Damascus Lodge No. 445, Knights of Pythias

Damascus Lodge No. 445, Knights of Pythias Our Lodge, like the Order of Knights of Pythias itself, rests on the ever-recurring needs of man as a social being.

Damascus Lodge No. 445, Knights of Pythias, is dedicated to exemplifying the principles of Friendship, Charity, and Benevolence in the Emporia, Kansas, area and beyond. It has beneath it, therefore, a permanent foundation. Resting on this bottom rock, it has a reason for existing as mighty and lasting as the nature of man himself. It has but to be true to itself , keep steadily to the truth which

gave it birth, to take and hold its place among the mankind-building and mankind-helping institutions of all future time. The Order of Knights of Pythias is an organized check on the growing selfishness of our times, and Damascus Lodge No. 445 is an organized opportunity for the development of mutual faith and goodwill as a ground for a more real, restful, and beneficial social life for Emporia and the surrounding community.

President Abraham Lincoln, being advised of the contents of the ritual and its teaching, said: "The purposes of your organization are most wonderful. If we could but bring its spirit to all our citizenry, what a wonderful thing it would be. It breathes the spirit of Friendship, Charity and Benevolence. It is one of the best agencies conceived for the upholding of government, honoring the flag, for the reuniting of our brethren of the North and of the South, for teaching the people to love one another, and portraying the sanctity of the home and loved ones. I would suggest that these great principles by perpetuated and that you go to the Congress of the United States and ask for a charter, and so organize on a great scale throughout this nation, and disseminate this wonderful work that you have so nobly started. I will do all in my power to assist you in this application and with your work."
