Having used 8. s. 8. exten- sively I can testify to its merits as a blood purifier and tonic. It enriches, purifies and cleanses the blood of all impur- ities, and at the same time is a wonderful invigorator, tonic and system builder. It is also fine remedy for Rheumatism. It is master of this very pain- ful disease, and as a tonic to give appetite, strength to the nerves and build up the sys- tenn 1t has no equal.

The Knights Templar were instituted
by seven gentlemen of Jerusalem in
Ills to defend the holy places and
pilgrims from the insults Of the Sara
Gems, and keep the passes free for
such as undertook the voyage Of the
Holy Land. They took their name
from the first house which was given
them by King Baldwin II, situated
near the place where anciently the
temple of Solomon stood. The Teu-
tonic Knights owe their establish
ment to certain German gentlemen
from Bremen and Lubec at the siege
of Aeon in Palestine The Teutonic
knights conquered, in 1850, the In
fdels Of Prussia.
Now, boys, these were true knights
true to God and to their country
true men and true soldiers Of the
cross. Remember that true boys gem

Knight?' A knight is common sol
der, to be true and brave all through
life. An idle boy can not be true and
brave SO long as he is idle. All true
knights are brave There is not much
darkness about good knight. You
boys have heard, perhaps, about the
Knights of Honor, Knights Of Pythias,
Knights Of the Road, Knights Tenn
plar, etc. While looking over a good
book the other night, l read Of the
Knights Of Malta, or Of St John Of
Jerusalem, who were originally called
Knights Of Hospitallers, instituted
by certain merchants of Amalphi, in
the kingdom of Naples, who, trading
in the Levant, obtained leave Of the
caliph of the Saracens to build house
at Jerusalem for themselves and pill
grims, on paying an annual tribute.
Soon after they founded church in
honor Of ST. John the Baptist, with
a hospital for sick pilgrims, from
which they took their name.
The valiant and most p1ous Prince
Godfrey Of Bouillon, who took Jeru-
salem in 1899, exceedingly favored
the hospitallers, who, in the sign Of
Baldwin |, king Of Jerusalem, 11O4,
added to their religious VOWS another,
by which they obliged themselves to
defend the pilgrims in the Holy Land
from insults Of the Saracens. From
that time they became military or
der of knights, their badge being a
cross with eight points. In 1857, Sal
adm, the caliph of Syria and Egypt,
wrested Jerusalem for the last time
from the Christians, after the king
dom Of the Latins had maintained it.
self there SO years, under eight kings.
The knights retired to Aeon, on the
seacoast of Palestine, till that strong
fortress was taken by storm by the
Saracens in 1891, from which time
they resided in Cyprus till, in 1910,
they took Rhodes from the infdels
and the year following defended it
against their furious assaults, being
relieved by the seasonable succor
brought by the brave Amedens ~,
Count of Savoy. The Turks having
yanouished the Saracens and embrace
ed their superstition, and Muhammad
II having taken Constantinople by
storm in 1853, under Constantine
Paleologus, the last Grecian emperor.
these knights became more than over
the bulwark of Christendom. Under
the conduct of the valiant grand mas
ter, Aubusson, in 1880, they bravely
defended their isle for TWO months
against the victorious army OF above
100000 men of Muhammad Ill. the
greatest warrior Of all the Kurdish
emperors, who conquered the empires
of Constantinople and Trebizand, II
kingdoms and 200 cities. The en-
peror, Charles V, gave to the knights
the Isle of Malta in 1880. Soleyman
