KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs, BAYARD LODGE,
No. 4.-The Lodge being duly opened by
Frederick A. johnson, chancellor elect, the
o. S. announced the deputy Grand Chan
cellor of the State of Louisiana, William
EltLStlitll, uiStAuS uASASu s5oSoeD,
who were at once admitted.
Chancellor johnson extended cordial
welcome and expressed to the Deputy Grand
Chancellor the pleasure it afforded him to
transfer his chair and gavel to a knight SO ex-
tensively and worthily known in the COM
munity.
To which the Deputy Grand Chancellor
he oho;v ..T'bot bQ
was indebted to Bayard Lodge for their
warm reception, and trusted they would
bear in mind his very recent appointment,
through the recommendation of friends, as
DEPUTY Grand Chancellor of the State of
louisiana and should his inexperience in
the workings of the lodge be made mani
fest, he trusted the members would throw
around him mantle of charity,
and at once proceeded with the installation
of elected officers: Frederick A. johnson,
Chancellor; Peter Delaney, P. c., and NJ.
Heidingsfelder, Venerable Patriarch. The
impressive ceremony ended, Chancellor
johnson resumed the chair, and made the
following remarks:
Brother knights of Bayard Lodge, and
guests-Again have l been the recipient OF
the highest honors and confidence in your
power to bestOw. And accepting the high
position OF Chancellor of this lodge, am
no less appreciative OF your compliment,
than sensitive of the laborious duties that
devolve upon me in carrying out the ends
of this truly intended to be beneficial order
10 mankind.
To achieve which, as the occupant Of your
highest Office. become the servant of those
who elevated me, and the success of my
Term becomes dependent upon your conf
dence, advice and assistance.
Scandal has been active i'll this cOmmunl-
" to connect the order with political in
trigues, and l regret to hear it imputed,
that there are members in our midst who
are direlect in attendance from fear of their
political status. %
Should such be true, l have but to say
that man, strong in his own self-respect
and honest in his conscientious intentions,
fears neither the frown OF the world nor the
machinations of his enemies.
The daily transactions of life, under the
broad folds of that uncomfortable flag of
freedom, teaches us the dependency OF men
upon each other and the value OF unity and
fraternity.
The daily practice of the principles of Our
order, has a tendency to refine all the nobler
qualities of man, and to cultivate the most
tender and appreciative feelings toward
each other, and practically illustrates the
teachings of the golden rule" to .'love our
neighbOr as ourselves"
Such is my Interpretation of the object of
the order, and so long as may have the
honor to be a member, trust never to be
charged with such want Of iberalitv of
visws, as may dim the lustre of knight of
ancient or modern days.
The lodge then met most socially around
round bowl of most excellent punch, and
all drank heartily to the following toast
offered by ex-V P r. H. Chadburne
To Alfred Shaw, late Deputy Grand
Chancellor. whose duties to the city re-
CURED the tender OF his resignation as our
leader. While absent in person, we toast
him as present, as present or absent, he is
equally dear to u.s.
Warm speech were made by Chancellors
T. j. Farrell, j. Z. GAS. kamp, M. II. Nicoll,
William Delaney, and many others, while
j. K. Garlepicd, r. s., Piled his laddle in
vain endeavors to empty the huge punch
bowl.
