Rh , the colors and flowers appropriate to the five points of our Star are endowed with beauty and instruction. To you is assigned the duty of teaching the impressive lessons which those colors and floral emblems symbolize, and the sublime virtues illustrated in the lives of the heroines of our Order. How important, then, that in the discharge of your official duties, you should strive to throw an air of beauty and solemnity around all that you have to say and do, so that from you, as the central Star of this Chapter, may emanate a light that will give instruction and joy to all who attend our meetings.

Sister Marshal, you will invest our sisters with their badges of office.

I. O. Sister Adah, your badge is the Sword and Veil within the Triangle, an emblem of the heroic conduct of Jephthah's Daughter, admonishing you to be ever faithful to your convictions of right and duty.
