The word AzOr is of Biblical derivation, and
means ''he who helps" or zone who assists and
is assisted" Therefore the Order of Azor is a
cooperative beneficial order. Each member
can take out at the time of initiation from one
10 five certificates. or apply for and receive ad-
ditional certificates from time to time, pro-
vided that the number of certificates never
time. The sick and accident disability dement's
are both prorated and graded. The sick and
accident disability benefits are cumulative;
that is to say. any undrawn balance Still stands
10 the credit Of the member for future use
when needed. All sick and accident disability
benefits are deducted at the maturity of the
certificate. together with 6 per cent interest.
A funeral benefit OF $50 is allowed for husband
or wife. Upon death OF a member prior to the
date Of the maturity Of the certificate il may
be prorated in proportion to the time In force,
or the beneficiary may carry 1t TO maturity in
the same manner as the member Would nave
done had death not occurred. Both sexes be-
tween the ages of l6 and Is years are admitted
on 60 ual terms. No assessments will be levied
at any time on the first yea: of membership.
The first local bureau will be institu ID early

sured. as there are already about zOU names on
