The Bible was closed and we sang “Go Now In Peace.”The Officers retired with the singing of “Till We Meet Again”.This was the last time the officers would do the out-going march. We have surrendered our Charter and are joining with the members of Prince Charles Chapter #27 to form a new chapter, Miramichi #44.

On Saturday, April 28, 2012, the members of the former Prince Andrew Chapter #42 met to celebrate the 50 years they had been meeting and working together. The celebration got underway with a banquet for the members and invited guests, 77 in all enjoyed a wonderful meal catered to by the members of Northumberland Lodge #17, F&AM. Sister Darlene Bunnell, PM. did very well as M.C. for the banquet explaining what was to happen during the evening as well as introducing the head table. Following the banquet all retired to the chapter room upstairs.

She then introduced Rev. John Fraser who brought a very inspiring message to the membership. It has been the practice to have a church service sometime during the year each Worthy Matron serves but this past year we could not get it together so tonight we had Rev. Fraser speak. His address was based on how many changes have come about since 1962.

We then received greetings from His Worship, Mayor Gerry Cornier, the Worshipful Master Brother John Russell of Northumberland Lodge #17 F&AM

Introductions were held with the introduction of the WGM, WGP, GGCCM, PGM's, PGP's,Gr. Officers, Gr. Representatives, WM's and WP's, PM's, PP's and we must not forget the Hummingbirds (side liners) for what would we do without them. Sis. Jean read a poem “Hummingbird Spirit.”

Sister Jean Kelly, WM and Brother David Bucklow, WP presided and an open meeting was held. The bible opened and the Lord's Prayer repeated. We honored the flags with the singing of O Canada and 'God Save The Queen.

We then had a period of reminiscing when the Past Matrons and Past Patrons present told of something that happened during their year of service. It was certainly very interesting and brought back many good memories.

A collection was taken and we thank the members and friends for their generosity. The collection is to be given to the St. James and St. John United Church Refurbishing Fund.

As you beat the dough pay close attention to the consistency. Add more rice milk a tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until you achieve a smooth but sturdy cookie dough. I added two more tablespoons of rice milk to my dough.

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1 cup organic cane sugar

Add in:½ cup vegan chocolate chips

Stir in the chocolate chips as best you can (the dough is stiff). Roll a golf ball sized wad of dough between your palms, and place the ball on the lined baking sheet about two inches apart. Repeat this process to make 18 balls. Use your palm to press down on the dough and flatten slightly- not too much- unless you like your cookies thin. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies, if you like.Bake in the center of a preheated oven for about 15 minutes until the cookies are set. They will still be slightly soft in the center. If you bake two pans at once, rotate the pans half way through baking. Remove the pans from the oven, and allow the cookies to cool and "set" for a few minutes; then use a thin spatula to move the cookies to a wire rack. The cookies will get crisper as they cool. Yield: 24 cookies

1 teaspoon sea salt

about my health following my surgery on July 12th. The phone calls, visits, cards & flowers meant so much to me. It is so nice to know that your thoughts & prayers were with

Eastern Star Remembers25 Years Ago - Aug 198750 Years Ago - Aug 1962

EDITORIAL 1962 -LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The Order of the Eastern Star in New Brunswick is by no means large as to the number of Chapters or membership when we compare this jurisdiction with many others in various parts of the world, in 1981 we had a membership of 4,385 with a gain of only 65 over the previous year. Nevertheless, we are gaining ground both in the number of Chapters and membership. Since the election of Sister Lottie Kyle in 1930 to the present day, there has been an impres-sive list of Past Grand Matrons as well as Past Grand Patrons. A few have gone to Higher Service_nor will we forget the proportional number of our membership who have gone to their reward and the services they have rendered to their respective Chapters.Membership is commensurate with economic and industrial growth of any area, for when there is an increase of population and prosperity there will be an upsurge reflected in the growth of the Order. We may expect this, and in the next thirty years may double our present membership. It is becoming apparent that many people affiliated with the Masonic Order are becoming aware of the prestige and good that the Order has brought. These are rays of hope that we must look forward to with fortitude & determination. Editor: Thirty years later in 1992 we reported a reduced membership of only 3538 strong.

Editor: We congratulate Sister Margaret on the 50th Anniversary of her installation as Wor. Grand Matron.

ELECTA CHAPTER NO. 9, PERTH-ANDOVER, N.B

There was a very uneasy feeling about the St. John River and during the night many people evacuated from their homes and the hospital Thursday morning April 2nd at 9 a.m. CPR railroad bridge went, ice, water on both sides of river; millions of dollars damage; many homes completely destroyed_no lives lost. The Installation of Officers didn't take place until May 2nd due to the condition of the Masonic Lodge building. There was water mixed with oil, to the ceiling of the basement. It will cost considerable money an a lot of labour to repair again. Editor’s Note: The Chapter was flooded again in March 2012.

Installation of OfficersA dispensation was given by WGM Sis. Florence Wilson to hold installation on May 2. 1987. The installing officer was Bro. Douglas Moore, PP, assisted by Bro. Edwin Love, In-stalling Marshal; Past Patron Robert Bell, Chaplain; Organist, PGM Grace Brooks and Soloists Sisters Ruth Boyer and Barbara Moore.

The April meeting was held first day of April with Worthy Matron Sis. Anna Edgecomb and Worthy Patron Bro. Joseph Holmes presiding. The Charter was draped in memory of Sis. Delia Campbell. Refreshments and a social hour was enjoyed after closing of Chapter.

Officers installed for 1987-88 were: Worthy Matron—Sis. Barbara Moore Worthy Patron —Bro. Douglas Moore, PP Assoc. Matron—Sis. Leitha Holmes Assoc. Patron—Bro. Joseph Holmes. PP Secretary—Sis. Terry Moffitt Treasurer—Sis. Hazel Moore, PM Conductress —Sis. Mary Ann Doherty Assoc. Cond.—Sis. Zula Love Chaplain—Bro. Edwin Love Marshall—Sis. Carol Brooks Organist—Sis. Grace Brooks. PGM Adah—Sis. Margaret Brooks Ruth—Sis. Margaret Pirie, PM Esther—Sis. Shirley Webster Martha—Sis. Bertha Nissen, PM Electa—Sis. Ida Mae Boone Warder—Sis. Ruth Boyer Sentinel — Bro. Frank Boyer

The typographical error is too small forhuman eyes

Till pages are off the presses it's strange how still it keeps.

Now all the other printing may be clean as clean can be — But the typographical error is the only thing you SEA!

'Til the ink is on the paper; when it grows tomountain size!

The pinning on of the Jr. Past Matron Sis. Anna's jewel was done by her daughter Sis. Terry Moffitt. The Jr. Past Patron Joseph Holmes' jewel was done by his daughter Anna. A Pot Luck Supper was served after in the banquet hall.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

You can hunt until you're dizzy & somehow it still gets by -

The Editor stares with horror, then tears his hair & groans,

The typographical Error is a slippery thing and sly.

Let us dedicate this year to making our Chapter rooms a Sanctuary of Peace and Harmony. This can only be done if we would refrain from any unkindness in word or deed.”

Eastern Star Remembers25 Years Ago - Aug 198750 Years Ago - Aug 1962

EDITORIAL 1962 -LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The Order of the Eastern Star in New Brunswick is by no means large as to the number of Chapters or membership when we compare this jurisdiction with many others in various parts of the world, in 1981 we had a membership of 4,385 with a gain of only 65 over the previous year. Nevertheless, we are gaining ground both in the number of Chapters and membership. Since the election of Sister Lottie Kyle in 1930 to the present day, there has been an impres-sive list of Past Grand Matrons as well as Past Grand Patrons. A few have gone to Higher Service_nor will we forget the proportional number of our membership who have gone to their reward and the services they have rendered to their respective Chapters.Membership is commensurate with economic and industrial growth of any area, for when there is an increase of population and prosperity there will be an upsurge reflected in the growth of the Order. We may expect this, and in the next thirty years may double our present membership. It is becoming apparent that many people affiliated with the Masonic Order are becoming aware of the prestige and good that the Order has brought. These are rays of hope that we must look forward to with fortitude & determination. Editor: Thirty years later in 1992 we reported a reduced membership of only 3538 strong.

Editor: We congratulate Sister Margaret on the 50th Anniversary of her installation as Wor. Grand Matron.

ELECTA CHAPTER NO. 9, PERTH-ANDOVER, N.B

There was a very uneasy feeling about the St. John River and during the night many people evacuated from their homes and the hospital Thursday morning April 2nd at 9 a.m. CPR railroad bridge went, ice, water on both sides of river; millions of dollars damage; many homes completely destroyed_no lives lost. The Installation of Officers didn't take place until May 2nd due to the condition of the Masonic Lodge building. There was water mixed with oil, to the ceiling of the basement. It will cost considerable money an a lot of labour to repair again. Editor’s Note: The Chapter was flooded again in March 2012.

The typographical error is too small forhuman eyes

& the helper who okayed the proofs drops her head & moans.

Till pages are off the presses it's strange how still it keeps.

Now all the other printing may be clean as clean can be — But the typographical error is the only thing you SEA!

'Til the ink is on the paper; when it grows tomountain size!

The pinning on of the Jr. Past Matron Sis. Anna's jewel was done by her daughter Sis. Terry Moffitt. The Jr. Past Patron Joseph Holmes' jewel was done by his daughter Anna. A Pot Luck Supper was served after in the banquet hall.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

You can hunt until you're dizzy & somehow it still gets by -

The Editor stares with horror, then tears his hair & groans,

The typographical Error is a slippery thing and sly.

Let us dedicate this year to making our Chapter rooms a Sanctuary of Peace and Harmony. This can only be done if we would refrain from any unkindness in word or deed.”

MARGARET SOMERVILLE

“let us be determined to give our best to fur -ther the principles for which our Order stands.
