ay) ) Dwight Harrelson Memorial Lodge Anmights of Pythias A LEADER The Order of Knights of Pythias was the first fraternal order to receive a charter from the United States Government under a special act of Congress. It was the first to require that the flag of the country should be displayed and saluted in our castle halls. It was the first to start to raise a fund for our soldiers and their dependents in the great World War. It was the first to purchase Liberty Bonds. it was the first to open its doors to boys eighteen years of age. !t was the first fraternal order to say that its ritual could be printed only in the English language. The Order of Knights of Pythias OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES Pythian knighthood had its conception in the exemplifi- cation of the life test of true friendship existing between Damon and Pythias. Friendship, or mutual confidence, being the strongest bond of union between man and man, and only existing where honor has an abiding place, is adopted as a foundation principle. As the ideal knight of olden time was the personification of all the higher and nobler attributes of man’s nature, the candidite for knighthood had to prove himself worthy of ac- ceptance by those who valued friendship, bravery, honor, justice and loyalty. The Order of Knights of Pythias—founded in Friendship, Charity and Benevolence, which it proclaims as its cardinal! principles—strives to gather into one mighty fraternity worthy men who appreciate the true meaning of friendship; who are cautious in word and act; who love truth; who are brave in defending right; whose honor is untarnished; whose sense of justice will prevent, to the best of their ability, a personal act Or word injurious to the worthy; whose loyalty to principle, to family, to friends, to their country and to the constituted authority under which they enjoy citizenship is undoubted; and who, at all times, are prepared to do unto others as they would that others should do unto them. 203
