Will vf»u kindly allow m<* space
in your valuable paper to answei
a statement that has Ih*«*ii sent
broadcast ovor tho county. in rof
onn-o To tho oatli tak»*n by all
inoinbors of tho Knights of f'oluni-
I• us. 1 as a Knight, knowing tin
obligation takon by inoinbors ol
that Ordor. would not pay any at
font ion to tin* mattor were it not
for tho fact that several of my
IVot'-stant personal friends have
asked me about it and called my
attention to a newspaper known
as the “PERIL” that lias boon
distributed over the country,
thereby endeavoring to create big
otry among people who bold dif
ferent religious views. I cannot
understand how a person of nor
ma' mind, who comes in daily con
tact with his Catholic brethren,
can believe the foul matter pub
lished in his sheet. However, there
are some people who seem to be
lieve the bogus oath. I present
the following statement and it ran
be verified as 1 give names and ad
dress. A. M. and G. E. Morrison
of the Maukata .JOURNAL
charged Brother E. M. Lawless of
tin* Wat rville, Minn., Sentinel
with having taken the bogus oath.
111-other Lawless sued the Morri
sons for criminal libel. A Protes
tant jury was selected with the
Reverend Thomas hillings, pastor
of the Methodist Church, Water
ville, Minnesota, as foreman of the
jury. The jury brought in a ver
dict of guilty and the Morrisons
were sentenced to thirty days in
jail. They appealed the case.
Now let tis present what the Ma
sons of California found in tin*
Knights of Columbus. “We here
by certify that by the authority of
the highest officers of the Knights
of Columlms. in the State of Cali
fornia, who acted under instruc
tions from the supreme officers of
the Order in the United States, we
furnished a complete copy of the
work, ceremonies and pledges
used by the Order and that we
carefully read, discussed and ex
amined the same. We found that
while the Order is in a sense a
secret organization, it is not an
oath-bound organization and that
its ceremonies are comprised in
four degrees, which are intended
to teach and inculcate principles
that lie at the foundation of every
great religion and every free state.
Our examination of these cere
monials and obligations was made
principally for the purpose of
ascertaining whether or not a cer
tain alledged oath of the Knights
of Columbus, which has been
printed and widely circulated, was
in fact used by the Order and
whether, if it was not vised, any
oath, obligation or pledges used
which was or would he offensive
to Protestants or Masons, or those
who are engaged in circulating a
document of peculiar'viciousness
and wickedness. We find that
neither the alleged oath nor any
oath or pledge bearing tin* remot
est semblence thereto in matter,
manner, spirit or purpose is used
or forms a part of the ceremonies
of any degree of the Knights of
Columbus. The alleged oath is
scurrilous, wicked and libelous and .
must be the invention of an impo
tent and venomous mind. We find
that the Order of Knights of Co
lumbus, as shown by its ritual, is |
dedicated to the Catholic religioA;
charity and patriotism. There is
no propaganda proposed or taught
against Protestants, Masons or
persons not of the Catholic faith.
Indeed Protestants and Masons
are not referred to directly or in
directly in the ceremonies or
pledges. The ceremonies of the
Order teach a high and noble pa
triotism, instill a love of country,
inculcate a reverence for law and
order, urges the conscientious and
unselfish performance of civic
duty and holds up the constitution
of our country as the richest and
most precious possession of a
Knight of the Order. We can find
nothing in the entire ceremonies
of the Order that to our minds
could be objected to by any per
son.
