Charles G. Finney became an
outspoken critic of Freemasonry. Freemasonry itself in a 1960 Masonic book
entitled "Ten Thousand Famous Freemasons" informs us of the content
of Finney's messages: "Finney wrote and preached anti-Masonry wherever he
was and with Jonathan Blanchard, a Presbyterian minister and President of
Wheaton College, published an anti-Masonic newspaper called 'The Christian
Sinecure.'" According to the Chicago publisher of the Sinecure,
Freemasonry had such a hold on the delivery of mail, that this publication was
constantly intercepted on its way to subscribers. Finney writes that before the
publication of Finney's book, the Baptist denomination had been greatly carried
away by Freemasonry. A large proportion of its eldership and membership were
Freemasons. A considerable number of ministers and members of other branches of
Christian churches had also fallen into the snare.
