Knights Templar.

Knights Templar met at their hall
at 1880 on Easter evening and
marched, in body, uniformed, 10
the Methodist Episcopal church where
they listened to sermon by the pas
tor, Rev. ]. F. Poucher, which very
strongly appealed to the members and
which it is hoped to publish in a
later issue of The News. The church
was crowded so that the doors into
the lecture room had to be opened to
accommodate the people desiring ad-
mission. The sermon explained why
the Knights Templar adopted the
cross for their emblem and then de-
livered his discourse, which was ex-
ceptionally fine. There was a large
attendance of Knights Templar.
