrong is the effect it has on your secular occupation I can understand how through such an institution a man can reach commercial success I know some men have formed their best business relations through such a channel If the secret society has advantaged you iu an honorable calling it is a good one But has your credit failed Are bargain makers more anxious how they trust you wich a bale of goods Have the men whose names were down in the commercial agency A 1 before they entered the society been going down since in commercial standing Then look out You and I everyday know of commercial establishments going to ruin through the social excesses of one or two members their fortune beaten to death with ballplayers bat or cut amidships with the front prow of the regatta or going down under the swift hoofs of the fast horses or drowned in the large potations of cognac or Monon gahela That secret society was the Loch Earn Their business was the Ville de Havre They struck and the Ville de Havre went under The third test by which you may know whether the society which you belong is good or bad Is this What is it3 effect on your sense of moral and religious obligation Now if I should tafce the names of all the people in this audience this morning and put them on a roll and then I should lay that roll back of this organ and 100 ytmrs from now some one jhculd take that roll and call it from A to there would not one of you answer I say that any society that makes me forget that fact is a bad society When I go to Chicago I am sometimes perplexed at Buffalo as I suppose many travelers areas to whether it is better te take the Lake Shore route or the Michigan Central equally expeditious and equally safe getting to aeir destination at the same time But suppose that I hear that on one route the track is torn up the bridges are down and the switches are unlocked It will not take me a great while to decide which road to take Nowhere are two roads in the future the Christian and the unchristian the safe and the unsafe Any institution or any association that confuses my ideas in regard to that fact is a bad institution ana a bad association I had prayers before I joined that society did I have them afterward I attended the house of God before I connected myself with that union do I absent myself from religious influences Which would you rather have in your hand when you come to die apack of cards or a Bible Which would you rather have pressed to your lips in the closing moment the cup of Belshazzar ean wassail or the chalice of Christian communion Who would you rather have icfr your pallbearers the elders of a Christian church or the companions whose conversation was full of slanc and inuen do Who would you rather have for your eternal companions those men who spend their evenings betting gambling swearing carousing and telling vile stories or your little girl that bright child whom the Lord took Oh you would not have been away so much nights would you if you had known she was going away so so soon Dear me your house has never been the same place since Your wife has never brightened up She has never got over it she never will get over it How long the evenings are with no one to put to bed and no one to whom to tell the beautiful Bible stories What a pity it is that you cannot spend more evenings at home trying to help her Dear that sorrow You can never drown that grief in the wine cup You can never break away from the little arms that used to be flung around your neck when she used to say Papa do stay with me tonight Do stay with me tonight You will never be able to wipe away from your lips the dying kiss of your little girl The fascination of a bad secre society is so great tha sometimes ESS rf iW iM JC MtVUir strand is enough to hold fast a world No I will take these strands and I will twist them together and one end of that rope I wiil fasten not to the communion table for it shall be removed not to a pillar of the organ for that will crumble in the ages but I wind it round aud round the cross of a sympathizing Christ and having fastened one end of the rope to the cross I throw the other end to you Lay hold of it Pull for your life Pull for
