KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
Semi Centennial of Institution of First
Lodge to Be Universally Observed.

The Golden Jubilee" OF the Knights
of Pythas will be observed this coming
week in more than 1000 cities, towns
and villages in the United States and
Canada, and will commemorate the
semi-centennial of the institution of
of the first lodge OF an organi-
zation whose career and progress
has been the marvel of the worlds
greatest ''fraternal age"
Teaching lessons which inspire man
mood ct its highest and best, to nobler
efforts in making the world brighter
and better. the development of the
spirit of Fraternity among men, has
been one of the most significant of the
marvellous achievements that have
signalized world-progress; and in the
broad field of fraternal endeavor, oc-
cupied by more than 5000 different
organizations. whose out-reach OF in
fiuence is so wide as to include one man
in every three on the continent, no
society or organization laurelled with
grander achievements than the Order
of Knights of Pythias, which in period
OF half century, has grown from a
single lodge of thirteen government
clerks, instituted in Washington Feb
ruarY 49, 1864, to a continent-wide
fraternity with nearly 10000 men in
more than 1900 lodges, making it the
third largest society of its kind in the
Western Hemisphere.
The Order of Knights of Pythias had
its conception in the dramatic a and
thrilling story of the friendship of two
thagoreans-Damon and Pythias. in
Syracuse, Cicily, during the reign of
Dionysius the elder, 400 B. C.
A young schoomaster. Justis Henry
Rathbone, read the story in the drama
of John Banin. an Irish litterateur. who
put the incident into dramatic form in
1921 Young Rathbone was so impressed
with the story that when he moved to
Washington in the latter part of '63 to
become a government clerk, he resolv-
ed to write the ritual of new fellow
ship and base it on the friendship of
of Damon and Fythias. This was during
the crises period in the nations life;
the Civil War had been in progress for
nearly three years. and there was
great need of new alignment of the
brotherhood of man. Rathbone, on
Feb uary IL, 1864, read his ritual to
four fellow clerks, and they were so
/ impressed with its value that another
meeting followed four days later with
Is government clerks present At =
meeting, in Temperance Hall, WashiI
ton Lodge, No. /, Knights of Pythias,
was institute and new chivalric force
was projected into the life of the nation.
OF the Original thirteen" two-Abra-
HON D. an Deryeer and Edward s.
Kimhall-are still hving and retain their
member ship in the Order.
1t was at first thought that the Order
should be confined to Washington, ard
its membership restricted to govern
ment clerks; but the principles it en-
unciated were needed elsewhere Z
Tie new society began to grow
a t the close of fifty years it is ex
in membership by only two
one centuries old and the other to
celebrate its centennial in this country.
Today there are 1900 lodges, and nearly
500, 600 men in the Order; and the
slogan is "a million members in our
