mon. Each member had on a neat Py-
THAN badge and the lodges made fine
appearance marching in body. The
sermon was preached by Rev. J. W..
Duriee member of Pride of Minnesota

Instructive one, he told of the origin of
Pythianism and of the struggles of the
pioneer Afro-American Pythians. The
speaker showed that all staple secret or.
ganizations must be founded on the prin.
ciples Of the Bible. The discourse was
thoroughly appreciated by all present
and as mark of appreciation on the
part the Knights for the able sermon
delivered by their fellow knight quite a
neat little sum was taken up and pre-.
scented to the speaker by the Master of
Finance OF Nat Turner Lodge. The
church was comfortably filed with the
wives, friends and we'll wishers of the
knights. During the sermon both Chan.
cellor commanders presided jointly.
The exercises were opened with we'll
worded and fifty spoken address by the
Chancellor Commander of Nat Turner
Lodge. The Prelate of Pride of MINES.
ota Lodge made the opening prayer. At
the close of the exercises the Knights
marched out of the church in a body
we'll pleased with the excellent por.
trayal of the noble and elevating prin-
ciples Of true Pythianism.
