It was reorganized into an assessment benefit order at a meeting of the Supreme Council on January 15, 1877. Membership was open to men and women. There were 20,000 beneficiary members and 30,000 social members in the late 1890s. The overall organization was the Supreme Council which met biennially.

However the group "succumbed to dry rot" and only had 256 members at the time of its formal liquidation on February 21, 1920.

Sources differ as to the fate of the order – Albert Stevens, writing in the late 1890s says that while the Order was strong twenty years beforehand, it was now dormant.

221:. The Knights were, like the Sons of Temperance, an all-male order and worked three degrees which the candidate for initiation was never supposed to forget. Within a year the Knights of Jericho reorganized as the Good Templars, an order that was open to both sexes and worked only one degree.
181:. In contrast to the Knights of Jericho, the Good Templars allowed women as well as men to join the organization. It also worked only one degree, the Red Cross, rather than the Knights' three. Soon, however, this proved inadequate and a new three degree system was devised by the Rev.
