 SOUTHERN ORDER
Gadsden Ceremonial Given Praise By Supreme
 Kniqht :.

The ceremonial session held by Fashoda. palace, Pilgrim Knights of Oriental Splendor, at Gadsden last Thursday was the best he ever at tended, was the statement made by c. o. Jacobs, supreme oriental knight, on his return from the Etowah city. MT. Jacobs headed a large delegation from Fesbam palace, Birmingham, who journeyed to Gadsden to take part in the ceremonial. Mir Jacobs states that they were royalty treated and that they had been much bene- fitted and instructed by the trip.
 Fashoda palace ranks next to Bir- mingham In point of numbers and has smooth rlSing organization. The several bodies within the palace are all functioning well, stated MT. Jacobs, and the work of the degree team was near perfect.
 Preceding the ceremonial a down town parade was staged. with the band and all uniformed bodies in full was served by the Rebekahs to the candidates and members and was much enjoyed. The class of candi- dates numbered nearly 100 and in- cluded some of the most prominent men in the qadsden district. A
 MT. Jacobs. who is head #of the order in the United States, spoke in- tereStlngly or the Pilgrim hnlgnts and the wonderful progress the order had made since it's reorganization in 1921. The Pilgrim Knights. which Is the fun branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, was organized In Atlanta in 1915. <but during the war period 1t lay dormant, until two years ago, when 1t was reorganized and commenced to function actively.
 While 1t is gradually spreading nation wide, it's activities at the present are largely in the southern states, palaces having been formed in nine states, with a number of appll- cations pending. MT. Jacobs states that indications are that in a few years wherever Odd Fellow lodges are located the palace will follow, as 1t is proving very popular with the order.
 Alabama has the distinction of having the three first officers of the supreme palace residing within its borders, c. 0. Jacobs of Birmingham, who Is supreme oriental knight; M. c. Sibley, supreme vice oriental knight, and Walter Archer, supreme oriental guide, both of Gadsden, James G. Davis Is oriental knight of Fesbam palacA Rirnnfnpharn

 The thought of his wealth, of the money that kept accumulating in the bank while he preached poverty and the abandonment of all temporal riches. became to Toistoy san obses- sion.
 Nc other text of tho Bible pursued him SO constantly as that one in which Christ bade the young man who would follow him to divide his possessions among the poor. The young man departed in sadness and gave up Christ.
 Tolstoy followed Christ burdened by his riches. But he knew he had disobeyed Christ's first command, and that he was enjoining that com mand on others without obeying it himself. He knew he was not a good disciple. His self-denials but added the crime of averice to the sin of hypocrisy.
 What prevented Tolstoy from mak- ing this last renunciation7 Was he really eevetous and avaricious? AS long as Tolstoy lived these questions involuntartly thrust themselves upon one. .-,-.-...
 Death has unveiled the mystery. Tolstoy was the victim of his wife and children. They prevented him from distributing his wealth among the poor and living as his conscience bade him. They prevented him from going forth into the world and fol- lowing the iifef of a wandering and mendicant apostle.
 Tolstoy was weak. He could not bring himself to break with his family and lived under their sway. especially that of Sofia Andreevna, his wife.-Ricardo Baeza El Soil (Madrid).
