Description: One of the few American expressions of this communal German Lutheran Pietist community, commonly known as the Templers, established in 1856. Kies, writing from tiny Eureka, Wisconsin (near Oshkosh) here lays out the relevance of the Temple Society to America's ills and in this extensive translation (likely primarily from the writings of the Templers' founder Christoph Hoffmann) includes a detailed look at the rules of the society.
