LHE WASHINGTON BEE SECRET ORDERS PRO BONO PUBLICO. Wasurncton, D. C., May 27, 1897- To the Masonic Fraternity and the public in general, the following 1s sub- mitted in connection with the Ascen- sion services of Palestine Command- ery, No.1, K.T.: Several months ago I met the Rev. J. Anderson Taylor at the corner ot 15th and Pennsylvania avenue, n.w. After remarks, &c., asked him if atany time should we re- quire his services and church, would it be all right. He answered that he would be pleased to serve us. About a month ago Palestine Commandery, No.1, K.T, appointed a committee on Observance of Ascension, The committee waited on Brother Taylor, and he said that he would preach the sermon for the occasion. As soon as the news got out, committees from the opposite faction, (Virginia avenue and sth street, s. €.,) commenced a_ series of bull-dozing. They harassed Brother Taylor right and left. Several days after the funeral of Rev. Ed. Willis, I ran across the Rev. Taylor, who was then coming away from the funeral at Willis’ church, he was with company and I requested him to excuse himself for a moment, which he did, and I asked if everything would be all right for Ascension. Hereplied that he had told the Committee that everything was all right and when_he ve word it was his bond.

The Recorder's Office, as THE BEE P.G.M., S. R. Watts, M. D., (33 member of the Jackson Faction) an owing to the manner, that he was wor- ried about the matter, that it was im- possible for him to preach, and for us to let the services go on and place who- ever we desired in the pulpit. And behold! on the eve of May 27 Brother Taylor went to the Metropolitan church, ascended the pulpit and made remarks to the opposite faction. Last Ascension of 1896, were invited to go out with Simon Commandery, No. 1, K. T., for the purpose of going to the house of God to offer up our devotions. We were grossly insulted and not allowed to fallin. This year we go out under our own standard and not theirs, or Mount Calvary Commandery either. And this same element enters the house of God, compels the minister to leave the pulpit and made him eat his own words, and then call themselves Christian Knight Templers and Ma- sons. If any Masoncan show me where there is anything in Masonry that com- pels the Order to enter our politics, zion, or our private or civil af- fairs whatever they may be; I will eat my hat. And yet these good chris- tians, courteous and magnanimous Sir Knights and Masons (in name only) of inia avenue and sth street, s. ¢., enter the house of God and on the casions, viz: the observance of the nsion of the Great Emanuel, for the purpose of revenge. God_ being more powerful than the devil; we simply went into our own lines and nt forth some of our ministers, are not afraid to preach the word and Sir Knight, t ; ; saines, 32°, J Washington, 32 performed the ceremonies. ate that we have ministers to we had another one in our line, » for a chance to be brought Among the prominent Masons of the opposite faction present in the church wenoticed; P.G. M., S. R. Watts, M. D., 33°, P. G. M., R. , and F. H. Cozzens, 33°, (of the Jackson Supreme Council.) We don’t blame Brother J. Anderson Tay “or, on the contrary, he has our sy: pathy. This is the second public dis- graceful affair that has happened upon sacred occasions by Masons. To the Sir Knights, who participated, you did well, look well, and marched well, The thanks of the Command are extended to Sirs Kni; s W. P. Gray, 3 Rev. J. W, Rev.
