KNIGHTHooD IN ANCIENT TIMES

KNIGHTHOOD in ANClENl lIhNo'
How did a man become a Knight in
ancient times? He was not made In
day. History teaches us that the edu-
cation of a boy for KnighthOod began
at an early period of his life. The hrst
thing he had to do was to battle In pure
water as sign of cleansing. Then ne
was invested with a white tunic as
symbol of purity, red robe emDlemat-
ic of the blood he was to shed Tor the
faith, a black doublet, as a token OF MS
mortality" And one of the teachings
was: 1T is proper that he should
learn to obey before he governs, for
otherwise he would not appreciate the
nobility of his rank when he became
Knight" Years of service was need
fuI. That there should be no obstacle
10 the bows actual service, he was sent
TO the home of another Knight, where
he would remain until he had done full
duty as a page and an esquire. III is
worthy of note that every step toward
Knighthood was taken in the church,
AT the altar of God, and amid the most
solemn ceremonies. The ordination OF
Knighthood was imposing and sacred.
II began with the virgil OF arms. tast-
ing and prayer were necessary teat-
ures. The bishop in handling the
sword said: Receive the sword III
the name of the Father, of the Son, ana
of the Holy Ghost, and use it for your
own defense and for that of Gods Holy
Church. and for the confusion or the
enemies of the Cross of Christ and OF
tho Christian faith, and as far as hui
man frailty may permit, wound no one
uniustlv with it," Then with the
naked blade he struck him gently three
times across the shoulder, saying: be
thou a peaceable, brave and faithful
Knight"
In our day we need an ardent, pas
sionate. enthusiastic Peter, the Hermit,
IN omen the gates of our hearts and
kindIe on the altar the spirit OF SELF
sacrifice. the genius Of chivalry ana
the enthusiasm of religion. Aye, there
must he another crusade-a holy war
for. the hosts of evil are pressing hard
70 drag US from the skies. When we
read the account of the wild enthusl-
assn that arose amid the pious and glo-
rious enterprise to secure the Holy
senmlchre of Christ from the infidels;
when we think of the millions of poor,
IGNORANT. perishing souls, who know
not the name of Jesus, and VINO nave
never felt the saving power OF the cross
in which we Templars love to glory,
we feel that we have lost & great deal
of tho zeal. fidelity and devotion which
dwelt in the martyrs, confessors and
saints of the ages. 1t is life-more Ire
that we need, the new heart and the
rigbt shirt. Let us pray for the gift
of the Spirit, that we may become co.
workers with God in the salvation OF
mon As the true knights of the King
NJ Heaven. let us seek that light which
will infame our hearts and lead us in
TO the promised rest.
