and of the origin and progress of the
order of Knights of Pythias The lee
ture was given in the First Christian
church.. which was filled with members
and prospective smembers of the order,
and their friends
The lecture was at once a source of
pleasure and profit and to the members
of the order had fine educational value,
as il was Illustrated by stereopticon
views, many of them secured by Mr..
Penniman in his travels through ancient
Greece and lower Europe, in and around
the scenes where the immortal drama of
Damon and Pythias was enacted. The
towers and citadels of ancient Syracuse
and the distant home by the sea" Were
among the pictures shown and many
other secenes of great interest to the
''neophyte" as well as to the members
of the order.
At the conclusion of the scenes dealing
with the story that has come down the
mist of centuries" the lecturer gave a
most interesting account of the order
from it's inception to the present time.
Many interesting pictures of historical
value to the order We're shown and
photographs of those past and present
who figured prominently in the order
