report. The report was adopted in part,
so much Of it as related to ceremonials
being referred back to tho committee
with certain amendments with instruC-
tions to prepare a report to be sub
mitted at the next Triennial Conclave.
This leaves the present ceremonial in
force for three years longer. Sir knight
Hopkins, OF Pittsburgh, from the Com.
mIttce on Correspondence, submitted
history Ct the Grand EnCampment
from 1910 to 1859. FhiE history proves
conClusivUly that the Grand ElcaHp.
ment was established in 1916 by com.
manderice from Rhode Island, Nlassa.

A resolution was passed declaring
that It WAS the sense OF the Grand En-:
Campment that In all Knights Templar
parades and demonstrations the Sir
Knights participating shall wear no
badges except those belonging to tho
Knights Templar and Masonic order.
This resolution vas passed because OF the
fact that many KnightS haYe paraded
