The local lodge Knights of Pythias htfld their annual memorial services Sunday afternoon, according to their cuatoin. The time of Damon and Pythias datos back many hundred years and the lesson wuich had its origin in the actual life of these two preat characters has been a wonder ful tribute to mankind through all the ages. It Is today one of the greatest teachings to bo found any where. "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you." This is why some 800,01)0 members are en rolled under the banner of this groat order in the United States. H. K. Jope delivered the memorial address, he being a member of the order for many years, and spoke ably of the beneficial workings of the KniglUsj vnd to be sure he planted many very impressive thoughts in the minds of his listen ers. Like a minister he took a text and used the above mentioned "Do unto others as you 'would .that ithey should do unto you". The gather ing of tho brothers upon this occas ion he said was one that showed their feeling man to man, their friendship for the departed as well as for the living. He said it was not always the iperson that furnished the idea that made tho most out of it. but those who lived up to the ideal bore as much credit and some times more than the originator of the idea. Among the good deeds that we do, none stnnd out quite so clear and distinct as the acts of our lives in following out the idea of doing as we would be done by. This is why the members gather once a year to pay tribute to the departed brothers. Their memory for the ones who were once with s, show that as we pass one by -- Hiat we shall be remem bered accordingly as we have lived. During the earthquake in Califor nia the Knights of Pythias was the first order to send aid to tho suffer ing. They sent aid to the amount of $4000, and the first lodge to send part of this amount was Alpha lodge No. 47, of Roseburir, Ore. The ki fat ness of the order Is not known by Its numbers it is the deeds that count in this world, and the good tnat is found in the teachings of the Knights of Pythias is a glowing trib ute to the world today. The services were carried out ac cording to the ritual on this occas ion, and under the able supervision of C. F. Hopkins. The music on this memorial occasion will long be remembered as being In perfect l.ir niony with the other numbers. Two most pleasing selections were render I . , Ohio Supreme Court be in Roseburg ed by Mrs. Chas. A. Brand, with Mrs. Nadine Suepard accompanying, and another fine solo was rendered by Leon McClintock, Mrs. Shepard ac companying. The Knights will always have a warm spot In their hearts for this assistance and words cannot express their appreciation for It. The cere monies were ended by the Knights marching to the I. O. O. F. ceme tery and decorating tho graves of their deceased members'. LETTERS OF ORPET ARE ADMITTED WA UK EG AN, June 21.
