From the Western Sun.
TO THE PUBLIC.
1 have ever been pleased with the prosper'
tv of all societies of men, whose aim was to
civilize mankind; or professing1 relipion, if
they lived and acted according to their dechv
ration.
Since I came to the state of Illinois,! joined
the Baptist church, having been raisetl to be
lieve that they were the only people who
were rtjrht; but at 1 grew up, and acquaint?
myself with the difl'rrent sects professing reli
irioii, I discovered there were more or less in
all aocietiet who were unworthy members. I
have had in my acquaintance, several oppor
tunities of informing 1ySelf 'respect'ina; Free
Masonry, ss far as the outlines of that order
would admit: my attention beinjr drawn that
way, I soon began to form 'quite a favorable o-
pimon ot the institution, consequently I made
triplication to the Palestine Lodtre tor admit
taice I Witt received as a member, and still
cor.timie a member of the same. ;
? About tins time mv h.iihisi ore:- "i immi
festcd their disapprobation of my o; .metj I
readily informed them that 1 had no intension
of inavintf the peace ot any person uy beconi.
ing a member of that order, that if 1 could see
any evil in it, I Would willingly withdraw from
the Lodge.
When tliey discovereci that tney had no
(rood Grounds tor an accusation, and were tin
able, in argument, to convince mc of error,
they requested me to leave tne Lodge, i in
stantly informed them, that what I had dene,
had been done with no evil design; that I had
found no impropriety in Masonry; consequent
ly i wquiu not leave neuuer ot iuc societies :
until I saw my error. .."i.
Much atriutert af tiis, the case was made
known to the Church. Being; prepared for
trial.- t informed them it was not my intention
ho leave either societies; it instantly fired their
minds wth indignation. A motion was made,
that I ahould be excluded from the Church,
snd I saw there waa to be no' trial. J then
handed them a written instmroent, containing
some of my reasons for notiesving the Lodge,
and also proposed the following questions to
the Churcbr requesting answers to eacn. -
1., la moral good apintual evUf .
2. It Masonry sirrf
; 3. If Masonry is a, sin, wherein does It eon-
'htrrnav: Ijiot nurane whit Course I
please, if it is lyfnlf andanadyantage to qse,
provided t do not sin? " 5 y A 3
, 5. When I have neither done or intended
harm, whv ahould I be excluded :..

that 1 would leave the Masons, return ami
acknowledge a fault, and be a member with
them. But 1 never intend to acknowledge
a taint until t ara certain, mat i nave coui
mitted one.
I now submit the matter to the public, for
tnem tOjudK w nether the Cluircti has treat

have they not treated me as thiujjh they
