Fix this text{Concluded from page 205.)
Fix this text2. District Laws. —The Districts, as we
Fix this texthave already remarked, are composed of Re-
Fix this textpresentatives of the Tents within its bounds.
Fix this textIn connexion with the District is the Burial
Fix this textFund, which is formed from the payment by
Fix this texteach brother of one shilling out of the
Fix this textinitiation money, and one-half of the over-
Fix this textage money. For example, a brother being
Fix this textforty years old at the time of admission pays
Fix this text205., one-half of which is overage money;
Fix this textso that in addition to the one shilling already
Fix this textnamed, the District would be entitled to ss.
Fix this textout of the lOs. Overage commences at 36
Fix this textoifars of age.
Fix this textBurial Fund.— When a brother dies it is
Fix this textout of this fund the funeral gift is paid.
Fix this textFrom what has been said you will perceive
Fix this textthat all the Tents in the District bear the
Fix this textburthen occasioned by death. Some Dis-
Fix this texttricts have a permanent levy payable quar-
Fix this textterly; others only lay a levy as needed.
Fix this textThe same principle that regulates clearances
Fix this textand the sick gift is applied to the funeral
Fix this textfund : thus, if a brother removes to another
Fix this textdistrict, and of course joins a tent in that
Fix this textdistrict, the district that he left is liable for
Fix this texttwelve months to all the contingencies to
Fix this textwhich such brother is exposed, and if he
Fix this textdies, the district into which he comes must
Fix this textbury him, and afford to his family all the
Fix this texthelp that may be required, and debit the dis-
Fix this texttrict from which he came with the amount.
Fix this textFrom what has been advanced on the sub-
Fix this textject of removals and other advantages, it will
Fix this textbe perceived that when a person becomes a
Fix this textmember of the Order at large, the advan-
Fix this texttages are not dependant upon the existence of
Fix this textthe particular Tent to which he is united,
Fix this textbut upon the existence of the whole Order;
Fix this textin short, every brother has his guarantee for
Fix this textthe permanence of the Order in every other
Fix this textRechabite in the world.
Fix this textTravelling Relief Fund. —Each District
Fix this textis empowered to establish a., travelling fund,
Fix this textout of which to relieve brethren who may be
Fix this textcompelled to travel in search of employment,
Fix this textfrom which much good results to those who
Fix this textare necessitated to leave their homes in search
Fix this textof employment*.
Fix this text111. The Objects
Fix this text1. To make Provision for Seasons of
Fix this textSickness. —You will have perceived from
Fix this textwhat has been already said that one of the
Fix this textobjects is to make provision for seasons of
