Oldest Order of KnighthOod.

Eiitor The Washington Herald
Your very interesting contributor. Ru-
dolph de Zapp. in his letter of the
gth instant. in The Washington Her
aid. on the orders Of knighthood. IS
slightly in error when he says that the
Order Of the Garter is the oldest "chival-
ric'' order in the world It is. perhaps.
the most diEnifed and most honorable
Of all the orders. but II is not the oldest
order Of knightho0d- That honor belongs
to the Knights OF Malta which order
was founded at Jerusalem in l04s A D.
sixty-one years before the institution Of
the order Of the Knights Templars, and
nearly go years prior TO the institution
or the Order Of the Garter.
The Knights Of Malta al first desig-
mated Knights Of St John Of jerusalem.
also called HospitaIlers. was charita bic
and benevolent order It afterward be
came a religious and military organiza-
tlon. and was under the tutelage Of the
pOpes Of Rome and remained so until the
time OF the Reformation During these
troublous days the great majority Of the
knights then residing on the island OF
Malta .eSpoused the Protestant faith, and
left the island. scattering into the various
Protestant countries Of Northern Europe.
principally into Scotland and England
A branch OF the order had been estab-
Ifshed in Scotland by King David l. in
lI24 A. .. This was its earliest intro
duction into Britain. and this branch was
never in any way under the tutelage or
direction Of the popes or the church OF
Rome. but was nourished by the zeal Of
the returning Crusaders from the Holy
Land.
II may be Of interest to many readers
to know that the first celebration Of the
sacrament Of our Lords Supper by an
FDRlish-spea king Protestant community
took place IN the house OF Sir James
SandIlands IN Scotland. who was the
fourth grand master OF the Knights o.
Malta as q Protestant order. The I'm
preston left by your correspondents let
ter on the minds Of some not familiar
with the history OF the Order OF Malta
IS that Il IS a Roman Catholic institu-
rion. whereas the fact IS it has been
wholly and distinctly Protestant since
I572. more than 800 years.
Thousands Of the Knights OF Malta laid
down their lives in defense Of their faith
