The reports of grand officers showed
the fraternity to be in a very prosperous
condition in Montana. We quote as fol-
lows from the report of Grand Master
Logan:
1t is source of much qualification to me to be
able to congratulate you upon the continued pros
perity of our Order and its increased member
ship. Maywe continue with the good work until
we have q f1ourishing lodge in every town in our
new state.
At the close of last year we had q subordinate
lodges and lodges Of the Daughters of Rebekah,
with total membership of 1,3OS.
The reports of last year show the income Of all
subordinate lodges to be $22,6O0.20
We have at present 33 subordinate lodges and S
Rebekah degree lodges, with total membership
of 1,525; gain In membership, 2l7.
This year the total revenue from all sources
amounts to $25 161. 81, while our disbursements for
relief have been $3,69811.
During the year there have been very few ques-
tons submitted to me, some Of which were of SO
little importance that will not take up the time
of the Grand Body by reviewing them, but will
submit the following for your considerations:
Question-Can a member on the night Of nomi-
nation, be nominated for more than one office?
Answer-Yes.
Question-Is 1t proper to elect a third degree
member to the Office Of N. G., when there are past
grands belonging to the lodge who do not attend.
or who do not live In town, who have not refused
to serve?
Answer--In my Judgment it is not necessary for
lodge to go out of the lodge room for its officer
therefore l decide If all qualified members In the
lodge room refuse to serve, the lodge can by dis
pensation elect third degree member.
Question-In section % Of the constitution for
Rebekah lodge the latest law by which we are to
be governed.
Answer-The election of officers in Rebekah
lodges are held as prescribed In section % OF the
constitution for Rebekah lodges.
Question--Is a brother eligible for Office who
has not the Rebekah degree?
AnsWer-Yes.

taken from the report of Grand Secretary
White:
