Secret Societies and Christian Brotherhood
By S. Miles
S. MILES: No Christian can consistently join any secret organization. Those who are engaged in any good work, can afford to do it in the light of day, and will not seek the cover of secrecy. There are only two bonds of brotherhood which are of heavenly origin. The one comes from being a member of the human family. This includes the whole race. It is the common tie of humanity which, beginning with the family, extends outward to all, and binds us to do good to all our fellow-men as far as in our power. The other is that bond which binds together the “household of faith.” All other organizations which bind men to special obligations to each other, are from beneath. Give all secret societies a wide berth.
