These reports give a full, complete and detailed account of this relief fund, from what sources it came, the amount of each contribution and how the same has been handled and expended. Permit me to compliment you upon the splendid manner in which you'have prepared and presented these reports, which give so fully the history of the relief extended to the stricken brethren of California by the Order of Knights of Pythia's, as well as the faithful service you rendered in connection therewith. As soon as the news of the dreadful earthquake and fire at San Francisco, with the'repaort of the fearful conditions that followed, reached the outside world, the Pythian Or der acted'with that promptness and generosity that always has and always should mark this great fraternity. Hon. Charles E. Shiveley, Supreme Chancellor, at once saw the need for the exercise of. The principles of fraternity and was quick to act, to organize, to appeal for aid and to for ward the responses thereto, while the while Pythian Order, individually and as lodges, as quickly, as sympathetically and liberally responded to his call. The Order cannot give too great praise to Brother Shiveley for his promptness in acting, his efficiency in planning and his carefulness in dis hursing that which they so readily contributed.
