OF court of equity can be successfully
invoked.
What, then, is the character of the
property plaintiff has as Royal Arch
Mason?
His individual property right is the
right, while he is a member in good
standing, to be assisted when he is in
need or distress from the funds of the
society in the manner and to the ex-
tent prescribed by the rules of the So
ciety This right is not proportionable
or severable, nor is it alienabIe. The
interest is not a partnership interest
as in some Mutual Benefit Associations
it has been held to be. 1t ceases to have
potential existence when his good
standing ceases; and he accepted mem
bership with such understanding and
upon such conditions. In societies of
this kind fraternal fellowship is the
main object-the accumulation of prop
erty is a mere incident in aid of the main
object. Such property remains with the
society as long as it exists, and, doubt
less, could be lawfully distributed
among those who constitute the society
at such time as it might cease to exist.
