Then came
DE MOLAY CeNMANDERY,
OF Boston, splendid body OF men-bead-
ed by ID. C.. Halls fine brass band OF twen-
one men. This CommaDdery derives its
nlme from Jacques De Molay, one OF the
Grand Master, Of the order OF knights
Templar. This order bad its origin IN the
| Crusades, and derived its name from the To-
cation OF the temple in Jerusalem, which
King Baldwin the Second gave them for an
abode. De Molay was admitted into the
order about The year 1865. and on the death
Of William de Beauieauf was unanimously
elected to the Office Of Grand Master. The
wealth and power OF the Templars created
for them multitude OF enemies. In 1907
an order was issued for the general arrest
OF the Knights throughout France. They
were accused Of various revolving crimes
and Molay, the Grand Master, persisted in
| the flames at Paris March 49, 1914, declaring
to his final breath his innocence of the
crimes with which he was charged.
