N PLEDGED THE GRAND MASTER. | Knights Templar All Over the United States Drink His Health, THE SCOTTISH RITE QUESTION IN OHIO. A Decision of the Courts Which Places the Matter in a Different Light )tes Among the Lodges. ~News On Christmas day the Knights Templar of this ‘¢ity wssembled in the asylum of Mt. Cal- vary commandety in Freemason’s block to rt in the Christmas libatiore in ac- e with o custom established about rs ago, enstern timeo, dging the erand master ohn P, Gobin, in the following toast 'o our grand master, with Christmas greet- fng from $4,000 American Templars.” At the same moment Knights Templar all over the United States joiued in the same pledge. To this the grand master sent the following response: *‘Responsive greeting to the great army of templars, an incomparable body of Christian knights, with hearts united in fra- ternal bonds and glowing with 1l-absorbing flame JWhich, kindled by another, grows the same, Wrapt in one b Following the drinking of the toast and tho delivery of the response, brief extemporan- cous responses were made to impromptu tonsts by various members. The idea of having these annual gatherings for the purpose of drinking to the health of the most eminent grand commander ovigl- nated in the committec on foreign corre- spondence of the grand commandment, abont three years ago. This committec 1s composed 5 of the several all joined in Most Eminent id com: ps and these resolved among them- ith selves to each, by himself, drink to the he of the grand master at noon on Christmas This idea was soon taken up by the comm of the country and it was lu\llllL.l'(' that each commandery should assemble in its asy- lumat 12 o'clock noon, eastern time, and clink glasses in a toast to the grand master, at exactly the same moment, when over eighty thousand Knighta Tomplar in all parts of this great country wes same toast, The idea proved a very popular one and has been very generally observed. The o sion has also been taken to drink in silence to the memory of departed members of the comiaandery. e Joiuing in rinking the A.and A, S, R, The following dispatch from Bucyrus, O, appeared in the New York Sun of the 23d v days there nas been a jud fon in the long-pending Masoui which is a substantial victor; for tho supreme council of the Anci Accopted i rite for the Unite of America, their tey and encies, of which Sherifl-elect John J.Gorman of New York is most puissant grand com- of many that have state of Ohio under cumstances, growimg out of the nllempl of the grand master of the state to dit the orgamization of which Judge is grund commander, and to expel m memhers frofi- bitos and mombership in state lodges. There has been endless turmoil Inside the lodges, and many suits are still awaiting settlement in which the points ure substantially the same as in this case, “This controversy is peculiar to Ohio. Everywhere else what is called sometimes Cerneau masonry, or the United States ju diction body, by whic is meant the body over which Judge Gorman presides, is recog nized as legitimate wnd beneficial to the order of Masonry in generol, and is not only not opposed, but is encouraged. But in Ohio 1t happens that the grand muster be- 0 another ttish rite body known as the nortuern jurisdiction body, and in ordew to strengthen his organization and weuaken the other, he used his officiul position in many ways, until restrained by the courts to check the growth of the rival or United States bod.

They got an injunction in the courts againat the grand master on tho ground that he had exercised undue authority and persecution, and thus op- pressed and injured them as Masons.

The Bu court sustains all tho claims of the sup council of the United s of America, their rrand commander, and u rer of the northern jur- asdiction rite, It is a decision which seems likely to settie the long-vending coutroversy, and to bring the Ohio Masons into the same category with the Masons of other states who do not assume to decide the vexatious Scottish rite controversy, but permit their members o join whichever body they please, 80 long as they perform their duties as Ma- sons in their respective lodges, The practical effect of the Bucyrus decision wiil be to stop the quarrels of Masons in Ohio, and thus strengthen the order in_that state, The de- cision is one that will be interc: members of secre B! tains the claim that member W ho are not members of anoth ry their quarrels into a foreign organization and attempt, to disrupt it and deprive mem- bers of valuable rights and privileges by a conspiracy for no legal cause " Frederick the Great on Mason The following letter was written by Fred- erick tho Great, who was a Mason, to the Roman bishops and priests of Germany who denounced Freemasons as sovcers, vicious peovle, thieves aud emissaries of the anti- Chvrist: February 7, 1783, —My Ve Reverend Fathers: Information has reached me, cor- roborated by the public press, that you are realously agitating the public to druw the sword of fanaticism against quiet, virtuous and honorable citizens, whose only erime in your eye is that they are Freemasons.
