Soma fifty years carl lor their income from Armenia olono was equal to $44,000. Both in Paris and London their houses were used as strongholds tor the royal troasur 'ju/Jd / kings looked to them for loans when lo , jflnunclal straights , In the Spanish poulnsula they occupied a peculiar position , aud more than ono icing of Aragon Is said to have"bceu brought up unuor their discipline ' , Such \verortho power and wealth of the Templars when PhiJIp IV , of Franco accused them of heresy nnd worse offenses , had them arrested in VM nnd forced thorn to confess by tortures of 'tljo most excruciating kinds Five years liitfcr the order was suppressed by decree of tn6'couucll of Vienna and Its goods transferred to the hospital of St John , The vi dor catifisted ot knights chaplains and men-nt-urms. The knights were bound for lite or for u fixed pciiod nnd woie the only members entitled to wear the white mantle "IhoyMrro obliged touttend relig ious services dailji ahoy were allowed but two meals u dsjtund moat but thrice a week , Every brother owed the most absolute obo- dlencu to the master of the order and was to go wherever his superior bade him without delay "as if commanded by God " Thej were to dress iu woolen goods , wear their hair short , and u rough beard became one of the distinguishing marks of the order They were controlled by the strictest dis cipline , which prescribed the form of ovcrr act of their life , their clothing , and associ ates Thu brethren ot the Tomnlo wore ex horted to shun the kuu ot every woman , whether maid or wldow ' mother , aunt or sls- ; tor , The general spirit of the Toniplar stat utes romaiuod unaltered to the end At tbp time of its suppression It was calculated to number 15.0000 members PhiliD IV of Franco had secured the elec tion of Clement V. as pone by his gold and lulluonce , and this pone lent hlmsoTf to hi purposes In 1300 the popa summoned the grand master from Cyprus to Frunco-Janio do Molul obeyed the call , aud hearing of the charges against his order domanacd a prompt examination Clement was urged on by Philip , who was determined on the dc struction of the Templars Finally Philip issued an order for the ar rest of all the Templars in Franco , aud do Molal wus Buizcd , with sixty of his brethren , in Paris Tne inquisitors began their work at once , nnd inhuman tortures forced the most horrible avowals from tLs lips of many In Paris alone thirty-six Templars died of torture Of 140 Templars examined at Pans , the oxporloaco of seine of whom extended over nearly half a century , there Is hutdly ono who did not admit the dishonoring of the crucifix at his reception , nnd many others confessed to charges of the worst descrip tion Clement V. , although ho suspended the inquisitors powers In Franco , wrote to Edward II to arrest all tno English Tomplars , which was accordingly done The trial of the Tomplais began in April , 1310 , nnd n month later fifty-four of them were burnt bv order of the Archbishop of Sens , and a few days later four raoro worn met by the same fate Clement and PniUp had como to terms nnd the former con domuod the Tomplars , and when thut pontiff delivered his sermon against thorn Philip was at his right hand The order was never formally pronountod guilty of the crimes laid to its charge , but many wore burned ut tUo stake us a result of Philips ' hatred The opinion that the monstrous charges brought ugalnst the Templars were false , and the confessions were only extracted by torture , is supported by the gcnoral results of the Investigation carried on in almost every country outside of Fiance , us councils cxistct where the prejudice against them was not so strong as in France The con ncction between Templarism and Masonry dates from thu time of the persecu tion of the order under Philip the Fair , when tl > o English und Scotch Toinplurs Jolnod the Freemasons lodges , and ns 11 vo Knight ! could consccrato a convent and cro nto Knights , they did so under the shield of Masonic lodco rooms The order with ull its secrets wus thus handed down to the present time It is said that this association of the Tomplars and MnsonB at the tltno of the formers persecution led to the grnftlngupon the ritual of the working craft of considera ble eastern imagery and signs and symbols , many pf the latter being today a protection to travelers through the hostllo til bos ot the east east.Tho order of the Knights of the Red Cross , which is the first of the Templar degrees - groes conferred under the present Masonic working , is founded upon incidents con nected with the building of the second tem ple , aud which are said to hava taken place during tbo reign of Darius I. , son of Hystnspls , king ot Persia Many historians bcliuvo Hystaspis to bo Ahasuorus , who dis carded Vushtl and took Esther to bo his wife This order Is more Intimately con nected with Freomusonry than Is either of the other two orders of Knights Templar , Tholr sessions nro held in a council cbumbor , culled the Hall of tbo East , aud the gather ing ot tbo Knights represents an assemblage of rulers and princes which was held at Hubylon Tbo ritual of the order provides that the room shall bo lu/nlshed in oriental splendor , with red drapery and the blazing sun ot.Porsla behind the sovereign master For the latter , known also as the eminent commander , is prescribed a costume of royal scarlet or purple robes , with Persian crown und golden scepter , Thu cnancollor or gen erallfslmo wears a yellow and green roba and turban , a broad purple glrdlo around his waist and a Persian sun upon his breast The master of the palace , or the captain general - oral , wears green robes and turban , u broad rod sash about bis waist , a sua on his breast , and is armed with a sword i. o. o. r. Urothor John Medolo , P. G. M- , makes a good point against the action ot the sovereign grand lodge In the lata legislation of that body allowing subordinate lodges to omit mooting * which fell on legal holldajs , says the Ilbchesier , N , Y. , Herald He justly claims that such a law , before It ran become operative , must first bo sauctloued by tbo grand lodge , which alone has control of the meeting of the subordinate , nnd ho gives oino pertinent points in which the subordin ate ledges are deeply Interested The chief point Is tbo payment of dues If the mooting falls on a legal holiday and Is omlttod and a member cornea to pay his duos , and Is de barred because the lodge Is uot In session , and that member is taken slek the law ot the sovereign grand lodge declares that ho is not entitled to benefits because ho did not pay his dues in il.o lodge Now if the ledge Ulogallv omits a meeting of this kind without the pcinilsslcn of the grand ledge , then the benefits must bo • pild the same ns If the brother hnd paid his dues The same rule applies to the time of electing oflloors Wo give the following case : Christmas this j oar false on Wednesday Suppose Plornl lodge , whlirh Is required by the constitution to elect ofliccry on that night , should conclude to omit the meeting becausu it win a holiday , nt what other time could the ofllcers bo legally elected ) The Bntuo law also affects the time ot nuioudmg the bylaws , wnich must lav ever two weeks after being proposed , and are required to bo acted upon at the third mooting Suppose u member of Floral or Humboldt ledge otlors an amendment on the 11th day ot December nnd the lodge omits to hold n meeting on both Christmas and Now Years , what can ba done with thu pionosod amendments ! These points ate of vital in terest to each subordinate ledge and also each subordinate encampment , nud ns Brother Meilolo s ivs the ledges would do well to hesitate In taking advantage of the privilege direct from the sovereign grand lodge It bus been ostituatod that the order pays fO ovury mlnutu for the relief of the dis tressed , which shall lng hns no parallel cither in scctaiiau or non-sectari.iii bodies , o. or i. u.
