Deborah, in the period of her woman
hood. arose triumphantly above her
! troubles, and overcame her trials,
which were many and great.
Queen Esther is a character worthy
of imitation. She, with all the wealth
and grandeur that one could desire,
was unselfsh and charitable and ever
ready and willing to respond to her
people, oftentimes at the displeasure of
the king.
Ruths love and affection is COM
mendabe and worthy of our consider
alton. After the death of her husband
her mother-in-law, Naomi, insisted on
her leaving her and going to her peo-
pie. But, no; her love and affection for
Naomi was so great that she preferred
to remain with her, Z. poor woman,
rather than go 10 her own people,
where she could fare sumptuously.
1t takes something more than fenni-
ninity to make a true woman. There
must be life and character, and these
adorned. beautiful and hallowed by
friendship, love and truth, radiate
forth into the world, making others
better and happier.
The revised Rebekah ritual does not
appear TO meet with the favor that was
anticipated. The more it is studied
and compared with the old ritual the
more its glazing faults are appreciated.
sovereign Representative stern Oh NEW
York wrote it (the revised edition) all
himself. so says the Three Links of
Buffalo, n. Y. The paper says: Grand
Representative Stern of this city (Buf-
falo) wrote it all himself, and received
the congra tulations OF the members of
the state grand lodge for his great and
brilliant effort. Wonder how he likes
the congratulations of the fraternal
press and especially the national Re-
bekah? The other two members of the
committee, Clapp of Ohio and Coke of
Kentucky, may be excused if they
chucke in their sleeves just now
Brother Stern has done everything. 1t
bears the stamp of his ability as a
ritual reviser. and as he was willing to
accept all the compliments he must
now take the criticisms as WELL.
Naomi Lodge No. 1 of this city had
members and visitors. At recess the
sisters introduced the visitors by pleas
ant words, thus performing a kindly
act, which was sincerely appreciated
by the recipients. Being conscious of
their own honesty and integrity, they
accord the same honesty of purpose to
others. The degree staff conferred the
beautiful work on two candidates.
Esther Lodge No. s gave a ball last
Thursday, which was very literally pa
tronized, there being nearly 100 couples
on the floor, who enjoyed the dance
until late hour. The committees per-
formed their duties in a satisfactory
manner, making every one feel at ease.
No. will give d progressive might've
party tomorrow night, and prepara-
tons are being made to entertain a
large number of friends. These socials
are conducive of good times by all who
avail themselves of the opportunity.

Mrs. Julia McGillivray, wife of Past
Grand William McGillivray, of Salt
Lake lodge No. ?, died on Saturday.
the 9th, after an illness extending over
several months. She was a great suf-
ferer, but bore it all with Christian
fortitude. She had the constant attan-
zion of her husband and children, and
they did all that mortals could dc for
her, but her divine master above had
need of her, and called her to him.
The deceased sister was a past noble
grand of Naomi lodge No. l, of this |
city, and during the term of Grand
Master LutZ, she was district deputy
for Salt Lake Rebekah lodges She |
was always prompt and faithful in the |
discharge of her duties and many a |
time visited the subordinate lodges, |
when she would have preferred to re- |
main at home, but her sense of duty
was imperative. Whenever appealed to /
~ NAC AON6C SllC gave IeE QeClSlOn III /
such way that showed her tact and |
intelligent womanhood. Her loss to the |
order is great, and many will mourn
her removal from this earthly sphere |
The date of the funeral Will be an
nounced through the daily press.
We, too. shall come to the river side,
One by one. one by one; /
We are nearer its water each even tide /
Yes. one by one;
Gathering home. gathering home,
