Further on, individual denominations will be examined indepth. But for now here are somenote worthy items, that can be mentioned in general about the Masonic infiltration of thechurches.1. Ministers, especially high ranking church officials are special targets of recruitment. Not onlyis this known to this Author from interviews with ex-high ranking Masons, but can also be seenfrom the following quote from the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Illinois (1909),The Grand Master Charles R. Smith speaking to a large Masonic meeting which hadrepresentatives from 24 foreign grand lodges, and representatives from 54 lodges in attendancestated his following decision,"1. I was asked, "Is a Jewish Rabbi a minister of the gospel," within the meaning of section21, chapter XV of the constitution, entitling him, in the discretion of the lodge, to a reductionin. or rebate of the fees for initiation? As Jewish Rabbis are authorized by law to performmarriage ceremonies and other duties appertaining to the sacred office of the ministry, I ruledthat they were "ministers of the gospel" within the meaning of the section." (Underlining addedto highlight how recruited ministers can get their fees waived by a lodge.) 32. In some denominations the selection of what congregation a minister is assigned to involveschurch politics, that can give the Masons an edge. Conservative ministers are assigned small,poor rural churches. More liberal ministers with the right connections are given large, rich, citycongregations. Not only is this born out by an interview with an ex-minister, but reports like thefollowing make it suspect. This report is from the Bishop of Southwark, Dr. Mervyn Stockwood,"A case known to me involved a particularly unfortunate appointment to an importantliving. The man, a Mason, had little to commend him. But he was approved by the diocesan, thesuffragan and by the archdeacon—all of whom were Masons. I am prepared to believe that thehierarchy was innocent and never allowed the Masonic factor to determine their choice. But inthe diocese it was widely believed that it was the golden hand-shake rather than the Holy Spiritthat filled the vacant living." 43. The Masons are a seed of destruction to the church using techniques parallel to whatsucessfully worked for the white man against the Indian. The American Indian was conqueredby the white man due to a series of several contributing factors such as false pretensions of peaceby the white man, the introduction of infectuous diseases and bad habits (alcohal), and thepromotion or the problem of inter-rivalry between Indian groups (divide and conquer). Withinthe Christian churches Masons are introducing various "infectious diseases" such as (to name afew) are subjective religion, witchcraft and the New Age under different labels, the Rapturetheory, fatalism toward an Armagggedon, expectations that the Jews (practicing Pharisism fromBabylon) will rebuild their temple, the notion that the Asian-blooded Askinazim Jews are God'schosen people and have an inherent right to take Palestine, a lack of zeal toward evangelism,especially cult evangelism, and ecumenicalism. One woman into Eastern Star, who calls herselfa Christian, informs people that one can be a Christian and believe in evolution. According toher, those Christians who don't believe in evolution are bringing dishonor to Christianity.Episcopalian Dr. Morey would have us believe that Freemasonry was a Christian organizationbefore Albert Pike turned it into a "Hindu temple." However, this is pure Masonic propoganda.Any unbiased researcher will find the Christian churches were concerned from the very beginningabout Freemasonry. According to the Scottish Rite's New Age Magazine the first expose of
