Knights Of PytniHs IA this State By Grand
Chancellor Join Uirich;-
bretliren--Ihere is desoation in the
town of Seabright and the hearts OF the
members Of Seaside lodge No. ~ are cast
down and sad. A coniiagration has
swept the town and over four hundred
families are homeless On tile evening Of
Jnns 16 fire broke cut when not Only
destroyed the entire lodge room with the
contents, but drove before the flames
hundreds of families. Men, women and
children were driven FROM their ffesides
within the short space Of two hours, and
naught mark their resting places but
ruin aud desolation. A personal inspec-
ton OF the place today soon conv WINGED me
OF the absolute necessity that prompt re-
lief should be granted our brethren, and
we. as brothers, should lend
willing ear to the Macedonian cry. Come
over and help us.n Our brothers,
cries should not go nnheedcd. Raiment
have they none, save what they wear on
their persons. Shelter have they nome
save what is rendered them in tents on
the opposite banks of the Shrewsbury
River Their calamity is distressing and
prompt assistance aud relief should os
afforded them. Brethren, The hour has
come when we as individual Knights ana
Lodges should seek to exemp.ify our
great Pythian theahings and relieve tile
brothers in the hour OF their distress To
Chancellor Of the Knights of Pythias OF
the State of New Jersey Dy virtue OF orr
power in me vested, do hereby appeal TO
all Of the subordinate Lodges. Knights Of
Pythias of the State of New Jersey
10 respond 20 the call of our Sea-
side brethren and urgently request you

sistance, but thereby also teach the outside
world that we as loyal band of brothers
are practicing the precepts OF thess Cod
Like principles, Charity and Benevo-
lence.n
