Gale Conde Banks, secretary of the Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven, Los Angeles, circa 1929

Description:
Unidentified man, perhaps an attorney, and Gale Conde Banks, secretary and transcriber of the Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven, seated in an office. Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven was founded by May Blackburn and her daughter Ruth Wieland Rizzio in the 1920s. Banks was an instructor at a military academy in Portland. His friend Martha Rhoads, an associate of Blackburn and Wieland Rizzio, had instructed Banks that he had been called to be a member of the Great Eleven and he must travel to California to meet the new Order's leader. After meeting May Blackburn in California, Banks then became her secretary, or more specifically, her amanuensis, meaning he would transcribe and help interpret the visions May Blackburn and Ruth Wieland experienced when visited by angels.
