James Monrv Last Kveuillg. A delegation of fifty members of General Harrison Ludge No. 251, Knights of Pythias, last evening attended divluo servico in the Primitive Methodist church in a body and heard an able sermon by tho pastor. Iter. James Moore, who is n member of tho lodge connected with the order at Plymouth, Pa. i ho clergyman displayed an intelligent con ception of Pythiauisiu and during Ills discourse drew from it several striking similes. Tho text for the ser mon was taken from Prov. XVIII, 24 : "A man that hath friends must show himself fricudly ; and thero is a friend that Blicketli closer than a brother." And Prov. XVII, 1" : "A friend lovetli atall times, and a brother is born foradversity." liov. Moore spoke in commendable terms of the Knights of Pythias and said tho fact that their mem bership was but a small fraction shurt of 5uO,OU0 was suilicient ovidence of its stciling worth. Tho principles upon which it is founded, he said, had made Damon aud Pythias men who will be revered for all ages. The manhood they displayed in adark age, by asserting thoir rights as free citizens beforo a tyrant, and proving to tho tyrant that with intelligence and courago a friendship could be formed to compel even him to iccognirc a just and rightcutis apncal, had been taken as the keynote for many notable events in sub sequent liistoiy. Uev. .Moore dwelt upon the duty of members to attend tho lodge meet ings and also said that no man who attempts to join an organisation of the kind he was addressing for the purpose of feeding on the funds should bo allowed to cross the thresh hiild, mi the principal that "a man that hath friends must show himself friendly." The discourse was concluded with the hope I'll. it each member would aim to become closely identified with tho Knijlits of tho Crov, of Calvary as well as the Knights of Pythias During tho evening the choir, under tho loadcithip of Prof. Dlward Cooper, rendered sevural autheins selected especially for the occasion in a very cil'ectivo and pleasing manner. Upon tho clnso of the servico the pastor and members of tho congregation ex tended the hand of friendship to tho visitors. Itcautifiil white-back wall paper 5 cents a roll.
