The following is the Secretarys report:
To the officers and members of Kenoshd C0un-
ell No. 3z3, r. A.
BRETHERN-.It become my duty as your
Secretary to give you some brief statement
of the condition of our beloved Order at
the close of the year 1899. The Royal
Arcanum has increased in membership from
10000 last year to 100000 at the end of
this year, How the contributions of its
members have swelled from the first one of
$4,000 to the princely sum of $4,000 at
each call, and now nearly $12,000,000 have
gone as messengers of comfort and love to
many lonely cottage and sadden home.
The brother to whom the Royal Secret
has been revealed. Who knows the bless
ing and power which are hidden within the
meaning of Virtue, Mercy, and Charity,
feels the throb of the great heart of human
ity, touched by sorrow or misfortune and
always yearning for brotherly love- He
sees the needs of help, serves in many
an avenue of life, where grief and suffering
dwell, and his heart exults as he remem-
bers that the RoyalArcanum is the friend of
humanity and that in large degree, it meets
many of humanity's wants. Royal Arcanum
is to day. one of the best institutions, to
minister healing balm to a sorrow-stricken
heart, and brothers we ought to be thank
lul for this privilege to have share. in
ministering comfort to widows and orphans
in their most trying hours. AS council
we have had additions to our number
by limitation, ] by card, and only one
has left our ranks by suspension. The an
gel of death, has passed by all our doors this
year, although we like Pharaoh of old,
may have made ourself liable, and we feel
happy and hearty, in the full vigor of life.
In issuing the call for this meeting, we as
officers wish once more to see your faces
and shake your hands, before we vacate our
chairs, trusting that we will all be true to ouI
post, trying our best to increase our mem
bership by good material, and so build up
our order, not looking back, but forward
until Royal Arcanum shall be No. /, the
grandest and best 10 all the land.
Fraternally Yours in V. M. G.
Chas G. Theleen,
Secy.
