of the success of that grand institu-

As for New England, every sir knight
who can manage to get away will
be in Boston on the 9th. The New

the beautiful white mountains dur

Mount Washington and at Fabyan's,

August, and it will be found as SUBJ

At this time it is impossible to give
a detailed account of the programme
of entertainment, but it is safe to
say that the gallant sir knights will
carry away with them grateful mem
! ories of whole-souled Yankee hospi-
tality.
The grand conclave, which is made
up Of the grand commanders and
grand recorders of the grand COM
manderies of the states and terri
tories, will hold a two days session
in Masonic Temple on August 81 and
%. The grand officers for the next
three years will be elected then, and
after necessary legislation has been
disposed of the committee of ar
rangenents for the next triennial
conclave will be appointed. There
will be a contest for the honor of
holding the next encampment be-
tween those old-time rivals. New

Then occurred that awful massacre of
Safed, when 600 knights and as many
women and children were put to death
by their enemies. Then Acre fell; Will
liam de Beaujean, the grand master,
was killed. The Templars fed to Cy-
press.
Then it was, when the order was
dispersed and defeated in the Holy
Land, but still powerful and wealthy
in Europe, that Philip the Fair coveted
it's possessions and began to use his
willing tool, Pope Clement, to accom-
plish the downfall of the order In
1905 Jacques DeMolay, the brave but
unlettered grand master of the order,
was summoned from Cypress on the
plea of discussing a new crusade.
DeMolay was received with open
arms by the treacherous Philip. He
was one of those who bore to the grave
the body of the sister of Philips queen.
Next day he was thrown into prison by
that monarch's orders.
With him 146 knights of the order
were arrested. Trials and torture fol-
lowed. The pope convened a council
at Vienna. The order sent deputies to
defend them, but they were refused
hearing, and thrown into prison
Executions followed. and so manifest
was the evil determination of the king
and the pope, so horrible were the tor
lures to which the knights were SUBJ
jected, and SO nobly did they, when
released from the rack, deny the al

their order. that feeling began to turn

pleasing incident occurred at his in

grandfather and father had received
theirs, and on that occasion three gen.

order is not inappropriate at this time.
In the darkest days of the Christian
church, when even the sanctuarieS of
Europe itself were threatened with in

Christendom from heather dominion
the valiant Knights Of the Temple,
men consecrated to the religion of
Christ and the defense Of His follow
ers. Poor fellow-soldiers of Jesus
Christ" they called themselves, those
nine noble knights to whom the order
owes its beginning. Hugh de Pagaina
De Payens is the modem way of spell
ing it, was their leader. They then all
fought in the first crusade under God
frey de Bouillon and knew well how to
deal with enemies who had prosecuted
the pilgrims of Jerusalem.
This noble band began its mission in
1113, and Immediately set about guard
ing the route from the sea to the Holy
City. Rumors of their prowess reached
Europe. Other brave knights fastened
to join them, and gradually the order
spread throughout Europe. Baldwin

knights a portion of the temple as a

highest grade in his corps makes no
change in his duties, as he has been at
the head of his corps since the suspen-

ever, a recognition of the ability with
which he has discharged the duties of
