An end of the evening toast to Ann Arbor Commandery No. 13 on the last few moments of it's sesquicentennial: "To Ann Arbor Commandery, may it last until that glorious day when “the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains”; when “swords shall be beaten into plough shares and spears into pruning hooks”; when “nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more”; when the reign of the Blessed Emmanuel, the Prince of Peace, the Great Captain of our Salvation, shall become universal and eternal."

Do you remember the Arborough Games? They were a biennial Olympics-like competition held between Ann Arbor, Michigan and Peterborough, Ontario, cities which would later become sister cities. But why was there a connection between these two cities to begin with? Well it may have something to do with both cities having a group of Knights Templar named No. 13.
