charity and beneficence became so
numerous and were so unselfish as to
make the spirit of devotion and self
sacrifice the outstanding character
iStic of the order.
The commandery of today is in imi-
tation of these places of refuge. The
uniform reminds us of the equipment
of the ancient knight and the drill
work maintains the militant idea of
the organization, founded on the
Christian religion.
Use Army Drills.
The movements and commands
used in the drills resemble very close
ly those of the modern army. tho
there are slight differences in the tao
tics. Each drill team has its COM
manding officer and the proper pro-
portion of lieutenants and guides.
Grading in the competitive drills is
based on the excellence shown in the
various movements, each being valued
at so many points.
The officers of a commandery are
not necessarily in command of the
drill team. An officers rank is de-
termined by his shoulder strap and
the position he occupies when march
ing in line in a parade-very similar
to the plan used in the army.
The Knights Templar of today are
not crusaders, engaged in actual war
fare. The purpose of the order is TO
maintain the spirit of ch1valry, honor
charity and benevolence that made
the ancient knights more ramous than
did their deeds on the battlefield. The
war against ignorance and oppression
once fought with the sword is today
only signified by that weapon-ac-
tually carried on in ways of peace
