Jlaya, 1874-w8 ' ' Pythian Knighthood. A Lecture delivered by W. M. Rapsiieu, Esq., of Le highton, at a number of Pythian Hall Dedications and other occasions in var ious parts of the State. CONCi UDED FUOU LAtf WEEK. 3 The Knights of Pythias have u spe cial work of the noblest cnarity and be nevolence to perform. They assume the duly to aid and succor the Widows and Orphans of tlHr departed brelhern. nntl to assist and uneourag- tll thtlr members In times of danger aud tljslress; to smooth 'and beautify the rugged and deviating paths of Hie; to make life sweet to live, mid to be, in the hour of death, fearless and lently to die. And remember that all virtues and moral qualities, to be Interesting or beautiful, must grow Iroiu within. The poorest virtue that a man develops genuinely within himself, like a Mower In n cot tage window, is better than that which is Imparted and artificial. For each ouu must, alter all, live his own lire and work nut his own d sliny. Each has his own ?bletu, and In Its d tailed solution no one can directly aid. No example is over preel o'y applicable, and nothing but the spirit of another's good deed can help yours. The daisy, in developing as a daisy, can derive no direct counsel Iroic a rose. The humb lest blossom must uutuM by Its own laws, arid all that it lias In common with the rose is the general Uv of growth. Nrglect these luward )owers, cease to be yourself, cultivate eeconUaiy virtues, and when yuu most need strength you will tind only a habit of dependence In lis place. We have too much of what may he termed sentimental goodness. Oursentiiueii tally good peopinare harm less enough, but lliey ure almost wholly lacking In the true virtue. There Is u good Saxon word which represents a good Saxon qualiiy, which ought to bo imported Into the moral world. That word is pluck. Public opinion iscowaid ly; it lacks pluck. In the stress nf an emergency, lu the lace of danger, it does nut dare to say its soul Is Its own'. It will again and again, wh a it is tempted, bell out to Summon, to power and prestige, and opposition. And private opinion is often mute timorous even tlmu public opinion. It is npt Usmi the leust threat to burreiuli'r to popuhnity thut wh'cli is must precious and worth preserving, and which Itought to defend ut all hazards. This absence of the chivalrous and heroic spirit, from our public und private opinion, is tlio terilule curse of American civilization Tliu.true P.ithluu mission is to bring about, more robust vhtues; we want Ju-tico to light down injustice, stern integrity to put lis loot on meanness nnu. hypocrisy, mid lion-Iicartediiess to meet till the host-of evil und wring ami dilvc them to utter rout. Sentimental goodne-B will nut do it; it will never make Hue kidghts. It lias a very ami able disposition towards the right. It bay a with u,su,wt smile, "How right Is right, how good is good, how true Is truth." "Ah; yes, thebu ought to lie eucuuiaged," Hut It will not take its stand by these and defend them when they are attacked by prejudice and big otiy, by unlalrness and injustice. It will not sutler lor them, ad sacrifice lor theui, aud work for them, and spend money lor llieiu. It Is the lirat tu ne0 when they need its help. It would sell out, as Juttas sold Ins master, to those who bid highest lor them. The true kulghtliood we hope for will have loice In it as well us sweetness; It will be plucky as well as amiable. It will know the tight and, knowing, will dare maintain it. It will take Its standi on principle aud never denart from it: aud should any power or lutluenueupproucli to tempt it to do bo, It will say to it with firm-set will, "Get thee behind' me, batan." u will never teek to conciliate anybody by refraining to nay or do that which ought to be bald and done; and it will never be gulity of a compromise which has to be i Heeled at tiro least ex pense or truth aud light. It is Ignoble and paltry to us to think of the price we ate going to be paid, tor luli.gtrue and virtuous, aud to say lu effect that we will not venture (Ui the thorny and dangerous road of duty, unless we can have a Havener's Insurance, that we bliall bo Indemnified for every luishap. This Is Ui reduce murality to a mere mercantile standard, und to make of the high (rain-actions between Consci ence and the .Moral Law a mere bargain and consideration of what to give and take. We have no right, ns true Knights, when duty presents Itself to us und commapds uurubedtuuee, to ask. Is it eare to obey shall we be likely to succeed If wo do this shall we please man by this course,, and be sure to get our reward somehow sometime ? The only question we have any business to entertain Is, what Is right what Is tru ly good wl-at does duty require of us under the circumstances? And when we have settled these questions, tiieti It Is our only and Immediate, aud most noble concern to go I or want In the path of right, to do our duty raithfully, to be loj a unto the Inspiring Voice that cads oil us, from withliil It would be well for society aud humanity II these prin ciples an,i the spirit of our Order, were accepted and adhered to by ull meu; human nature would .become brtter, mote free, more exalted, more wise, and mure happy. To strive for tills, Is to ba truly a Knight of Pythias, and we may bo sure that nowhere until theie great truths shino upon n so clpsrly ai whpn we are walking In the way of duly nud persevering to do good. We want mrre determination, pur pmp and pluck, to bring about that wished for Jlllennlnin when "tlib true, the good and the beautiful" shall sub limely reln. History U over replete with Instructive lessons and as an In teresting effort by a Ion" course of toll some discipline, af perseverance and of pluck, I call your attention lor a mo ment o the hljlory of the Crusades: Jerusalem and other localities In Pal estine were regarded sa-jred ami hal lowed, and In iheearly ages pilgrimages thllher were common', out towards the close of the tenth century they had In creased to overwhelming proportions, In consequence of the terror, then enter tained of the approaching end of the world. The Idea arose it seems, ftom an iuteipretation given ti the 12tli Chapter of Apocalypse. It was then set f orth, that alter t he lapse of a thou sand years,' Satan would be let loose to deceive the nations, nnd to gather them together to battle against the holy city. Rut the year 1000, that dreaded epoch, passed by; yet the current of pilgrimage Mill continued to How towards the East. In theseveth rentury Turks obtained possession of Palestine, and tills wild nice of S.iracen conquerors, subjected the pilgrims of Jerusalem to every soecies of extortion and. outraee; and tlio returning pilgrims spread through all the countries of Europe indignation and horror, by the pathetic titles which they related, of the injuries nnd insults which they had suffered from the infi dels, as they called them, lmong others, Peter the Hermit, who was afterwards engaged in the first regular crusade, returning from a pilgrimage to Palestine complained In loud terms of these grievances and began to preach In glowing language the duty of the Christian world tu unite in expelling the Infidels from the patrimony of the Savior. The project was seconded by, and zealously engaged in, by the peo ple, Bishops, Kings and Pope and a large baud of all ages and professions was soon in motion towards Palestine. This force was utisucct sdiil; but when we n tlect that the loss of the crusaders I n tills first adventure is estimated at 300, 000 men, we Justly conclude that Its failure vas not lor the want of valor. After this loss the crusaders again uni ted their forces in Asia Minor mid the. number of their fighting men, without Including those who did not curry anus, was 000,000, and of these alone the number of Knights was 200,000. The expedition pressed on, encountering ".numerable battles, trials and difficul ties without murmuring, until Jerusa lem was wrested from the hands of the infidels; the great object ot the expedi tion was accomplished, and the Insti tutions of Europe were Introduced Into Palestine lu all their vigor. The period between tlio first and sec ond crusade is a remarkably interesting opoch in the history of Knighthood, became of tlio rise, at Jerusalem, of two or the ruii-t distinguished Orders of Knt.'hu-the Ho-pltallers aud the Red Cioss Knights or Templais. Tlio valor in Dom Uitters uecamtt noted; it is said that the Hospitallers ever burned a Unlit during the night, that they might always be prepared against the enemy; and that any Templar, on bearing the cry "to arms" would have been assum ed to ask the- number of the enemyl Tlie only question was, "where ato they?" Other ciu-ades followed the first great movement, and all were ex cited by some Impending calamity to Pale-llnb, Forty-eight years'alter the conquest of Jerusalem, tlie loss of the principal Christian fortresses In Pales tine, led to a second crusade, and forty yturs afler tlie second, Jerusalem was taken by Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt. The lo-sof tle holy cty tilled all Europe with consternation and the third expe dition was fitted out for its recovery. This as well as the crusades following it were without any percepUble advan tage to Palestine anil afler a long, tedi ous and trying struggle tlie lost vestigd or christian power lu Syila was swept away. Tlie crusades had occupied a peilod of nearly two centuries and had led two millions of Europeans to tin J their graves in Eastern hinds, so enthu siastic and courageous was the bpilit which prompted them. Strip the crusades of tlio bigotry, rupeibtitlou, nud fanaticism with which they were deeply tlin.u.l, aud th.re yet remains one of the most forcible and prominent examples in history of dis interested, devoted, selt-sacrlficlug aud hemic bravery. The Knlunu of Pythias or the 19th century are also enlisting nnd concen trating their forces for a grand crusade In the. mural and Intellectual world, to resuscitate and cultivate the sublime Ira very, tlie undaunted spirit, and Mgh mural qualities, which Damon and our revered Pythias practically taught tlie world more then 2,000 years ago, which will adorn hl.tury's pages and benefit humanity lung alter diplomacy, blood shed and war are forgotten. Who Is brave enough tbjoln theiulu their glori ous work? The morality and .spirit of our time seem to havo great timidity mingled with them, almost cowardice in fact, aud inueti of the mercenary spirit. I wuuld they cuuhi be mtde more magnanimous, more heroic, more knUhtly, more dis tinguished. I would that more ot (he true Pythian quality might be infused into them; that men might coma to feel that this life Is a buttln ir.mnd. a irlurl. ous warfare tor truth and right, and that, as kulghu under this banner we are called to perform deeds ot great, eelf.sacrlDce and daring, unlntlueuced In the lpat by tlio ordinary considera tions of safety, ease, quiet, popularity, and reward, -that In short our only duty Is to obey orders ns they come to ns from headquarters of Conscience and the Moral Sense; that wo might be able' as true knightly soldiers of truth and right, .to take, If need bo, our Mngle blanket nnd canteen nnd bivouac on tlio field of II fo making the rock nf trial our pillow miking the night ot dis aster our pavilion of safety and repose, having our trust in nothing less than supprlor virtue; willing to stay or much, to endure or do,, to engage alone or witli a host, determined only that we wilt acquit ourselves manfully and well so Ion r as lire shall last. Such then, briefly told, Is theorlgln, growth, and mission of the Drderotthu Knights of Pythias, such is Its founda tion, and such are Its principles. Its mis-Ion Is glorious, nnd much good can be accomplished throuuh Us instrumen tality Let It then be our chief aim and ambition to live up to it; to elevate odr Order to that high niche In the Pythian Temple, willed Its greatness and prin ciples demand. So that It will beacredlt, an honor, mid a worthy ambition for any man, licit or poor, to be able to toy, I am a Knight of Pythias.

The first one going to the place where he heard the cries, with a Mr. McKeevpr, discovered the body of the poor girl cold and stiff with the gashes upon her head nnd a pool ot blotxl beside her.
