So let us all remember that . . .

“There's more, much more to Christmas

Than just candle-lights and cheer;

It's the spirit of sweet friendship

That brightens all the years;

It is thoughtfulness and kindness,

It is hope that is reborn again,

For peace, for understanding

And for goodwill to humans!”

- Author Unknown

Our wish for you is a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Dear Sisters and Brothers, As you are reading this, our Official Visits are almost complete

and we are beginning to think of another Christmas Season.

To which we raise a toast.Let us reflect on the season

Star of the East, that long agoBrought wise men on their way

Where, angels singing to and fro,The Child of Bethlehem lay--

Above that Syrian hill afarThou shinest out tonight, O Star!

Ruth:

Mary rode a camel,And Joseph walked along,

While angels watched from afarCelebrating in song.

When they arrived in Bethlehem,The couple was turned away,

By keepers of the innTelling them of no place to stay.

Esther:

Mary and Joseph's journey endedIn a stable filled with hay,

It was there that Mary gave birth,To our King on this day.

Some angels came from heaven,And they began to sing.

To the shepherds in the fields below,"Glad tidings do we bring!”

Martha:

Electa:

So as we celebrate ChristmasWith candy and presents and more

Remember we have a Savior,Giving us life evermore.

Chaplain:

Star of the East! show us the wayIn wisdom undefiled

To seek that manger out and layOur gifts before the Child--

To bring our hearts and offer themUnto our King in Bethlehem!

O Father, may that holy star Grow every year more bright,

And send its glorious beams afar To fill the world with light.

Worthy Matron:

And all who gathered round Him,

Rejoiced and praised His birth.For the babe, the King, named Jesus,

Is our Saviour here on earth!

A bright star lit the heavens,To light the magi's way,

To the baby in the mangerWho was born on Christmas day.

Word of the King's arrivalSoon spread very fast,

The Angels told ShepherdsThat a Savior was born at last.

Every day is Christmas When you have the kind of mind That stores up all the goodness And the sweetness it can find.

When you don't need an occasion To spread a bit of cheer

But just keep on a-giving Of yourself throughout the year.

Every day is Christmas

With a gaily wrapped surprise When you get to see the friendship

In someone else's eyes. When you try a little harder And complain a little less,

Holding fast to all the fervor Of the faith that you possess


When you've found that you can be More concerned with words like

"you" And less with "I" and "me". When it's fun to do a favor

And to lend a helping a hand, When being understood means less,

Than when you understand.

Every Day Is Christmas


With a beauty deeply cast, When you find it doesn't matter If you're first or if you're last.

When you can face your conscience And be glad of what you are, Then every day is Christmas

For I have touched the man from God

I still marvelled at her prophesy

He offers living waters and

The veil of time then drops to find

his star beckons on to me.”

And while I pondered yet some more,

While Ruth gave up a life of easeand Esther an earthly crown.

Gentle Martha gave of her faithto wrestle life from death;

followed by wise men from afar;

the greatest story told. . .

And Electa served a life of love,like the man from Nazareth.

And, in each ray - the heroines

A star loomed over the desert sands

. . .and even as I marvelled,they all said in unison...

I marvelled at how,

”We have seen His star in the eastand have come to worship Him!"

To honour and obey my Godthat others, through Him, might live.

Take them being boilt as aforesaid wrap them in coarse rags having been steeped in brine and bury them in a cellar in some sea-sand pretty deep.

Take them alive or dead, lay them in cold water to make the claws tuff, and keep them from breaking off; then have a kettle over the fire with fair water, put in it as much bay salt as will make it a good strong brine, when it boils scum it and put in the lobsters, let them boil leasurely the space of half an hour or more, according to the bigness of them, being well boild take them up, wash them, and then wipe them with beer and butter, and keep them for your use.

25 Years Ago - 1984 50 Years Ago - 1959

A delicious chicken pattie lunch was served in the banquet hall. The tables were decorated with white baskets of gladioli and asters. These were sent to Sister Gladys Smith, our secretary, who had met with an accident, and Bro. Colby Garleton, A. P., a patient in hospital.

A.—No. When there are not sufficient Officers present, the Officers may take their stations informally.Installed Officers, who find they are unable to be present due to sickness or other reasons, should advise the W. M. prior to the meeting so that substitute may be obtained. This not only reflects conscientious interest on the part of the absent Officers but avoids last minute substitutions.

A.—No. This is optional. If there is to be no ceremony, the flag is stationed in the East before opening of the Chapter. If there is to be a ceremony, the flag is placed in the West before opening of the Chapter.

Sister Mersereau expressed her pleasure at being back once again to our Chapter and thanked Sister Velma for the lovely corsage; also her delight that she was present. She addressed the members on the importance of their initiation and admonished them to practice the lessons of the Star Points and to show Charity, Loving Kindness to their fellow citizens. Sister Elspie presented Sister Edith with a cheque for ESTRAL instead of the Chapter's gift of a corsage. Sister Jean Morris, A. M., presented Sister Edith with a gift from the Chapter members.

Greetings are sent to our members living out of town; they are remembered by all and are missed at our meetings.

Bathurst Chapter was honored to welcome to their regular meeting in October Sister Edith Mersereau, W. G. M. Mrs. Elspie Smith, W. M., presided over the meeting, assisted by the W. P., Bro. Tom Drillen. Sister Mersereau was welcomed to the East and accorded Grand Honors. Sister Velma Branch, Grand Conductress, was welcomed to the meeting. Visitors were present from Chaleur Chapter No. 17, Prince Charles No. 27, Fort Monckton No. 11, Saint John No. 14 and Hillcrest No. 40.

E. PRUDENCE CARLETON, Press Corr.

W.G.M. MERSEREAU VISITS BATHURST No. 22

THE QUESTION BOX Q.—Is it necessary to have an opening march?

Q.—Is it necessary to have a Flag presentation ceremony?

The presentation of the flag should not be looked upon as just a ritual or ceremony. It is a re-dedication of our appreciation and loyalty to our country. It is a symbol of the many freedoms that we enjoy through the sacrifices of those who now live and those who have gone before us, even to the giving of life, that we may live in peace and harmony with those about us and with other nations.

escorted to the east and given grand honours, as were Sis. Jacquie Boutilier, WGM and Bro. DeWitt Lister, WGP of New Brunswick. GGCCM Sis.

All of the grand officers of both jurisdictions and Grand Representatives, and several worthy matrons and patrons were introduced, taken to the east and given a hearty welcome, a custom not practiced in N.S. but very much practiced in N.B.

Thanks again Joe.

MARITIME NIGHT — HALIFAX, N.S.

This session was opened in form by the Officers of T.D. Mabe Chapter in Bedford. The WGM Sis. Eunice Brown and the WGP Bro. Neil Archibald were then introduced,

A gathering was held on October 13,1984 at St. Mary's University in Halifax for the purpose of N.B. in N.S. & P.E.I, exchange, at which time the Grand Officers of New Brunswick exemplified the Initiatory work.

The Grand Officers then assumed their stations and exemplified the work of the order in a very fitting manner. Sis. Lois Hicks, filled in as treasurer, Sis. Geraldine Keiver as Organist and Sis. Hilda Shaffer as Warder, for which we are grateful. After the work of the order was completed and the lighter side of life prevailed, the WGM of N.S. & P.E.I, presented Sis. Jacquie and Bro. DeWitt each with a Care Bear, the WGM's fun symbol. All distinguished guests spoked fittingly on the occasion of the evening and to the new members.After the meeting closed, refreshments were served and Bro.
