GRAND CHANCELLOR GIVES AN
ELOQUENT. ADDRESS ON
PYTHIANISM
HISTORY OF CAPITOL LODGE
1t Has Completed Twelve Years
of Its Existence and Is in a
FIOurishing Com
dition.

knights of F'ythias Capitol Lodge. NO.
81, last night on the twelfth an1liveT-
sary of the institution of the lodge, held
a large meeting and listened to mag
nificent address on -Pythianism by Grand
Chancellor, George Tawney, of Winona.
Grand Recorder Wheaton presented
Past Grand Chancellor Arthur J. Stob-
bart who presided, with an exquisite
jewel which had been ordered by the
grand council.
In speaking of the significance of the
past twelve years of the lodge, Mr.. Taw-
ney said: Tonight I will bring into
play the imagination and invest each of
the twelve years that have passed with
personality and clothe each with the
ermine Of justice, and give it the power
of Judgment and then will place these
twelve judges in judgment, and call be-
fore them your membership, and as
listen with rapt attention to their char
atable, but just and impartial DEGREES,
in passing from the first to the last,
hear with delight addressed to a con-
stantly increasing number of names, the
words, you hav so lived that when you
come to the river that marks the IN
known shore, your hands, will be filed
with deeds or charity the golden keys
that open the palace of eternity" The
number twelve is also a unit of measure
in determining distance, quality and time
and If symbolism may be employed,
would liken the twelve years now passed
to the twelve hours of the night, which
with the twelve hours of light, make the
twenty-four hours Of the day. I would
like to feel that glorious as is that past,
in the fight Of the future that is before
you, it is only as the night is as to the
day and when the sun of your day as
cends to its meridian height, and re-
fleets in its radiant power and splendor,
the light of your acts of love and words
Of kindness like Joshua of old, I would
call upon it to stand still upon fifty-one
and hasten not to go down in all time. E"
Those of the party which made an
official visit to the lodge at the executive
session which preceded were: Past Grand
Chancellor Arthur J. Stobbart, Grand K
of R. and S. Fred E. Wheaton, of Min
neapolis; Grand Prelate Lindsay, T. Wa
tiers and Past Chancellor Greer NJ. Orr.
During the social session, Chancellor
Commander Maley, delivered the address
of welcome and called upon Past Grand
Chancellor Stobbart to take the chair
The programme was interspersed with
well known local talent. Henry Delaffeld,
Wilson gave some musical and selected
specialties which completely captivated
the house.
An exhibition wrestling bout between
Koen and McAuley was heartily ap-
preciated by the audience.
The general impression prevailed that
Mr.. TaWney delivered one of the most
mastery expositions on social and secret
societies that it had ever been the good
fortune of members of this department
to hear
