indulgence of the individual within the framework of the Lodge. No wonder Freemasonry is so popular with so many men. The essence of vice in the Masonic system is not in the indulgence itself, but in failing to keep it concealed from the profane (nonmember. As long as the indulgence is concealed, to the Mason it is a virtue. It is a vice only to the Christians, whom they claim are too stupid to realize all the fun they are missing. What makes things "vices" in the
estimation of the Christian, is their erroneous position on morals, according to Freemasonry. This makes the ethics of Masonry irreconcilable with those of Christianity. This is why a Christian, who professes to have turned his life over to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, has no business being a Lodge member. (Now I realize I will be stepping on a lot of
toes by making this statement, since there are many professing Christians in the Lodge. In fact many of the clergy of the Southern Baptist Church are Masons. Once they seethe inner workings of the Lodge, they should know better. But whether they like it or not, this does not change the truth. Perhaps, it might be well for me to quote to these brethren, the words of the Apostle
Paul to the church at Galatia 'Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth" (Galatians 4:16).To find the truth regarding Masonic ideas of chastity, we need to go to the Masonic Covenant, since this in essence is what makes a Mason. There is something in
that Covenant which when taken, or entered into, changes a man into a different "moral order" and marks him as guided by a system of ethical principles and precepts which are not found in the Christian system. The Mason becomes a "different order of man" bound by his covenant to Freemasonry and a different system of ethics. He now has, in the eyes of the Lodge,
certain rights and liberties, which the Law of God does not give him.
