Vice Chancellor Walton, in order to aid
the rank team, had served as master-at-
arms during the year thus impairng his
succession to the office of chancellor
commander. Mr.. Dunlap's resignation
opened the way for Walton to serve out
the remainder of the formers unexpired
term, thus making Walton the candidate
for past chancellor honors at the end of
this year. The arrangement meets with
the cordial support of all the members
of the lodge, In view of the fact that
Mr.. Dunlap forfeits no honor, having at
tanned the rank of past chancellor last
January
During the year Marathon lodge has
added about sixty well known local men
to its membership, materially increased
its exchequer, purchased a new knight
rank raphernalla and installed in the
lodge room the finest electric lighting
system in California, If not in the entire
supreme domain.
These successes have inspired the MEM
bers to still greater efforts and the new
year promises to be the most SUCCESS
fuI in the history of this we'll known
lodge.
A special assembly OF company OF
the uniform rank is being held at Venice
today, the purpose of the assembly being
the monthly drill and shoot. A special
car conveyed the members to the sea-
shore yesterday afternoon. These shoot
ing events are features of great interest
to the boys of company 3 and some ex-
cellent scores have been made.

One of the visitors at Marathon lodge
Tuesday evening was Edward Patten of
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

and stated that he believed Los Angeles
the ideal center for woodcraft In the
state. He also said in speaking of the
good work done by the ordc., that for
the month just past the order would pay
out over sSoo.ooO to the families Of more
than $50 deceased members. who mad
passed into the great beyond during the
month of October He said also that the
treasury now contains more than $4,000. GOO
and that It was not in scrip. The order
has missed six assessments during the
past two years. and as each assessment
nets the order about si00o.000 II is easy
TO see that the order has given its mem-
bership the benefit of SS000.010 during that
period. The order now numbers upward
of 100000 members.
Mr. Talbot was loudly cheered al the
end of his speech. The band. which
played several selections during the even
Ing, wound up the occasion by playing
that beautiful old song. Home, Sweet
Home" during the strains Of which the
crowd fled out into the night. each
Woodman more than satisfied with the
class adoption from every standpoint.

The organization of knight rank team
that should take part in the contests for
the silver trophy was one Of the features
of a progressive campaign of Pythian eff
fort, which necessitated many personal
sacrifices of time and inclination. These
efforts have resulted in the creation of
team which has so far defeated all COM
petitors in Los Angeles city and county,
and which team now holds the record for
the highest marking SO far attempted by
any of those entered
The final contest will take place before

of the contest which is to take place to-

At the last meeting OF The executive

Parks, d. D., who for IA years was
professor OF systematic theology in
Cannon Theological Seminary, was
appointed professor OF Greek in How

line OF work will fit man to teach
Greek. Systematic theology is that
branch OF theology OF which the aim
to reduce all revealed truth to a
series Of statements that together
shall constitute an organized whole Z"

temauc theology consists in the pre-
sentation in their logical and orderly
arrangement the truths which treat
OF the existence, character and at

who has devoted the greater part OF

done his duty. is unfit at the age OF
sixty to become competent professor
OF Greek. In this connection, It Is

The Objectionable sentence in the
address to the country asked for edu.
cation for our youth equal to that
given to other youth with the same
conditions and needs. There are no
other youths with the same cOndi-
tions and needs; therefore, this sen

cation for colored youth than that
given white youth. This is Infamous,
and whoever put that line into that
otherwise admirable address is unfit
