PASADENA, April 23-Three hun
dred knights Templar of Pasadena, Los
Angeles and Long Beach today observed
Easter by attending services at the
First Baptist church, where a special
program had been arranged for this
afternoon. Four special cars of the
Pacific electric line brought the COM
manderies of Los Angeles and Long
Beach to this city. Pasadena COM
mandery was in waiting to receive
them, being drawn up in line on Ray
mond avenue at present swords while
the visiting columns marched past and
thence to the church, the local COM
mandery falling in at the rear. A band
accompanied the Los Angeles delega-
tion and furnished music during the line
was fragrant as we'll as radiant from
the Easter decorations of lilies and
other choice blossoms. The usual
opening ceremonies were observed in
accordance with the knights Templar
custom, followed by special music by a
selected quartet.
Rev. A. Hatcher Smith, pastor of the
church, extended a hearty welcome to
all the Sir knights and thanked them
for the honor of their presence. The
pastors sermon was based on an ut
terance of Christ according to ST. Mat
thew as follows: II came here not to
destroy, but to fulfill" The discourse
was one of intense interest to all
present. The speaker several times
referred to the Sir knights as a body
representing the highest intellect and
as one of the greatest organizations in
the land.
AT the close of the service and before
benediction beautiful solo was rem
dered by Miss Bowers. Previous to
their departure for their homes the
visiting Sir knights were served with
refreshments by the Eastern Star ladies
at the hall of the Pasadena comman-
derry.
