It is fraternal and beneficial, and is broadly founded on the universality of mankind. It was organized for the purpose of giving the more common laborer an opportunity for protection at a quite moderate expense. The chief officer is styled "Grand Illuminator." The work and discipline are quite different from that practiced in other secret societies. It is stated that its officers are rather desirous of perfection of its system of work than a large membership and following."
