ARGUMENT.
Tins is the third and last of the Kadosh degrees, and &on-
bu inmates the Templarism of Masonry. The 'degree was origki-
ally a Christian degree of knighthood ; its object was, for a long
time, to reconquer the Holy Land and plant the Banner of the
Cross once more on the ruined walls of Jerusalem. Many of the
Knights of the Crusades were Masons, and thus became acquaint
ed with the legend which Masomy had preserved.
The Knights Kadosh are the legitimate successors of the
Templars.
None but earnest and sincere men, unselfish, and whose philan-
thropy is not a mere name, but a practical reality, should enter
here—such as will do Masonry good service in the war which she
is waging against the ancient enemies of the human race—a lover
of wisdom and an apostle of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.
