PYTHiAN ADDRESSES.

On last Thursday night the officers
Of Prospero Lodge Knights Of Pythias
were publicly installed at the Baptist
church by Deputy Grand Chancellor
A, W. Loving. The lodge marched
in uniform from the castle hall to the
church, where large number of
friends Of the order were assembled,
took seats near the pulpit, with the
officers as near in position as circum-
stances would allow, when the grand
officers entered and the installation
ritual was performed handsomely and
impressively by the Deputy Grand
Chancellor. Afterward, Hon. NJ.
M. Neil, Of Trenton, Grand Vice
Chancellor of the state, was introduced,
when he delivered an eloquent and
instructive "A ldress on tie principles,
teachings and duties of Pythianism.
He spoke forty minutes, portraying
in beautiful and poetic language the
friendship and courage taught by the
great prototypes Of the order, Damon
and Pythias, and illustrated its prin.
ciples by referring to several striking
examples. He was listened to with
mark attention, and at the close Of
his address received the warm ap>
plause of the audience.
Hon. R. W, Haynes, of Launcelot
lodge, Jackson, followed with an adj
dress Of about thistyGye minutes,
which represented the historical view
Of the order, and was very interesting
and eloquent. He presented some
new ideas on the subject, which We
have not before heard or seen ad-
vanced. He had often wondered why
Damon aud Pythias were such warm
friends tnat they were willing to die
for each other, and had discovered the
cause during the last few days. He
stated that it was historical fact that
Pythagoras founded his.,school of phi>
losophy some two centuries before the
time of Damon and Pythias, organ.
lied secret lodges of members pledged
to live up to the principles of the or
der, and that Damon and Pythias
were members thereof. This is a
bare idea ofhis argument, without any
of his eloquent and convincing Ian
guage. He closed with the statement
thai every true Pythian observed the
"Book of Law" the Holy Bible, a:
his guide through life, aud thai
Pythianism Was the handmaiden o.
religion.
After the speaking, the lodge anC
invited guests repaired to the vaOan
house on the corner Of Main anC
jackson streets, where lunch of oys
ters, birds and coffee was served.
