Those objectives include: Uniting fraternally all eligible male and female persons of sound bodily health and good moral standing, who are socially acceptable. Giving moral and material aid in its power to its members and those dependent on them. Teaching morality without religious distinction, patriotism without partisanship, and brotherhood without creed or class. Educating the members socially, morally and intellectually. Assisting the families of deceased members. Establishing funds for the payment of Death Benefits, Educational Loans and Annuities. The Royal Arcanum is founded on the principles of good citizenship. It promotes love of country, home and friends; the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man; faithfulness in performance of obligations of the home; honor in your dealings with mankind; generosity with those less fortunate than yourself; sympathy, kindness and consideration for the bereaved and distressed.
