The Loyal Order of Moose is a fraternal organization founded in 1888 by Dr. John Henry Wilson, and headquartered in Mooseheart, Illinois, now called The Moose Fraternity. The initials "P.A.P." stands for "Purity, Aid, and Progress". Mooseheart is a residential home and school for infants, children and teens whose parents are unable to care for them. It was founded in 1913 by James J. Davis. The fraternity’s Nine O'clock Ceremony depicted on this decanter was made into an oil painting in the 1930's. It shows a child saying a bedtime prayer, the Campanile tower shown outside the window. The painting was updated in the early 1960s, now the House of God is depicted at dusk outside the window, this decanter shows the original tower.
