THE METHODIST 00NFEKEN0E.
BY MRS. M. ADELLE HAZhETT.
CHAPTER I.
" I tell you wife, it must not be.
had ns soon &eo tho nrch-llcnd himself
in our pulpit as a Freemason."
"But ho is nn excellent preacher, nud
as tho church is well satisfied with him,
tho Conferenco will, doubtless, return
him to us for another year."
"No, Sarah, they shall not return
him. I wlll'tnlco euro that tho brethren
learn what a viper they aro cherishing
In their bosoms. It is fortunate that
tho next Conference-Ms to ho held here
in our own plnco."
"Let mo beg of you, husband, not to
bo hasty In this. Our minister, Uro.
Eulrbauks, appears to bo really a worthy
and pious man, and as tho church is
well pleased with him, why not allow
the matter to rest ns it Is? I really can
not iieiicvoium to lie so uau it man its
you fear him to bo."
"Can a man bo a Freemason nnd not
boa guilty, perjured wretch? And
shall ,1, Gtorgo Graham class-lender
for fifteen years bo so fal&o to my duty,
as to remain quiet when Satan sends his
minions into our very midst? No,Mrs.
Giaham; if you would ovado your duty
I shall not evade mine; 1 am a poor sin-,
tier, It is true, but n willing servant of
my Lord und Master, and this wolf lu
fchcop's clothing shall bo driven from
the fold. 1 shall protest against his re-
urn to this church. Fortunately only
a few weeks remain beforo tho Confer
enco meeting, I shall begin work at
once," and tho pious, earnest, but fan
atical George Graham walked to his
book-ease, tint, taking down n package,
of anti-Masonic almanacs, which had
tho appearanco of being' nt least forty
ears of ago and had only been pro
served from tho ravages of tlmo by tlio
reverent caro they hnd received from
their owner, who hold them next to his'
Uiblo in value, ho placed a broad-brimmed
hat upon his head, and sallied
forth under tho scorching rays of an
August sun.
"I declare," said tho old mini to him
self, "this ts a hot afternoon. I shall
miss my map to-day, but, then, duty
must not bo sacrificed to tlio weakness
of tho flesh."
Ho called upon ISros. Jones, ICccler,
Carson and several others, all of whom
opened their eyes In holy horror whon
they found that their beloved minister
Uro, Fairbanks was tt Freemason,
nnd they agreed at onco to unite their
influence with that of their class lender
tosccuroanew minister tho ensuing
year. Tho sun was Just sinking below
tho western horizon as Mr, Graham en
tered tho ofllco of Judgo Winters ono
of tho oldest and most Influential mem
bers of tho church, Thero was a mis
chievous twinkle in tho Judge's eyu
whon Mr.' Graham inndo his business
known.
"Well, what do you propose to do.iny
friend? ho inquired, nt length, when
Mr. Graham paused for breath,
"Complain of him, and havo him ox-
polled from tho Conference silenced"
"Hut do you think that cau bo done?"
"Not a doubt of It not a doubt of It:
didn't the Masond murder Morgan ?
Here Is an account. of tho wholu nlfalr
and trinl of tho murderers" (nud Mr,
Graham laid tho package on the table);
'how ho wns nbdueted from homo, ear'

"Clear as tho sunlight, Judge."
"Then tho criminals were of course,
punished according to law?"
"I'uulshcd I no, not ono of them 1"
"Why, how was Unit ? What do you
mean?"
"I mean, sir, that Dowttt Cllnton.tho
Govornor of New York, was a Freema
son. And ho dofeatod tho ends of Jus
tico, sir; ho bacrlflced tho majesty of tho
law to Ids Freemasonry, sir."

Mr. Graham started to his feet us If a
viper had stun-? him; for u moment ho
stared wildly upon Jutlgo Winters,theli
noting a stmlu upon tho Judge's lips, ho
seemed reassured and said:
''lJro. Winters, you aro trifling. A
lawyer Is so fond of argument that ho
will neglect no opportunity of indulg
ing in It, even nt tho expense of his"
religion, ho was going to say, but
ho checked himself.
"Ho KCatcd, Uro. Graham," snld tho
Jiidge, ''I havo something more to say
upon this subject; and now prepare to
ho surprised, but do not bo hasty.
ni Freemason, nnd havo been oneftir
twenty years."
Mr. Graham turned paht and then
flushed crluiMiin, hut he said nothing.
The Judge e-.ntiuued: "I have never
known Fr.-c masonry to defeat tlio onus
of Justice. I havo sentenced men to
years of toll lu tho State prison whom
I knew In lni members although un
worthy Ones of Iho Maonlo fraternity.
The fuel of (heir connection therewith
did lull save them from u single hour of
Imprisonment. Thb mail, who has been
1 ik-s.-ed with thoHubliinomoral teachings
of it M'isonic Lodgo Is doubly culpable
for :tn Immoral net, n violation of hj-f

minister, Uro. Fairbanks, dismissed

done. You may prevent his return to
us, but ho will bo sent to another con
gregation, while Wo shall, perhnps, ro'
cetvo In his plnco ono inferior to him In
both'tnlcut inui piety."
Judge Winters paused, Mr. Graham
who hltd iiguin risen to his feet said: "I
do not believo there are so many, Mn
sons usiyou say in thu Methodist Con
ferenco of this State. You aro ti Free
mason, and have un interest in defend
ing your Institution."
"Well, Uro. Graham," said the Judge,
"I will make you a proposition. Muko
you no further effort ut present to excite
antagonistic feeling towards Uro. Fair
banks in tho minds of members of his
congregation, and if, beforo tlio close of
tho Conicronco meeting, to bo held
hero in October, I do not prove to your
entire, .satisfaction that'll majority of Its
mom burs tiro Masons, ,1 will not then
object to your plan of procedure against
our minister."
Mr. Graham muted fur a moment.
"Judgo V inters," ho said, at length,
"I accept your proposition. If, what
you claim in regard-to the ministers of
our church bo true, It must, of course,
effect my prejudices somewhat, for I
bellovo no church embodies moro real,
piety than ours. Uut mind you, Judgo,
tho evidence must bo clear, and amount
to positive knowledge,"
"Yes, jes, Urn,,Grahaiu, it shall bo
entirely satisfactory. Meantime, hero
Is n moro reliable Masonic library than
your's (and he glanced at tho almanacs)
which Is entirely at'your service. Ilore
Is Masonic history, jurisprudents and
text-books, landmarks, 'Constitution'
and 'ancient charges.' Tako as' many of
them as you please, and return them
when you have finished their perusal."
Mr. Grnham did not know how io
could consistently refuso to read some
of tho standard Masonic; works.although
he felt a great repugnanco to doing so.
Ho therefore, selected a history anil
text-book nnd, bidding thu Judgo gobd

eloquently nud feelingly of tho beauties
of the' Christian religion, tho duties and
rcspbnslbilltlcs of n life lu tho ministry,
nnd tho pleasures of a reunion llko this.

"To my young brethren Just entered

duty to yournelghbor, your country and
your God, and in old age you will enjoy
Urn happy reflections consequent upon

ous immortality."
Judgo.WIntcrs touched tho arm of.Mr.1
Graham and wh!spered,"Hoi!ja Mason,
I think."
A young minister, who was much In
terested In tho American Ulblo Society,
now spoko. Ho thought that "tho Ulblo
das and Sabbath school wero tho Jachin
and U0117, upon which rested tho liber
ties of tho nation."
Another thought that "we, as minis
ters of the Gospel, should endeavor not
only to tench others theirdiity, but first
to divest our own minds und consciences
of all their vices and superfluities,
thereby fitting us, as living stones, for
that spiritual building, that houso not
mado with hands, eternal In tho heav
ens." Uut tho time alloted to this portion of
tlio morning exerclso had passed ;tho
choir sang a grand anthem of praise
and thanksgiving; tho oldman with tho
silvery hair offered up a short t.ut ear
nest prayer ; and tlioUlshop S ap
peared upon tho rostrum and announced
tho subject of his discourse- It wns
"Faith." Clearly aud concisely hu laid
down the proposition to bo discussed
and tlicpolnts to bo proved. Then, with
an oioquencc Which won and swayed ull
hearts, with Illustrations drawn from
thu book of nature, and applied analo
gically to tho subject under considera
tion, he passed Ito attack tho strongholds
of Infidelity. His mind seemed'a vast
sterol iou8o of k no wlcdgc,nnd very fo w I n
that largo congregation had over beforo1
listened to so able n. sermon. The his
tory of tho world, Its warriors, statesmen,
and philosophers, seemed to pass In re
view beforo them. Through tho plane
tary system" ho led thorn and tlio infini
tude of space, studded with its counties?
worlds. Only boforo tho Throno of tho
Living Deity did ho pauso. Then,
stretching forth )iis hands, lutt voice
which thrllod every'henrt, ho exclaim
ed. "Child bf mortality! is not this
enough ?"
"Yes; yes, It ls'enougli J" cried a him
dred voices : "lt is enough."
"Then," sald the Uishop.nnd Ids voice-
sunk to a deep pathos, "let' us believo
that, when tho scythe of tlmo' shall cut
tho brittio shredof human life, wo. shall
bo'Middenly revived by the ever green,
and ever' living sprig of faith in the
merits of iho Lion of thotrlboof Jtidah,

souls. Let us welcomo death as ii kind
"messenger, sent to translnte us froui'this
Imperfect to that all perfect, glorious
and celestial world where the Supremo
Architect of the Unl verso' presides."
Tho Ulshopliad finished his discourse.
Tho choir sang a hymn'of praise, a ben
ediction was pronounced, and tho con
gregation dispersed. 'Mr. Graham and
Judgo Winters walked homeward to
gether.
"What a holy muu is our Bishop,"
snld tho former. "It feema ns If 'tho

Six o'clock ofMonduy evening cmno,

peared amused, arid realized that hLs
own position was uncomfortable. Was
hiyufter all, In error? wero tint good,
pious', self sacrificing men Masons ?
Presently Bishop Ulmsotrap-
penrcd, and pausing" In tho door way
said :
"Aro you not going up to tho Lodge,
Uro. Winters?
" Yes " replied tlio Judge, "in, it

said : "Cannot you go up and open tho

During this llttlo dialogue Mr. Gra

"Judgo," ho said, abruptly ; "I will

Thus soliloquIzlng.Mr.Grahain readi

"Hocleared up many points that havo

replied Mrs. Falrhanks. who was n.lndy
of about thlrty-flvo years of ago very

"Uut how do you like tho Jilshop Uro.

"I'scarcely know how to nnswor you,
Sister Fairbanks," wa tho reply. "I
am an nntl-Mnson, nnd tho Dlshon be

you of that institution ?"
Tho minister's wlfo tdrned her ihio
dark eyes lull upon Mr. Graham. "I
