The Aim of Pythianism.

To obliterate differences in education.
wealth, station. religion, politics and nation
al1ty. 1t Is promoter of peace and harmony;
1T cultivates the social graces; it makes
friends of strangers and brothers of ac-
quaintances; it softens the asperites of life.
Worships at the shrine of deity, recognizing
the omnipOtence of God and the Immortality
of man. 1t is religious, not sectaran; pa
trioiic but not partisan. 1t grows by the
freside. radient with perpetual joys. 1t
glorifes God in worship and in song. 1t
blesses humanity in genial mirth and hui
man sympathies 1t is perennial founda-
ton at which the old may drink and grow
young. 1T is a daily benediction to its de-
voices, and like a thing of beauty is Joy
forever. 1t stands, like the statue of Liberty,
beacon light to the tempest tossed and way
faring mariner and brother, pointing him the
way to the haven of refuge, to the right of
living and the right of doing.
Such are our teaching, and if this standard
is not attained by the members, the fault is
not in Pythianism but in themselves.-K of

PYTHIAN NEWS NOTES.


In this HARVEST portion of our Supreme Do
main. where people have not all yet estab-
lished homes for themselves, especially in
the case Of multitudes Of promising young
men whose homes are thousands of miles
hence. it becomes a kindly work for well-dis-
posed people to care and feel for the strangers
within our gates Such as they are frequent
~ without home or friends save whom they
meet in fraternal societies. and but for whom
they might suffer neglect and miss many
kind ministratiOnS when the unfortunate fall
or meet with accident.
The churches are more or less open to the
stranger. but they have, we may say little
care outside their own particular fold. So
there seems, to our mind, no better refuge for
these semi strangers than among the social
fraternities the leaders of them all being the
knights OF Pythas, and SO largely and re-
Specially represented in the northwest.
Here they have the opportunity to meet and
make new friends and BROTHERS, and are thus
enabled to enjoy social functions and fra
ternal gatherings with respectable and re-
fined people, They profit by the benefits and
sociability open to true knights and hail fell
lows.
When sick and in distress soiourning
Pythans need never be neglected. SO perfect
is the system and so solicitous it's kind
ministrations for relief and comfort No
worthy young man need remain long as q
stranger left to the care of mercinaries in
time OF sickness. He need not seek for so
liability in questionable resorts, while here
he may always be sure of an opportunity
frequently to spend the evening with men
worthy his respect and confidence. no matter
what his better circumstances and former as
sociatiOns might have been. He finds home
and true friends when he becomes a knight
Tor by that time many have become ac-
quainted with him and know his worth.
Where'er he goes, he finds the same true
friends, in sickness and in health He is n
man among men, tested and found of sterling
worth, and his home people may well feel se-
cure. resting in the assurance that he is nei-
Their far from friends nor .home.-Western

Army of the Unemployed.

Among those Of our readers who are
disposed to ''seek the truth" there may
perhaps be some who will volunteer an
answer to the live question so squarely
put by Mr.. Miller, 'What shall be done
with the unempoyed?"
We should be glad indeed to publish a
complete and satisfactory answer to that
most perpleXing of questions, but un-
fortunately it is much easier asked than
answered. There is altogether too
much truth in the statement made by
Mr.. Miller to be at all pleasant to the
reader.
1t is lamentable fact that in every
section of our country the army of the
unemployed is steadily increasing in
numbers and in the intensity of its de-
mandS. We do not undertake to furnish
an answer to his question. nor do we
reproduce the answer which he himself
gives, preferring to lay his query before
our readers and await their reply.
1t, however, is entirely safe to predict
that if a satisfactory solution is not soon
reached the question will be not, ''What
shall society do with the unemployed?'
but rather, What will the unemployed
do with our modern society?"
