Their emblem is the Menorah--the gol don candlestick-a ud its -grand. meaning "'let there be light" is expressive~of all the isims of the fraternity, and the fact that the order has gro~wn to such proportions in but little. over half a century is proof of, how true itasuembership has been to its high objocts.
