The general principles taught by this order are tound in its motto: ‘‘Love, fiaelity and purity.’’ Love to God and their fellow men ; fidelity to obligations and to the world; purity of life, in thought, word or deed. All social distinctions are laid aside ; both sexes have equal privileges and benefits; all are united, as a united order to carry out the principles ot reform, to encourage useful industry, to stimulate mental and moral cul- ture, to promote fratermty and phi- lanthrophy, to render mutual as- sistance to each other, watching by the bed of sickness and death, to pro- tect the families of deceased and to- tally disabled members. This order takes an advance step in educating against slander, blas- phemy, gambling and fraudulent dealing.
