The '''Templars of Honor and Temperance''' was established in the United States in 1845 as the Marshall Temperance Fraternity as part of the [[temperance movement]]. It then became the "Marshall Temple, Sons of Honor," and finally became the Templars of Honor and Temperance. It promotes complete [[abstinence]] from all [[Alcoholic beverage|alcoholic beverages]].
It is a secret [[fraternal]] order whose signs, hand grips, passwords and emblems closely resemble those of the [[Freemasonry|Masons]] and the [[Odd Fellows]].
The organization still exists in [[Scandinavia]], where it is known as Tempel Riddare Orden.
