Sunday morning at the Methodist
church to listen to Rev. d. A. Cole s
sermon to the Knights of Pythias.
The music and decorations were
beautiful and Mr.. Coles sermon a
simple, earnest, direct heart-to heart
talk which doubtless sank deep into
many hearts. His text was "What-
soever things are lovely, whatsoever
things aye pure, whatsoever things
are Of good report, If there be any
virtue, think on these things" In.
dicatiDg briefly that Pythianism is a
worthy handmaiden Of the gospel

warmly its benevolence, hospitality
and fraternal features. He then
pointed out the fact that opportunity

church and its tenets of hospitality ,
Uenevolence and brotherly love for
the teachings Of the greatest, noblest
Brother Of us all who said "Seek We
first the Kingdom of God"
lie concluded with an earnest ap.
peal to the Pytbians present to add
to their tenels AS watchword and
guiding star "the making of better
men" The members Of the order
attended the service in a body and
presented an impressive sight They
were unanimous in their appreciation
