many cases seemed impending death.

Revenue cutters on the Pacific
coast, penetrating the frigid waters OF
Alaska, brought back tales of suffering
among the natives of the AIeutian
Islands, in the grasp Of poverty and
disease, creating conditions, 1t is de-
clared, demanding the attention and
action Of the federal government.
Vessels, cargoes and derelicts saved

From DR.. ]. w. Whitfield:
We desire to state through the
columns of your very highly appre-
ciated and newsy paper that the
Knights of Pythias in this section
are forging to the front in the Boos-
ter Boom Endeavor to add ten thou
sand new members to the roster of
the grand jurisdiction of Tennessee.
We wish to assure the brethren and
people of West Tennessee that Middle
Tennessee will certainly come up in
the Grand Lodge in Nashville on the
second Tuesday in July with our part
of the membership desired.
The flower of the young manhood
of our race is now taking advantage
of the Booster Boom rates to connect
themsslve with this magnificent and
worldwide order, Knights of Pythias
N. A., S. A., F., A, A., & A. We arc
very much gratifed to note that in
creased interest for the Uniform
Ranks by our young Knights is
evinced by calls from many places for
organization of companies.
b CanSler Lodge NO. LIZ, OF Murlrees-
boro, is putting forth strenuous effort
to have a company of the Uniform
Rank to report to the Grand Lodge at
its next convention. The initiation
team of Cansler Lodge No. 122 will
assist us in setting up new lodge at
Emery Chapel next Monday night.
1t is a great source of pleasure to us
to observe that the loyal men and
women of the lodge and the Court
of Calanthe are pulling together as
one to place our beloved order in the
rank where it so rightfully belongs
as one of the foremost fraternal or
ders known and fostered by the Negro
race, largely due to the credit of DR..

I imposing masqueraders, to prey upon
and dupe the people and lead astray.
The wonder is rather that there have
not been more of this kind of thing
done. The soothing and helpful
thought in this connection is that the
orders and organizations that deserved
to do so have survived and by their
honesty and worthiness proved the
dishonesty and unworthiness of those
that did not so deserve. The survi
val of the fittest.
In the roll of such societies as have
grown and spread whether the weather
was foul or fair, whether all was dis
content and gloom or song and sun
shine, the Knights of Pythias may
we'll answer first. A mighty order in
this day; its virtues first upon the
lips of men, its principles an inspir-
ing force in the life of those who
have embraced it's faith. Father
Stringer laid the foundation deep; he
dug well. The superstructure has
tottered no few times but it has not
fallen because it was builded upon a
rock.
The Knights of Pythias have develop
ed into a wealthy and powerful or
der, though it began as fraternal
and benevolent institution. In fact
its foundation will ever be fraternal
and benevolent Whatever eminence
it may reach or whatever honors it
may win it must still remain first a
benevolent institution. In that we
glory.
When Edmund Burk made the
statement in the British House of
Commons that "the age of Chivalry
is past" his declaration has utterly
untrue. 1t was indeed an age of Chi
valry when the Fraternities of Hos
pittalers and the Templars and the
/ Teutonic Knights were established
having for their object the care of
the sick and wounded crusaders, the
entertainment of Christian pilgrims,
the guarding of the holy places and
ceaseless battling for the cross. Car.
rying out these rightly formed pur
poses, these fraternities soon acquired
military fame that was spread
throughout the Christian world.
But the age of Chivalry has not
passed. The age of Chivalry will
never pass so long as men can be
found who will live up to the obi
cations of Pythianism. AS knights
of Pythias we can make this twentieth
century just as much an age of Chi
valry as the century which gave tt
the world a Tancred, or a Godfrey
de Bouillion, the most valiant ant
devoted of the crusader Knights. L
is being done today by the thousand!
of good men and women in our ranks
Shall | tell you how?
wherever a mantle of pity falls sof
upon a wound of woe,
Wherever a peace or pardon spring
up to overmaster a foe,
Wherever a soft hand of blessing out
stretches to succor a need,
Men are showing the jewels of tn
order and are Chivalric indeed
