Ordenens formaal er gjensidig hjrelp og stØtte i sygdom og nød samt bevarelse af norskdom. Medlemmerne er berettiget til sygehjælp, og de kan ogsaa erholde livsforsikring i be!Øb fra $250 til $10,000 til meget rimelige priser. Ordenens livsforsikring er baseret paa den saakaldte "American Experience Mortality Tab!e," der benyttes af de fleste store selskaber her i landet, og værdsættelsen af dens policer har i de senere aar vist en reserve af 130 procent. Ordenen har for nærværende 11,000 assurancemedlemmer og ca. 14,000 medlemmer uden assurance, og det samlede assurancebeløb er ca. 10 millioner dollars. Siden ordenens stiftelse er der blit udbetalt til assurancemedlemmers efterladte $497,899.79.
