Masquerade Parties for Church Benefit Condemned
It seems that in Indiana they are holding masquerade parties “for the benefit of the church,” at which a fine is imposed upon any who attend without wearing masks. If all masks were really removed in the churches which countenance these heathenish methods of raising money for so-called religious purposes, we are confident that the features of “the man of sin” would be readily recognized. The true followers of Christ have a commission that they should “be for salvation” to the world, and not to join hand in hand with the follies of the world. How many masquerade parties would it require to bring a revival into the experience of a church?
