LOGIC AND EIDICULE
in Profusion at the State Christian
Association Meeting
TO DENOUNCE SECEET SOGIETIES.
Tery Tigorons language Used bj a Kum
ler of the Speakers.
POINTS OP THE ARGUMENTS ADTAKCED
The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
State Christian Association, opposed to
secret societies, opened yesterday in the
Second United Presbyterian Church, Sixth
avenue. About 200 were present. The
meeting -was called to order by TV. B.
Stoddard, of Wilkinsburg. Dr. Samuel
Collins, of Allegheny, was elected
chairman and opened the meeting
by devotional exercises. He was
followed by an address of welcome by
Eev. David S. Littell, D. D. During his
address he said:
It is not a matter 'of formality with me,
butrromtbe depths of niy heart I welcome
you. This Is a cause In which the U. P.'s, R.
P.'s and many other 'P's" can unite. God
has given us three brotherhoods, the broth
erhood of humanity, the brotherhood of the
family and the Drotherhood of Christ. These
are the only brotherhoods God gave
u, but man has seen fit to or
ganize other brotherhoods, and these
ran dtrectlr across those which God
gave us. "These brotherhoods, organ
ized bv man, instead of uniting
humanity, divide humanity. They also di
vide both. the church and the family. That
they are bound to keep things from the
church and bound to keep the husband from
telling things to his wife, makes them not
Christ-like, and tbev are therefore not
Christianity. What Smith teaches is Smith
anity, and what Christ teaches is Christian
ity. Some Strong Language Used.
After the committees were announced,
Jtcv. J. P. Stoddard, of Boston, Mass., de
livered a lengthy address on "The Lodge
Opened." He said: "Dear brethern, I
onght to know something about the lodge,
as in my city there there are 853 lodges."
He then produced a chart, alleged to
illustrate the various degrees and scenes in
the lodge of Free Masonry. He stated that
when a man became a Mason, he threw
away his rights. He then proceeded to de
scribe the joining of a masonic lodge. He
said the "victim" is ushered into a room.
where his left breast is made bare and the
point ol a sword is placed against him, with
the warning not to divulge any secret of the
lodge. The victim, he said, is 'then asked
to swear that in the presence of
Almighty God he vill not
divulge any secret of the lodge. This, the
speaker said, prevented the husband from
telling his wife of any of his doings at the
lodge.
He then referred to a Boston lodge,
where he said several of its members be
came intoxicated, and yet the husband
could not tell this to his wife, and receive
her council and prayers in the matter of as
sociating with them. He also said:
The wife has as much right to know what
the husband is doing as the husband has to
know what the wife is doing, yet if the hus
band tells his wite of his doings at the lodge
lie foifeits his life, hag his throat cut. Ma
sonry paits those whom God has joined to
gether. Multitudes who are in these lodges
to-day would never have thought of Joining
them had they known more of the inside.
A Menace to Society.
lhe hrst speaker at the n:ght session was
the Kev. "W. J. Coleman, ol Beaver Palls.
He attacked secret societies, and asserted
that they are a menace to good society.
Men, he said, join them to gain advantages
over their fellow men. They join to secure
advantages in politics about. There
are officers to govern, and the many
must obey the few. It is
of importance to a Christian who follows
the Lord. He goes to the lodge and is
asked to swear to do something, he knows
not what. "When a m:n buys a horse, if he
has any sense, he knows something about
it. AVhen he takes a wife to himself it is
generally supposed he has had some ac
quaintance with her. But when he
goes into a lodge he swears to
something, he doesn't know what,
and other matters.
"Where, he asked, is the benefit of the
jury system when there are some on the jurv
w ho are sworn to obey the officers of their
societies? The members of these societies
have all that an honest man has
and all that dishonest measures can give.
Continuing, he said: "What does the lodge
ask of the man? He swears to obey when
he doesn't know what it is going to ask him
Taking for granted that it is honest,the man
w ho takes that oath ought toknow something.
Prof. C. A. Blanchard, ot "Wheaton Col
lege, Illinois, said the question had been
asked why do secret societies multiply and
flourish? A man said at a convention in
Boston that the v might as well try to take a
census of the lice in Egypt as to try to
count them. The reason thev multiply; he
continued, was not because they lacked the
denunciations of of some of thebest men of
the country against them. Daniel "Web
ster, John Adams, John Quincy Adams,
Charles Sumner and others, are on record
as opponents of secret societies and Free
Masonry in particular.
Alleged l'oirer Ore; a Jury.
It gives an evil man a power over a jury,
the Sheriff, the witnesses and sometimes the
Judge. As an indication, he said, in this
country where secret societies abound
there will be 400 murders and about
75 executions. In England where secret
societies are much fewer, there will be 400
murders and about 375 executions. These
are the charges, he said, and they are not
answered.
The speaker then turned to ridicule, and
said that it was not necessary for a man to
secure the help of honest men if he was
honest himself, to first swear that he would
have his head cut off", or his body cut in
two, or his skull lilted and his brains ex
posed to the scorching rays of a noonday sun
if he revealed any ot the secrets.
The reason th'ey flourish, he supposed,
was because of the avarice that makes men
want to get something and give nothing,
using the lodge's influence. Also the ambi
tion to be 3 grand master, etc., and lord it
over somebody. Another reason" he set
forth was the desire for a chapeau, sword,
cloves, etc., to look fine when marching and
dressed up. The speaker conclnded bv
urging his hearers to keep up the work
against the secret societies.

PAROXYSMS OF PAIN,
and
A Definition of What Neuralgia Is
the Discovery of Its Cause Some
thing- of Interest.
If there Is anything which the people of America
8tuTer from more than any other it Is neuralgia.
Strictly speaking, neuralgia means "nerve pain,"
but there are probably a thousand ways by which
It manifests Itself. Anyone who has ever suffered
from it does not need to be told what It Is so far as
agony is concerned. It Is almost unbearable. It
Is the worst of all known pains. It drives many
people insane. Its causes are many.
Neuralgia Is often Inherited, but more frequently
It arises from a disordered nervous system. It may
be months before tne distinct paroxysms come, and
then or all pains it is the worst. At first, the at
tacks may be weeks apart; gradually they increase
in frequency. Sometimes there may be entire
freedom.from pain in the Intervals between the
.attacks. Often the skin is red and feverish. It
may be several years In developing, the attacks
being gradually more severe and well defined. If
neglected, it becomes a chronic disease, and if
neglected too tong, almost incurable.
As neuralgia arises wholly from nervous derange
ment, a child can see tbat In order to cure it, the
nervous system must be renewed. It Is easy to say
this, but the question naturally arises: "How
can I renew my health, ray nerves?" Not by lini
ments, not by lotions, not by cheap nervines, sar
saparlUas or decoctions. It requires something
that is far advanced beyond ail of these things,
something that Is an absolute discovery. There is
but one thing that fills this requirement, and that
is the great discovery of Professor Phelps, known
as Palne's Celery Compound. This compound
really marks a distinct era in medical practice and
in the treatment especially of neuralgia. It does
not act as other so-called remedies act. It goes
directly to the seat of the disease, and treating it at
its source cures it completely. If you would like to
know what, others have found this to be, here Is
what some hare to say:
"Having taken Palne's Celery Compound in a
bad case of nervous neadache, and it having re
lieved me of that plague in a short time, I advise
every person who has nervous diseases to take It. "
THOMAS ADAMS,
84 Navy street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
"For the last six years I have been afflicted with
neuralgia of the heart and general debility, and all
that time have been drugged with morphine and
quinine to kill the pain, but no cure. X am now
taking Palne's Celery Compound, and it Is doing
me much good, for I have not had an attack since
I commenced using It, and feel like another per
son." Kespectfully yours,
MES. MART A. -WAGNER,
Saltlllo, Pa.
"On Monday morning, the latter part of March,
there was nothing to me but pain and weakness. I
had no appetite, and could not have eaten any
thing If I had wanted to. And my head how it
did ache! The doctors didn't help me, and I
wouldn't have given a snap of the fingers for my
chances to live. I finally thought of Palne's Cel
ery Compound, which had cured me once before,
when sick and suffering. Every dose I took gave
me strength and to-day I am well and strong. I
attribute my recovery entirely to Palne's Celery
Compound. Tours truly,
R.S. STYLES,
Burlington. Vt.
is it not plain that this great discovery becomes a
Godsend to the neuralgic sufferer? Is it not clear
that anything which can relieve headache, cure
neuralgia and banish pain is a blessing?

I have been to Mt. Clemens, Mich., twice,

cines that I could hear of, and have been
doctored by all kinds of physicians, all of
which did me no good until I was persuaded
