KNIGHTS OF MALTA
Remarkable Growth Recorded in Re-
cent Years of This Ancient Order

Malta Knighthood. while tracing It's
lineage through Scottish channels back TO
the DAYS when crusading Sir knights de-
voted their lives and fortunes to the quest
of the Holy Grail, yet as modern Penn
svlvania fraternal institution is of COM
paratvely but recent growth
It's development both numerically and In
the character of its membership in the last
10 years has been one of the marvels OF
fraternal history.
The knights Of Malta, although proud Of It's
Scottish charter really came into existence IN
eXpe perlence drifting along with but few thou
sand members whose inharmonious relations
In those days were strangely at variance with
the fraternal creed and brotherly love taught by
their really beautiful ritual.
All Of this is now past history. and out OF
the mists Of those troublOus times there has
emerged Il concrete. harmonious. splendid body
Of sir knights whose success in many respects
is without a parallel and is not surpassed by
the history OF any other fraternity In Penn
sylvHnia, -, ,o ooo ,
The order now numbers more than 40, 900 sir
knights In Pennsylvania alone, made up OF com
manderies averaging upward OF 100 members
each. and without the sign of an inharmonious
note in their ranks. Not only Is this fact,
but the constant and continued growth OF the
fraternity the numerous class limitations and
the new Communicates being instituted show that
the SUCCESS Is permanent ana that the order
is building upon solid ground.
