Since then it has grown in membership until today it numbers .60O.7l2 members in good standing, be. ing tho largest secret society in pon, of membership and financial standing in the known world. The invested fund of it's subordinate lodges in the United States aggregate $t0,lls,646.l7, and in Canada, Australia, Japan and other countries wherever it has q foothold. its subordinate lodges are known for their beautiful temples and other ipstitu. tions, representing outlays which com. pare favorably with its investments in this country.
 Leaving ont of consideration the amount spent by the order for the rc. , lief of the sufferers of the San Fran. cisco earthquake, which ran into the millions, the order during the year 1906 expended $4,6s0,3si.74 for the relief of it's indigcnt members and its charities the work of relief and expenditures for charity not being entirely confined within tho portals of its membership.
