Amity lodge No. 231 X of P. held an
open meeting last evening at their hall
affair and the crowd was large. Before
opening the hall to the families of
mem berS the ante rooms overlooked
and filled the stairways. A public In
a banquet was the occasion The fami-
lies of members were invited and the
invitation was accepted. The banquet
consisted of oysters, coffee, cake and
fruit. 1t was a banquet we'll served,
fully appreciated and amply dispatch
ed. A social time followed. The
knights of Pythias, as we'll as other or
ders have found these public or open
meetings of value to themselves as well
as to the public, and there should be
more of them whenever the order is of
itself conducive to the public good. The
K. of p based on the cardinal virtues
of Friendship, Charity and Benevolence
serve a moral and heartfelt purpose. 1t
their work and purpose were better
known. There is of course a need of
certain degrees of secrecy for their
own benefit, but a wider publicity would
doubtless enlarge the sphere of useful
ness. The lodge work of the evening
in public was opened by a very timely |
and well conceived and we'll delivered
by Past Chancellor A. N. Good |
man. The response on behalf of the |
visitors was made by James Miller, past |
chancellor of Topeka lodge No. 80. This |
address too, was one of unusual merit, |
puntuated with frequent reference to |
the beneficial and charging influence of |
the order. 1t was a short pointed, prac- |
fellow members, but pleasing to the |
visitors. North Topeka is not often ia |
vored with a more agreeable public af- |
affair. The following officers were in |
