| a religious fraternal organization. We
are not political society, neither have
| we utilization with any society having
aspirations in that direction. AS we
| believe in separation of church and
| state, so we believe in the separation of
Malta and politics. Whenever a COM
panion enters the council chamber he
| should forget all church and political
utilization and remember that ours is
a common brotherhood. The command
| cry room should be held sacred as
church edifce. Who would think of
talking politics in church? Show me
a man who breaches or talks politics
from the pulpit, and 1 will show you
one who will tear down more then he
| can build up. So with the Knights of
| Malta. If sir knight commander per-
mits politics or Sectarianism to enter
into the discussions, that commandery
will soon become defunct. In conclu-
sion the order of Knights of Malta Is
| one that has stood the test of eight
hundred and forty-five years, being the
Oldest order of knighthood in existence,
yet it contains today knights as
valiant as those who shed their blood
in defence of Christianity during the
| Crusades. Their deeds of valor may
not be recorded on such glittering
pages, but may we not hope that their
names may be recorded in the Lambs
book of life, and that they will hear
the call, Come we blessed of my
for you from the foundation of the
world. Yours truly.
Howard Young,
Grand Recorder.
