Show GRAND GATHERING OF KNIGHTS; What will probably be the greatest and most enthusiastic assemblage of the Catholic laity ever held in the fair city of Ogden will be the gathering of the Knights of Columbus Sunday. A large number of Knights from Boise, Poca-tello Poca-tello and Salt Lake City Will be present to witness the conferring of the First and Second degrees on a class of forty-five candidates by the First and Second Degree Teams of Ogden Council and the exemplification of the Major Degree by the Worthy Territorial Deputy Supreme Knight, George J. Gibson, Gib-son, assisted by the Third Degree Team of Salt Lake Council. The excursion is being conducted under the able management of the genial Deputy Grand Knight of Salt Lake Council, Edward F. Stolzenberger. Just one year ago this month the Salt Lake Degree Teams instituted Ogden Council and conferred con-ferred the three degrees on a class of thirty-five. Today Ogden Council can proudly boast of being the banner council of Utah and Idaho, with a membership mem-bership of over one hundred and twenty-five. This will be the third time within the year that the Salt Lake Degree Teams have visited Ogden and conferred the degrees on from forty-five to fifty candidates, and they have always returned filled with enthusiasm and brotherly love. Sunday will mark the dawn of a new era for theCatholics of Utah and Idaho, when the brothers of Boise, Pocatello, Ogden and Salt Lake Councils gather round the festal board and with hearts tilled with brotherly love will renew the pledges of fraternal fra-ternal charily given in the ritual at the time of the institution of the several councils. Membership in the order of the Knights of Columbus Co-lumbus militates for a higher citzenship and a more practical Catholicity. "Long life and prosperity" is a wish that can be reasonably extended to tha order by the clergy and laity of all nationalities as Mcll as by all who have the future welfare of the state only at heart. i |
