PRUSSIAN KNIGHTS.
The Degree of Prussian Knight TWEEN
ty.first In the Scottish Rite Seriesl was
conferred tn the Consistorial Chamber
of the New York Masonic Temple yes
terday, by the full corps Of officers,
with new costumes and properties and
appropriate vocal and instrumental
music. Unusual care was taken 70
render this ehivalric degree with effec-
tiveness, due attention having been
given in all matters to the period rep
resented.
The "Prussian knights" were a secret
order known in the latter portion ofthe
twelfth century, and exercised author
ity over the major portion of the CONT
nent of Europe. They were leagued
together to punish crime reward virtue,
protect the innocent, and aid the suffer
ing and afflicted. Kings, princes and
potentates gave their adherence to the
Grand Chapter, whose decree was of un-
limited power, holding in check both
Church and State.
The commander being unknown, his
lieutenant became the representative
authority. The number of the power
fll organization WAS SO great that 1t
pervaded governments, ecclesiastical
organizations, all business pursuits and
society.
The large number Of candidates press
ing upon the Consistory will require
another rendezvous in May, when, we
understand, the Twenty-fUurth Grade
will be presented, by request.
