About fifteen new members were
received during the past week. the order
! is progressing very satisfactorily as it. or
any other order with landmarks like the
following for its guidance, ought to do:
For as much as true religion consists in
the doing our duty towards God and man,
no person should be initiated into the mys-
terles of the Knights of the Ancient Es-
senic order uness he is known to be be-
! lever in that in which ali men agree: In
the E'atherhood OF God and brotherhood of
man; nor unless he is at least eighteen
years Of age, whole as man ought to be,
and jealous charitable and continent nor
unless he can take upon himself the vows
of knight of the Ancient Essenlc
order. Our order teaches the main
! tenance and defense of our country
and our homes, of civil and religious lib
erty, the doctrine of the mortality Of the
! body and the Immortality of the soul; that
| in the beyond probation ends not, nor are
rewards withheld by the great Creator
That true religion consists in the doing of
our duty, and theology is rather a divine
1 life than a divine knowledge Is thetriend
and defender OF all systems of true religion,
! while it is the blind follower of no man
made theology. The love of country, of
liberation, hatred of oppression and of the
/ tyranny Of Ill advised popular opinion
personal chastity, fraternal unity and
/ equality are the lessons the ritual incul-
Gates impressively. The charity taught
I is that 1orm of beneyolerce which ap-
/ breaches all who are in need or distress.
