KNIGHTS TEMPLAR TO
 HOLD XMAS CONCLAVE

Columbian Commandefy, Knights Templar will hold it's annual Christ mas celcIave at Masonic Temple on Christmas day at F noon On the stroke of 12 the Knights Christmas greeting will be offered. In part it is as follows:
 To the Most Eminent Grand Master:
 In this hour of greatest prosperity to our order, which it shares alike with our nation and it's people, let US not forget our pledge to defend and, if need be, to draw the sword in the de- fense of innocent nfaidens, helpless orphans, destitute widows and the Christian religion.
 To it the grand master sends the following response:
 Sir Knights:
 The toast is timely. It's sentiment is call and challenge to all humanity. The ancient Tenplar drew his sword as q symbol of sacrifice; and with it pledged his future, his fortune and his life.
 He purified his soul in the melting l pot of diversity, and met his downfall ! in the perils of prosperity. "A nation is as strong as the charac- acter of it's people," Prosperity is toe l often the real test of character I From the present pinnacle of na- ] tional opulence, which many think | threatens the safety of society may the Heavenly Father lead us back tc that safe and sane level where w may more often hear that world -olt l query: "An I my b-other's keeper?' l Fortunately. real happiness is no1 confined to what the world calls money makers. Those whose live. have brought the greatest blessings to humanity have rarely had time tt found a fortune.
 Some there are who have tried ana failed and tried again. I am not on,
 who believes that ficlIe Dame Oppor tunity comes but once.
 A son of Pennsylvania moved int the South and became a great captaii of industry. It was his freduen Iprayer: Lord. Thou has abundant, blessed me. pray that this may no
