An address by Sovereign Grand Commander Albert Pike of the Southern Jurisdiction. Dated April 19, 1866. In this document, Pike denounces the behavior of the members from the two competing Supreme Councils for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, one led by Sovereign Grand Commander Edward A. Raymond and the other by Killian Van Rensselaer. Pike discusses the two Supreme Council’s failed attempts to gain the recognition of the Southern Jurisdiction and provides his opinions upon other issues such as the Cerneau inspired Supreme Council of Edmund B. Hays and Killian Van Rensselaer’s role in the Schism of 1860.
