X NIGHTS OF PYTHtAS TAKE AID
VANCED STEP IN REDUCING
MINIM y NJ AGE LIMIT FOR
MEMBERSHIP TO ElGH-
TEEN YEARS
TEEN YEARS

In conformity with its general pro
gram and policy Of expansion by which
1T is proposed to carry the principles
Of the order into new fields Of Pyth-
ian cndeavor, the Knights Of Pythias
ut the recent biennial convention Of
it's Supreme Lodge 9t Minneapolis
adopted an amendment to its organic
law reducing the minimum age limit
Of membership in the order from q
to l8 years, the effect of which will
be to open the door of fraternal hope
to thousands Of youths in the land
whose hearts have felt the touch OF
human sympathy and who long to en-
list under the banner of brotherhood
achievement.
Since the order was founded, mem
hershp has been restricted to white
male persons not less than y years
of age and under so, except that per
sons over so might be accepted as
members by dispositions. But out
Of the great world war many lessons
came of u nature calculated to change
the old order of things, not the least
of which was the idea born OF the
tremendous struggle and was partlcl-
pated in by the best blood Of the
nations young manhood that youths
Of Is, 10 and 20 years Of age are fully
capable of meeting responsibilities
and discharging life's obligations Wth
a fidelity equal to those OF fe" years
their senior. The alacrity with which
the Younger boys of the nation sprang
to arms at the call of country in de-
fense of it's honor and for the preser-
walton of it's institutions affords neon
trovestable proof that one does not
necessarily have to be OF legal age in
Imperial Valley press., 1920-09-20

order to be Of real service in times of
stress and need.
Inspired by thoughts Of service per
formed and sacrifices made by the
boys Of the land and being deeply
sensible to the conviction that if a
boy of Is years is man enough. strong
enough and patriGtic enough to serve
his country in time Of war, he is COM
petont physically, mentally and tenn
raramentally to participate in the set
tlement Of the problems of peace that
came to us as a heritage of the
war in which he fought"
The knights Of Pythias in common
with others fraternal organizations are
not unmindful of the obligations the
duties Of the hour impose. 1t pro-
poses to perform its share in the
great work of reconstruction and re
habilitation, that civilization may
speedily recover from the shock to
which it was subjected and that the
blessings Of peace, softened by sentl-
manent Of fraternal love may find per
manent abiding place in the hearts
of men. And in this magnificent
endeavor it has invited boys and men
of 18 years and over to enlist under
the tricolored banner Of Pythian
Knighthood in the movement designed
make the world brighter and happier.
