KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs TURN OUT

The Knights of Pythias to the num-
ber of 100 with 60 ladies. were pres
ent at the Peoples Presbyterian
church on last Sunday afternoon, that
being the occasion of their annual
Thanksgiving sermon. The knights
were assembled in three lodges, the
ladies in three courts, all led by the
Uniform Rank under command of
Capt. Thos. Douglas. The National
Guard band furnished music. 1t was
a brave array they made with the red
plumes and glistening swords of the
Aetna company leading the van.
Their evolutions were much COM
mented upon by the spectators along
the route The program was lengthy,
containing addresses by DR.. S. A. HUFF,
grand chancellor. DR.. Westbrook and
the preacher of the day, Rev. HAZEL.
The sermon of the last was a treat,
especially to the order. 1t was replete
with allusions to the duty and beau
ties of knighthood, as well as por-
traying beautifully the origin of the
order But the speaker was not con-
tent with simply preaching a sermon
based upon the order, but went fur
ther and made the occasion an oppor-
tunity to speak for God. The advice,
the gospel and the lesson made a won
derful trilogy and won for Rev. HAZEL
the grateful praise of the order and
congregation. W. c. Blackwell of
Progress lodge No. IL was the Chan
cellor Commander acting for the day.
The ladies were represented on the
program by Mrs. Dan Williams. who
is the state deputy Their greatly in
creased number and excellent appear
