Taborian consitutions...

Preface

The intent and object of the founder of the International Order of Twelve of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was to form an organization, composed of men and women, including children, into a united, solid compact, making it a secret beneficial Order, uniting the members together by obligation and laws, binding them by secret ties, forming a chain that links them into one body — a unit in movement and action — for the interest and good of all worthy members.

The benefits of the Order are broad and comprehensive ; namely : to protect each other in danger; to give the best care to sick and disabled members ; to relieve and aid members in distress ; to help and aid the widows and orphans of members; to provide a home in each jurisdiction for the care of our old and decrepit members, where they can have every comfort provided for them to make life pleasant; to provide manual training schools for the orphan children of Knights and Daughters, where they can be educated and taught trades or professions; to help each other in business.

Remember, that the Taborian Order is p unit.

UNITY OF THE TABORIAN ORDER.

In all well regulated governments there must be a central power. In the United States of North America there is a central or general power. Around and sustaining this central government are a galaxy of States. These States have their county, municipal and township laws. All work together with perfect unanimity, forming one strong government, under which all citizens feel secure in their rights and privileges.

The International Order of Twelve has a form for its government that secures to its members every right and privilege that the Taborian laws give to them. The International Grand Temple and Tabernacle is their general or central government. The Grand Temples and Tabernacles are the State governments. The Temples of the Knights of Tabor, Tabernacles of the Daughters of Tabor, Palatums of Eoyal Medians, and Tents of Maids and Pages, are its county, municipal and township organizations, all uniting and forming one compact and solid government under its laws, giving to each and every member equal and exact privileges in all parts of the Taborian jurisdiction.
