Mr.. RusS' Address.

had been asked to introduce Vice President

made a vigorous, appropriate speech. He
said: THE last years of this closing century

come to your national headquarters located

the knights of the District Of Columbia.
As Pythians we remember that the lesson
OF friendship must not be confined to words,
and that it is better to merit the good will
of a brother knight than to be rich in ma
terial things.
The Pythian, Sisters.
And right here let me also speak for the
Pythian Sisters Of Washington. Every
word uttered in behalf of the Pythian
Knights has been coupled with the thought
of a similar welcome in the interest Of the
Pythian Sisters. But with that thought
has come the fear that language Of mine
would prove inadequate to express the wo-
manly sentiment of their sincere greeting.
We owe much to the Pythian Sisters OF
Washington, for their connection with the
order has been of great service In arrang-
ing for your Welcome. Men may unite in
semi-military bodies, organize benevolent
societies, and otherwise band themselves
together for mutual profit and pleasure, but
without the cooperation of the gentler sex
they would fail in carrying out their pur-
pose of benefitng either themselves or the
world at large. Wcmans purity, tender
ness faith and love of the good and beau
tiful softens the grosser nature of man and
prepares the way for nobler and more en-
during efforts. Her gentle ways exert an
influence that leads and uplifts without re-
sorting to argument or persuasion, ana her
presence as co-laborer drives away base
Officers, representatives and friends, unite
with me in doing honor to the Pythian Sis
tiers of our order. Let your thoughts turn
to them in thankfulness for the good they
have accomplished in widening the field of
Pythian labors, and remember as you meet
them here that they also had much to do
with preparing your reception.
Your visit to Washington will not be
entirely one of pleasure, although We, your
hosts, prefer to have it so. Your duties as
officers and representatives of the Supreme
Lodge the military discipline of the Uni
form Rank and other functions of ma
tional encampment will demand great
part of your time and attention. The rapid
growth of the Pythian order and its mar
velous extension to every land where civ
ilization lends its enlightening influence
have added to your responsibilities and in
creased the burdens of your labors. But
the honor you enjoy is also great. To be
the trusted officer or representative of so
worthy an order is honor to be priced
above the preferments of either political or
military life. You come here not for sell
fish gain but for that high and lofty pur-
pose of berefilng your fellow man.

Principles Of Brotherly Love.

Practically the Pythian order is a be-
nevolcnt organization that ,lispenses charity
on broad humanitarian principles, and al
though it's growth has been almost phe
nomenal. no. other fraternal association
ever labored under greater disadvantages.
1t was founded at a time when civil strife
Caus led our common country to offer her
best and bravest sons to the God of Battle
and Notwithstanding the many difficulties
the order has since encountered, 1t has
steadily Increased in membership, until its
popularity has become a source OF pride to
the general public. The fraternal ties that
bind the Pythian brotherhood together do
not alone con Sist of mysterious signs, secret
obligations and ritual work, but are in
reality an eXemplification of the true prin-
ciples of brotherly love-principles that
prompt each individual knight to assist in
rescuing the fallen, watch tenderly at the
bedside of the sick. offer con sofa ton to the
afflicted, and Z2alously care for the desti-
tute widow and orphan.
The parable OF the ,sood Samaritan fully
illustrates the m&t3 OF the Pythian
knight in disseminating good and advanc-
ing the. standard of morality. No sub
stantial reform can be effected except
through the hearts OF She people and the
good work of the Pythian order is accom-
plished by a strict application of the cardi-
nal virtues found in ,the teachings of our
Savior. The underlying principles of the
Pythian order aresbfoader, more compre-
hensive. and beneficial than platform of
party or pnllOSOpny or statesmen, ana ltS
founders bulded grsat}r than they knew.
The moral of that touching allegory of
Damon ard Pythiayrea ches deeper into the
affairs of men than the wisdom of politics
or the truism of oratsry. and its benefcent
influence is a better guide to peace, plenty,
and prosperity than laws of nations or
edicts of sovereign rulers.
Hearty Welcome.
There is 10 wiser proposition for uni
versal brotherhood than is presented inrthe
Pythian doctrine of liberty of conscience
and conduct, equality of condition and
social standing, and fraternity of feeling
and interest in public affairs; and now, as
we stand on the threshold of universal
liberty and behold the dawn of a new era
which shall bring equality to a deserving
humanity, let us also look hopefully for
ward to the time when the good influence
of fraternal organizations shall peacefully
decide all differences between people and
governments and sweep away forever that
relic of barbarism-war between men and
brothers.
But 1 am DEPRESSING from the path of
duty. 1t was to give you hearty welcome,
to point out our satisfaction at your COM
ing, to assure you that the Pythians OF
Washington have warm hearts and are

All that is bright and good and beautiful
in this city of our nation is yours-yours

your pleasure dictates. Every Pythian home

kind-hearted women will make you well

social enjoyment or to examine objects of
historic and national interest, you will
be greeted with smiling faces and proffered

deeds will fill your hearts with gladness.
