It's truth was investi-

composed of four MasOns

Past Grand Masters OF
MasOns of California.
In the report OF this
committee, dated OctO.

is no oath or obligation
taken that bears to this
alleged "Oath" the most
remote resemblance-in
spirit, i'm substance, or in
meaning, rs is shown by
the report Of the Masonic
committee of Los An
geles above referred to.
We recognize the fu-
tility OF endeayoring to
convince those who will
not be convinced, but It
is impossible longer to
remain silent under the
grOundless and absurd
calumnies continually
being circulated, with
apparently willfuI and
wicked peryersity. And
we have, too, an abiding
