the ambition to obtain some outward

They possibly had their inception at
the time of the crusades, which had for
their object the redemption of the tomb
of our Savior from the hands of the
infidel Moslem. The people of America

Ih'tt'new theory of gbyernment they yet

pernaps jay claim to any such
qistiniion. but . in the years which
bii to-come, its influence will be looked
to as a new epoch in the civilization of
its day. and while it cannot claim the
magnificence that marked the temple of
Solomon, it will yet retain a leader
place in the hearts of our membership,
because from its narrow wails has gone
forth an order which Contemplates the
practice; of virtues so exalted and un
selfish, that itis impossible that it shall
not 'grow and expand as long as its
membership Is characterized by fidelity
and devotion to those virtues. The
revolutions, of time will not stop its
growth, nor can exterior forces retard
its progress.
After Napolecn Bonaparte the man
of destiny had written his will with
the mailed hand of war upon the map
or Europe, his skill as the greatest or
modern generals (up to nis day; was
acknowledged by the world, and be-
caiiBe of his greatness as a military
statesman he must be a failure, but his
administration of the government oi
France as her peaceful Emperor was
stamped with a wisdom in statesman
ship as narked as had been his former
military career for skill in generalship.
He, himself, claimed that he had bureau
drawers in his brain, one of which con
tained all he "knew of one kind of
knowledge, and others, all he knew of
other blatters, and so arranged that he
coplA open and shot them at pleasure.
! The.founders of our order seem to
have opened the right oureau-drawer,
and the association Minerva like
sprang, full-fledged into being, if we
practice that knightly courtesy due to
each other, with a destiny as enduring
as the wants of man, and a field as
broad as the boundaries . of the conti
nent. There Was nothing like it before,
ana if we practice its teachings, there
will be nothing to come afyer it that
will approach its matchless symmetry,
or its well regulated autonomy.
