Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...four years later, when the governing body of the organization, the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the World, was created, to which grand lodges, governing bodies in the several States, were to be and have been subordinate.

The earlier growth of the order was slow, it numbering fewer than 7000 members in the first five years of its existence. From 1868 to 1880 lodges of the fraternity were established in rapidly growing numbers. In 1915 it had definite organization in every State in the Union and in point of numbers is the fourth largest secret society. Its castle halls are also found in the provinces of the Dominion of Canada, in the Panama Canal Zone, Hawaii, the Philippine Islands, Alaska, and Australia. Its total membership in-the United States and Canada is 729,044, the number of members elsewhere being small, the latest record placing that aggregate at 1420. In the United States more than one-third of the membership is found in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. The society has nine homes in as many States where its dependents, members and relatives, are cared for. More than 40 periodicals are published in its interest.

Members of the endowment branch have privileges similar to those enjoyed by all other members, in...
