years may bring to the state, who can
doubt that the knightly men of this
great brotherhood will stand as ada

petuation OF all that is best III our
ciyilization-of all that 1t has cost CEN
turtles of tiresome endeayor to achieve.
Representing every portion of the re-
public, every vocation and calling in
life, II is yours to bind stronger
! the cords of every section and state
into one undivisable. indestructible
union. And now, 1t but remains to wei
come you, knights Of Pythias, to Wash

to the most beautiful city in the
world. Here is the symbol of authority,
the grandeurs of the greatest govern
ment known to man. You will find IT.,
indeed no mean city. You are not
strangers, but fellow citizens. Your
arrival is timely. Congress has adj
journed and the right OF way Is yours.
/ The public buildings are open to you.
Upon your long line of march thou
sands of times your hearts will be
made glad by the cheering words float
