BIG Event

Payette lodge Knights Of Pythias
7 fittingiy observed the Sixtieth or
Diamond anniversary of the Order
OF Knights of Pythias, in accordance
Z with the program furnished by the
Supreme Lodge. The attendance
was even better than had been e1-
pected. A number out OF town
members were present including
those from Emmett, New Plymouth
and Fruitland IL was pleasure to
note the number of ladies present,
indicating the interest the ladies are
taking in Pythianism, or what Pyth-
ianism stands for: namely, Friend
ship, Charity and Benevolence.
The meeting was called to order
ty Chancellor Commandy, Calvin
Keller, and the program arranged
for the officers was carried out in a
manner creditable to each officer
participating. Lest we forget" the
Keeper of Records and Seal, read the
date of the institution of the lodge,
and the names of the charter mem
bers. After a short reading on
Friendship, by the Vice Chancellor,
A. L. Freehafer made splendid
short address on Friendship. The
Prelate gave a short reading on
Charity, after which Rev. Thos. Ash
worth delivered a beautiful and in
spring address on Charity. A read ,
ing was then given by the Master
of work on Beneyolence. to which /
Rev. Todd of Fruitland, responded 4
with q masterful address on Beneyc.
lence. The Master at Arms, then
stated in a few brief words the duty
of knight of Pythias to his coun-
try" Professor ]. E. Turner wa.
to appear on the program at this
point with an address on Patriotism !
but owing to the fact he had to
leave on No. IS that night. he was
unable to be present. However, he
prepared an exceptionally good paper
on that subject, and Rev. Ashworth
read the paper: to say il was well
received, is putting il mildly.
Mr.. Bert Venable, one of the oldest
knights in the state, was called on
and made a fine, extemporaneous
talk on Pythianism. Then, after a
few remarks by the Chancellor Com
mander, the meeting was dismissed.
but everybody was requested to re-
main in their places while members
Of the lodge served them with coffee
and sandwiches A very pleasant So
cial hour was had after which all :
present departed for home feeling

,ess in every way, and all glad to
