Biographical or Historical Information

"The Order of the 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."
