This Is a mistake. True, was the sole author
and originator Of the third degree, but that
was known as the union dogreo." It re.
qulred Of every man taking the degree to bind
himself under tho solemn obligation of an
oath, to maintain aud defend tho union
against all assaults and under all oiroum-
stances, without condition or exception. 1t
contained no allu,iou 10 any religious test
All that was involved In II WIS the pcrpctulty
