Since the reorganization in 1848 the organization has been kept up without having to encounter anything particular in shape of reverses except in 1849, when in its second childhood the cholera swept off many of its most treasured members. Latterly there has been a slow, silent, but steady increase, having to January 1, 1888, a membership of one hundred and thirty-one in good stand- ing, and is in a good and healthy condition. The regular and stated commu- nications are held on the first and third Mondays of each month.

The second regular stated meeting provided for under the by-laws was held on the fourth Tuesday of the month, March 27, 1860. At this meeting peti- tions were received from the following named persons praying to be admitted into the order, viz : Horace N. Bill, Clark S. Gregg, William Gaylord, and S. M. White, jr., and referred to the appropriate committees. And by the record we find on that evening, March 27, 1860, the committee having reported favor- ably on the petition of Charles L. Haines, he was then and there the first man made a mason, the first born of Perseverance Lodge, No. 329, F. & A. M., Sandusky.
From this small beginning she has by slow and silent increase grown, mak- ing a little average net gain, so that now she has a membership of eighty-nine in good standing. This lodge holds its regular stated meeting on the second and fourth Tuesday in each month.

Knights Templar. The order of Knights Templar was reorganized in Europe in the latter part of the eleventh century, and was very popular among the royalty-kings, princes and nobles-the rich and titled especially, taking much of its symbolism from archæology and claimed allegiance to the other previously organized Masonic bodies or organizations.
Its membership was composed of the ruling classes, those high in authority, both spiritual and temporal. And for a time it seemed to be under the con- trol of the bishops and prelates of the church of Rome, yet its office was rather of a warlike nature than otherwise, and the Pope was one of its greatest patrons, and he used all his power to make the order subservient to his wishes, an in- strument to strengthen the power of the church, and early in the twelfth cen- tury, at his dictation and under his supervision, a code of rules and regulations to govern the order was duly promulgated.
