Being seated, the program began by
preme Deputy Morris. giving the his
torical, beneficial and moral scope of
the order, which was delivered in a
manner interesting and instructive to
all who heard him. He made statist-
ical reference to the amount of work
that is being done by this organiza-
tion, four lodges, three courts, one be.
ing made last week, and showed that
their progress was the result of en-
ergy, endeavor, ability, which had
been combined under the divine prin-
ciples of the order. Then came a Sc
lection by the choir, and scripture
reading by Rev. Mcdonald, pastor.
One Of the musical hits of the program
was a soprano solo by Mrs. James
Ford, "The Song That the Angels
Sang" which was rendered in every
way creditable and appropriate. The
choir then sang the anthem praise
the Lord" and the volume and har-
mony was very effective and the Sir
Knights should feel that they had
been given utmost consideration so far
as the musical program was concern
ed. Then the pastor, Rev. E. H. Nc
Donald, began his servon, selecting his
theme from Saml I, 18 chapter, 1st
verse.
He spoke of he implicit faith ex-
listing between David and Jonathan,
and gave note to the fac that the
knights assembled before him were
representatives Of a class, who had
not lived only in hopes of further en-
joyment or reward, but they had made
a record on earth and set an example.
Also stating that the time had passed
when we expected that We were not
to enjoy any of the blessings of this
world, but were now living in an age
where conditions were different. The
sermon was Of great interest, and the
speaker, who has that magnetism,
through his eloquence and judgment,
which attracts the attention of his he
roes ,and holds them as If under a
spell. And those who were fortunate
enough to hear him have given voice
10 tneir sentiments In words OF praise.
Mrs. H. c. Minor, the Northern
Nightingale, rendered one of her ex-
qusitely charming solos. A collection
was taken up, the amount being nearly
$40, for the church$1O, and $3.50 and
the pastors donation. They then
marched and after the doxology, they
were photographed nhe church steps
by Messrs. Cotton and Harris, colored
photographers of st. Paul. After few
maneuvers the rank and file disbanded
and went home. Surely the Pythians
did honor to their race on Sunday last
in st. Paul, and the "Star" is glad to
mention it.-Editor,
