Ali day Saturday and until late
Sunday morning, knights coming to
the institution of Bismarck council
No. 1904, Knights of Columbus were
arriving at the state capital from
points in Minnesota, Montana, Can
ada. South Dakota, Wisconsin and y
1inois until the city was filled with
visitors-with enthusiastic, ardent
members Of the lodges in other cities
who desired to assist the Bismarck
members in starting on their way 10
a glorious success in lodgedom.
Fargo sent special train, Dickln'
son sent forty members with Father
Dignan at the head, Glendive and
Miles City, Mont, sent large deleea-
tions Minot and towns along the 500
line sent a goodly force, and Bismarck
itself turned out a large class OF can
didates for the meeting.
At 1O:3O O'Clock Sunday morning
the knights and candidates, 3Oo
strong, gathered at the Elks cluo
ROOMS and formed line OF marcn'
proceeding to St. Mary's church.
where solemn high mass was cele'
brated by Very Rev. Father Hiltner'
assisted by Father Dignan as deacon
and Father Cieslewicz as subdeacon.
Father Martin acting as master OF
ceremonies. The mass was ATTENDED
by the largest concourse OF kn1gnts
ever known in the history of the lodge
in this state. The choir, which rem
dered very sublime music, was higniy
commended for the excellence OF Its
selections.
The subject of the sermon by
Father Dignan was "The Good WORKS
to Be Accomplished by Knighthood.
In this sermon the father spoke very
feelingly of the tremendous amount
of good to be accomplished by eacn
knight and by the members OF the or
der collectively. He admonished the
KNIGHTS to live up to the high and
holy precepts of the order and make
it's symbol one of the greatest factors
for good that can be found. Eacn
knight was impressed with the great
charge that he held as member OF
the knighthood and when leaving the
church the weight of its charge could
be read in te faces of the visitors as
we'll as the candidates.
Reassembling at the Elks CLUB
rooms at 1 o'clock the large class was
ready when the work was commenced
The first and second degrees were ex'
emplified by the Dickinson team con-
81: ting of the following officers:
Frank Murtha, grand knight; H. L.
Reichert, deputy grand knight; Ed
ward Hughes. chancellor; John B.
Boulger, warden. And the third de-
gree was ex mplified by the Fargo
team under the general management
of Thomas D. Dunn, district deputy
From the commencement OF the
work until the last initiate had taken
his degrees the beautiful religious
and symbolic ceremonies were carried
through without q flaw and the new
members we're brought into full mem
bership and brotherhood OF the
Knights OF Columbus. Each one OF
the initiatory team in exemplifying
the work handled his part so we'll that
the services were carried out with
a precision and ease which made the
work of the initiation one that Will
long live in the annals OF the local
lodge.
At 8 O'Clock, after the conclusion OF
the work, the knights from other
lodxes and those who had just won
their spurs, marched to the banquet
hall at the armory. where over 800
KNIGHTS partook of one Of the most
euhstantial and splendid banquets
