SUMNER W. ARMSTRONG. C. C. Gardner Lodge, No, 46. REV. Made Jubilee JQSEPH F. COBE. Address. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS’ GOLDENJUBILEE Fiftieth Anniversary of Founding of the Order Celebrated by Norwich Lodges—Grand Officers and Delegations From Surrounding Towns Present. e The golden jubilee celebration of the Knigats of Pythias conducted jointly | by Wauregan lodge, No. 6, and Gard- ner lodge, No. 46, in Pythian hall Fri- | day evening, brought together an as- semblage of over 200 members and friends of the organization. In the notable gathering were Knights of Pythias from New London, Williman- | tic, Jewett City, Mystic and Colches- ter. This celebration of the Pythian organization was probably the most important Pythian gathering of its kind ever held in eastern Connecti cut. Wiiliam Blackburn, chairman of the committee of arrangements, called the assemblage to order shortly before § | o'clock, after which Judge Nelson J. Avling took the chair. The first num l ber on the programme was a selection | by Ethier's orchestra. The chairma announced that owing to the length o the programme and inasmuch as a| number of those attending had to | leave at 11.45 o'clock on the special | cars, the time allowed the majority of | speakers was limitgd to five minutes, %0 that all would b able to enjoy the | sociai hour which followed the pro- gramme. ' Mayor Murphy Extends Welcome. Chairman _Ayling then introduced Mayor Timothy C. Murphy as the first speaker. Mayor Murphy in his ad- dress extended a hearty welcome to the invited gues: He said isn't often that a mayor is called upon to speak at a golden jubilee of this kind. He plimented the organ tion on the remarkable and worthy worl t is doing and in _concluding said he hope the Pythian body would have as pros. perous a future as its past had been. A selection on an Edison phono- graph operated by a represent the Porteous & Mitchell company then heard. was | der since its foun as The giof t ve of er and nobler ac cessity of subordination to lawful will and authority. What has it done? It has built a new temple, erected a new altar—a temple dedicated to universal friend- ship, an aitar at which humanity may kneel. A sanctuary where brethren may seek refuge from the storms and strife of human passion. Its religion holds itself aloof from the separate créeds but embodies the belief in God and the practice of friendship, charity and benevolence. At present th principles are taught and practiced to a de- gree at least in seven thousand cities, towns and villages on the American continent. This organization is_char- tered by the congress of the United States. "It is estimated that more than vo million men have taken the obli- tion and been initiated into the or- ion 50 years ago. ot only have these vast numbers of men been gathered into membership but millions of doilars have been ex- pended in buildings, great structures, and in charit For years the order has given relief in times of c like the great Chicago fire of 1% yellow fever epidemic in Tenne: Pythian Sisters. An important feature of Pythian work is an organization made up of wives, mothers, ers and daughters of members of the order, and known Pythian Siste; Thus have we briefly told something of the his- tory, origin, purpose and achievements e order of Knights of Pythias whmo 50th anniversary falls on the 9th day of this month, finding the :rder hale and hearty, ready for great- ievements in the next fifty years. Rev. Mr. Cobb concluded his ad- | dress amidst a burst of applause. Addresse by Rev. Mr. Cobb. Rev. Joseph F. Cobb, pastor of the Church of the Good Shepherd, was in- troduced as the next speaker by Chaf vitation to the members to Invited to Church Service.
