Apparently there were three reasons. The

the one hand he was never happier than when
occupied with study which required quletness
and freedom from any interruption ON tho
other hand he suffered from peculiar form
OF Indigestion which often made him am un

Order of Knights

SEES NEED OF INCREASED
MEMBERSHIP
By ]. A. COwan

by }. A. COwan
Has the day of the fraternal or
der passed? No, it has not and
the need for fraternal institutions
was never greater than now. Does
the young man care for them?
If he does not that fact gives
greater emphasis for the need. 4,
Man is a fraternal being and
courts fellowship and association.
The Order of Knights of Pythias
stands in the front line with the
orders that are strictly fraternal
The fundamental principle Of this
order is brotherhood and it stands
for the highest type of citizen
ship that the community repres-
ents. 1t is not an insurance COM
pany, however it does give a death
benefit that increases with the
growth of the membership Of the
order. 1t is not an individual cor
poration operated for profit. Each
member whose beneficiaries enjoy
the profit, is stock holder whose
share grows as the contributions
are made.
