EVENING SESSION BISHOP ROBERTS PRESIDENT
The conference resinded their written rules on the buying and selling slaves. The case of John W. Lang- don a Local Preacher on an appeal was laid over till next conference. The committee on the subject of mas- onry reported as follows
The Ohio Annual Conference to the ministry & mem- bership of her charge sendith greeting. Whereas it hath been represented to us that many of our brethren have attached themselves to the Society of Free Masons, we take this method to communicate to you our descided sentiment on that subject. We are decidedly & senti- mentally opposed to the practice,& are determined (as the Ministers of Christ & your servants) to set our Faces & lift our hands against it for the following reasons
1. Because it appears from abservation that an union with this body of men is unfavorable to piety, witness the multitudes who on being converted to God have abandoned their Lodges & Festivals walking no more with them. Witness the decaying piety of those who have attached themselves to them from amongst our- selves. Witness that want of brotherly love, those jars & schisms which have ensued.
2ndly. What ever Masonry may be in itself, it is ob- vious to all that Masons are (in general) greatly defi- cient both in Religion and good morals, and the Lord Jehovah hath said, "Come out from among them (that is the wicked) and be ye separate," yea tho they should have the form; yet if they denied the power of Godliness, from such turn away. We therefore beseech you in the Fear of God, and as we shall give an account to him who is ready to judge the quick & dead; that ye refrain these men, lest ye be partakers of their sins, and by conse- quence of their judgment.
Dear Brethren "The secret of the Lord is with them that
159
JOURNAL OF THE OHIO CONFERENCE
fear & love him," and we are sure if you have & retain this "Secret", it will secure your felicity & render the "Secrets" of Masonry unnecessary. And finally we can only say, we are yours, living & dying.
D. Young was superannuated.
Next Conference was appointed at Steubenville, August 7, 1818.
