"On the street, long before the hour, the crowds gather waiting in reverent silence for the opening of the service," writes Burdette, in "Temple and Templars."
The Templars abandoned their raison d'etre, retired to their possessions in the west, and placed their head-quarters at Paris, where they acted as the bankers of the French King.
I should have mentioned, that on our left hand, between Portree and Dr Macleod's house, Mr M'Queen told me there had been a college of the Knights Templars; that tradition said so; and that there was a ruin remaining of their church, which had been burnt: but I confess Dr Johnson has weakened my belief in remote tradition.
A few remarks in elucidation of the name "Templars," or "Knights of the Temple," may not be unacceptable. By the Mussulmans the site of the great Jewish Temple on Mount Moriah has always been regarded with peculiar veneration.

Now Chang is bitterly opposed to all forms of intemperance, on principle; but Eng is the reverse for, while these men's feelings and emotions are so closely wedded, their reasoning faculties are unfettered; their thoughts are free.
