TIC D. w. GERARD, the founder
and supreme chief of the Tribe
- of Ben Hur, whose portrait
graces this page, is one of the best
known fraternalists in the United
States. He tells an interesting story
of the beginning of his interest in such
matters Left an orphan in childhood
he resented conditions that required
his mother to work as she did to keep
her family together. He saw a solu-
ton In the fraternal beneficiary orders
and Joined the first one organized.
Never being able to get too much of
a good thing. he Joined many others
until ne is able to "give a certain
friendly grip" to members of all lead
ing .fraternities. He labored in the field
doing all the good he could until about
fifteen years ago he conceived the idea
of a fraternity that would in many
ways be different from those then in
existence. The tribe of Ben Hur was
the result. Il was founded on the
story of ben Hur: A Tale of the
Christ" written by his lifelong friend
and neighbor, Gen. Lew Wallace.
From its inception it was a success.
Millions have read and Endorsed the
book, and knowing that the orders

by the supreme chief and founder of
the order, Hon. d. w. Gerard of Craw-
louisville, Ind, and Hon. e. r. Bryson
of Covington, KY, member of the
supreme executive committee. The de-
gree staff of the court exemplif1ed the
work in a manner to win compliments
from the visitors. Following the de-
gree work came addresses by the SUI
preme officers that aroused the men,
bership present to high degree of en-
thusiasm. Plans were laid for cam
paign to increase the membership and
make the order take a front place in
the orders of California.
Wednesday evening preliminary
meeting was held at Adams and Cen
trail for the institution of a new court,
and it's success was assured from the
start. The new court will meet at the
same place next Wednesday evening,
elect members and make all other
preparations preparatory to the formal
Institution and installation the follow
ing week.

meeting next Tuesday at Mammoth

ritual was taken from that sublime
story were able to know more of its
principles than is usually known in
such cases.
Today the order has over 100000
members and a surplus of over $1,000
900. This is the grand achievement of
Mr. Gerard. 1t is a monument more
lasting than marble or granite, for it
carries out the instructions of 1.-THE
Nazarine whose teachings are the chief
corner stone of the order"
Mr.. Gerard has pleasing person
atty. and impresses everyone he meets
with his deep sincerity ana latin in
the great work in which he is en-
gagged. His reputation as public
speaker is national. He commands the
attention of his hearers from the first
word and takes them from grave to
gay in an instant But 1t is when he
is talking of homes of happy mothers
and well cared for children that his
love for his work is seen. 1t brings
so forcibly to his hearers that he
has not forgotten his own mother and
is striving with all the force of his be-
ing to prevent other good women from
suffering as she did. Mr. Gerard is
accompanied by Mrs. Gerard and will
spend a couple of months in Southern
California recuperating.
