The ceremony of initiation is contained in a copyrighted book called the Kloran written by Imperial Wizard Simmons. The Bible is opened at the 12th Chapter of Romans. These songs are sung: We meet in cordial greetings In this our sacred cave To pledge anew our compact With hearts sincere and brave; A band of faithful Klansmen Knights of the K.K.K. We all will stand together Forever and for aye. Chorus: Home, home, country and home; Klansmen, we'll live and die For our country and home. Her honor, love and justice Must actuate us all, Before our sturdy phalanx All hate and strife shall fall. In union we'll labor Wherever we may roam, To shield a Klansman's welfare, His country, name and home. KLEXOLOGY (Tune--America) "God of Eternity, Guide, guard our great country, Our homes and store. Keep our great state to Thee; Its people right and free In us Thy glory be Forevermore." CHAPTER VII KU KLUX KLAN AND THE JEWS _"Drive them out of the United States" are the words that are used to enlist Jew-haters into the ranks._ In spite of the fact that ever since the beginning of the American colonies, in the war of the revolution and in other national crises, great Jews have helped to make the United States what it is today, the Ku Klux Klan recruits misguided members on the representation that it has found a scheme to drive the Jews out of the country. Anti-Jewish propaganda is used particularly in large cities and in smaller communities where racial and religious flames may be fanned in order to win members and money for the Ku Klux. _The Searchlight_, the official paper of the Klan, teems with anti-Jewish literature. Secret documents and stories are passed around privately among the organizers and used in gaining recruits. "Chaplain" Ridley is one of the most rabid of the campaigners against the Jews. He never lets an opportunity go by to ridicule Jews and stir up prejudice. In the first place, Jews are barred from the Ku Klux Klan. In a questionnaire that must be filled in by those who are initiated these questions are asked: "Are you a gentile or a jew? What is your religious faith? Of what church are you a member (if any)? Of what religious faith are your parents?" CHAPLAIN ATTACKS JEWS "Chaplain" Ridley in _The Searchlight_, writes: "I cannot help being what I am racially. I am not a Jew, nor a negro nor a foreigner. I am an Anglo-Saxon white man, so ordained by the hand and will of God, and so constituted and trained that I cannot conscientiously take either my politics or my religion from some secluded ass on the other side of the world.
