March list, 3D. and 4th are the spring
Ember days. Ember days occur foul
times during the year-at the beginning
of the four seasons. The word is Anglo.
Saxon-its full form being ymJ-ryne, and
in its original sense is "a running
round "circuit" or "course," c ompoun
ded of the Anglo.Saxon ymGe, around,
and ryHe, from rinndR, to run. TIE word
has nothing to do with the common word
ember, which means ashes. Among the
pagans it was time of prayer for good
crops or praise for good crops harvested
"A thanks giving. These Ember prayer
times were at sowing growing. ripenng
and garnering. The pagan custom on
being transplanted into and adopted by
the christian church took on the further
meaning of blessing the consecrated min>
istry-a prayer for the planting growing
ripening of the preached word and the
garneriug of souls-the ministerial har-
vest sheaves. The custom-pagan or
christian was a diguiied and worthy
one-a recognition of Gods power and
goodness.

ROYAL ARCANUM.
a Subordinate council Established
in this City.


A subordinate Council of this, one of
the most important of mutual benefit as
sociations, was instituted by Deputy Su-
preme Regent James A. Thomas on Fri
day evening last in Grand Army Hall.
The new Council, appropriately named
"The Southern California" was insti-
tuted under the most favorable auspices
Deputy Supreme Regent Thomas exem.
pli6ed the work and installed the officers
in a most effective and mastery manner
and the enthusiasm displayed by mem
bers and applicants was in itself a guar.
antee of the future success of the order
in this city. Following are the officers
Regent, W. r. MacKendrick; Vice-Re-
gent, M. T. Whitaker; Orator, Jordan
Stone; Past Regent, D. G. Peck; Secre-
tary, w. P. Stewart; Collector, W. D.
Clark; Treasurer, z. B. Nudge; Chap
lain, w. 81. Richards; Guide, j. G. Let
teller; Warden, M. A. Long; Sentry,
Charles Sturgess.
The Royal Arcanum is a secret bene-
ficiary order, founded upon business
principles and incorporating all the i'm
provements which modern experience
ana study has suggested. Founded in
Boston in 1877 under the general laws of
Massachusetts, it has grown from a
small beginning to membership of co.
600, with !, $50 subordinate councils, and
it now pays annually to benefciaries the
enormous sum Of 100000. The opera.
tions of the order are restricted to terri
tories free from epidemics. A rigid ex-
animation is made by local examiner,
which must be approved by the medical
examiner-in.chief. Assessments are
based upon the equable plan of graded
scale. Three thousand dollars is the
highest amount paid on the death of a
brother. The average number of assess
ments called per year since the founda-
tion Of the Order is nine. Since it's in.
stitution the Order has paid benefciaries
on 2.4S4 deaths the sum of 81 ,349, 900.
1t is the intention of the members of the
Southern California Council to give a
series Of entertainments, which plan has
been adopted throughout the East where
the Order is unusually strong and popu.
lar, Chicago alone having thirty-fve
councils, with a membership of over
10000.
