About the year 1118 the Knights of St. John, or Hespitallers of St. John, afterward called Knights of Rhodes and finally Knights of Malta, a military-religious Order. It became established at about the commencement of the Crusades. As early as 1048, some merchants from Amalfi, in the Kingdom of Naples, being struck with the misery to which the pilgrims were exposed on their road to the Holy Land, obtained 'permission from the Calif of Egypt to erect a church and build a monastery near the site of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, which they. dedicated to St. John the Baptist. They enter tained all pilgrims that came for devotion, and cured the diseased among them. They became eminent for their devotion, charity and hospitality, St. John the Baptist Hospitallers of St. John being their patron, they were called Brethren or the Baptist of Jerusalem, to distinguish them from the Knights" bf the Holy Sepulchre. Their dress was the black habit of the Hermits of St. Augustine, and on their left breast they wore a cross of eight points. At the beginning of the " twelfth century they were regularly instituted as a military order by their principal, Raymund du Puy. They took vows of chastity, obedience and poverty, and their duty was to defend believers against Infidels. The Order soon became rich and flourishing and eminently distinguished for its devotion, charity and hospitality. It was divided into three classes-Kaights, Chaplains and Servitors. Pascal II bestowed upon it several valuable privileges. By union and courage it long maintained itself against the Turkish and Saracen arms, but with all other Christians they were driven from Palestine in 1191. These Knights then conquered the island of Cyprus, but soon lost it again, and in 1309 established them- selves in the Island of Rhodes, at which time they took the name of Knights of Rhodes, of the Order of St. John. Meantime the Knights ofthe Temple, though the younger onder of the two was by many esteemed more honorable, and therefore many noblemen, princes and persons of highest distinction entered themselves among the Knights Templar. Both orders for many. years generally took the field together, as well as by themselves, in conjunction with troops of the Crusaders. They won many battles and per formed prodigies of valor. When, in 11g, the Turks and Saracena assembled in great force and drove all Christians out of l'alestine, the last
