having such a noble patron. His rel
igious philosophy to "lOve one an
other" was taught by Christ in Judea
800 years afterward. To his teaching
was due the pattern lines which furn.
ished the grand example of love and
friendship by Damon. and Pythias,
which was not a myth but a fact in
history. These men did not act from
sentiment. They had an inspiration.
The teachings Of such great men as
Pythagoras was inspired by God, the
father Of all. He pointed the knights
and their friends TO the fact that it is
the religious sentiment that sustains
life, as demonstrated by the fact that
the civilization Of Greece, the nation
of culture, and Rome that of law and
power, are both dead, while ISreal,
that OF religion, has permeated the
world and thereby lives and domi-
mates. All were pointed TO the Son
of Man as the Savior, the only name
whereby such examples of sacrifice
could be made permanent and prac'
tical in wears To come. Love is the
great cOnquerer, and true christianity
is its superlatiye degree. He hoped
to see the time when the fraternitiei
and the church could wholly banisl
self and practice only love. The trans
formation would not only be grea
but grand.
The sermon was well received ant
highly appreciated.

enced to the Hutchinson refOrmatOry.
He was released six months ago and

Fite was in love would not allow him
to see her or communicate with heI
after their elOpement two years ago.
Since his release from the refOrma-
tory, Fte has committed numerous

because he is despOndent over parent

He says that he intends to reform

anniversary Of the discovery of Amer
lea. Not long ago we celebrated the
centennial of our independence as a
nation. Other countries have had
expOSitiOnS to mark events of their

century. The latest proposition is to
have a grand exposition cOmmemOrat.

which about doubled the territory of
the United States.
In 1903, the country then being un-

Thomas Jefferson, the vast domain
known as the Louisiana Purchase was
acquired from France. This ceSSiOn
was bounded on the east by the Mis-
SiSslppi river throughout the entire
length Of that stream. Its western
and southern boundary started al
Sabine Pass, between Louisiana anC

35th anniversary February 10. The

bone at Washington City, Febru-
aTy 10, 1864. Since that time
over six hundred thousand citizens of
the United States have been knighted
under its banner. President McKin.
ley and W. J, Bryan both wear the in.
sigma of knight, being past chancel-
lOrS in the order. In addition to a
rapid growth in the United States,
the order has invaded the Old country
and become very popular there.
1t is the custom to observe the an
nivesary in some way, and Anchor
Lodge No. 9, in Wellington, has fOr
years made it a practice to attend
church in a body on the first Sunday
after the 10th of February. Ia pur'
suance Of this custom, they Sunday
by previous arrangement, attended
the Christian church. Seats were
reserved for them in the central tie
and the knights ID the number o
about fifty, regaled in their jewels
marched from their Castle Hall ant
filed into church.
