BY MRS. ANNIE F. WEST.

Missouri to be held at Mexico, Mo-,
The Grand Temple was organized
in Mexico, July 1881. Jane Boyle of
Columbia, Mo-, was the first Grand
Princess; Esther Baskin, first Vice
Princess, st. Louis, Mo-; Sallie A.
Moore, Hannibal, Mo, first Grand Sec
rotary. After the Grand Temple was
organized as there was some misun-
derstanding in regard to the legality
of the Grand Temple, it having been
set aside at a call meeting of the
Grand Lodge held in Moberly, Mo-,
June 3, 1884 a committee was APP
pointed to wait upon the Grand Lodge
and said committee presented a writ
ten request that they, the S. NJ. It's be
granted a Grand Temple subject to
the Grand Lodge for the state of Mis-
souri,. The request was granted and
the following sisters were admitted:
S. ] Gray, Irena Akers, Georgia Brad
shaw, Belle Hayden, Hannah Clark,
Belle Thompson, America Brown, Hen
rietta Spears, NJ. w. G. P; S. A. Moore
M. w. G. s., so we can say that Sister
S. A. Moore Haworth was one among
the first to blaze the way for us. She
was on the committee to ask Grand
Lodge to restore the Grand Temple
again. She always ready to do good
and to help others. She knew the
power of friendship and today sisters,
we cannot prosper without friendship.
In 1884 Sister S. A. Moore Haworth
was elected NJ. w. G. P; there we're
80 delegates at this Grand Session.
The next session was held at Han.
nibal, Mo, October 20, 1885. The G.
T. was called to order by NJ. w. G. P.
Sister S. A. Moore Haworth; at this
G. T. they had twenty temples. The
grand total of money taken in at this
session was $125.25. Sister S. A. Moore
vas elected M. w. G. s.. at this session
After this in 1890 she was elected as
sistant Grand secretary and serving
in this office faithfully until August 4,
1893; at the Grand Temple in Mexico,
Mo-, Sister Moore was elected M. w.
G. S. again, we find her all of these
years filling some grand office and
find that she was faithful and always
at her post, on time and never said no.
She was always willing to do all she
could to make the Grand Temple a sue
cess. At the Grand Temple in st.
Louis, Mo-, August 1897, Sister s.. A.
Moore Haworth was elected Assistant
G. s.; at the Grand Temple inu 1898
held in Lexington, Mo-, she was elect
ed G. s., and she was still helping the
sisters to plan the best for the G.. T.;
then we come to 1899 and she was
elected Assistant G. s.; after this she
was elected Grand Chaplain and then
Grand Treasurer in 1911 at the Grand
Temple held in Kansas City, Mo-, in
1912 she was elected Grand Treasurer
again. In 1913 she was elected again
and served in this office until she
passed from the life into the great
beyond on July 2, 1914.
Sister S. A. Moore Haworth loved
this grand old Order of U. B. F. and
S. NJ. T. She understood what these
letters stood for; U. for united we
stand but divided we fall; b. listen to
what Paul says in Romans 1910, BE
Kindly, affectionate, M to another
with brotherly love; / nhonor pre-
ferring one another; next in F.
friendship, true friendship is the tie
that binds us together, heart and hand.
Next is S. Sisters Matt. 1850 says,
For whatsoever shall do the will of
my Father which is in Heaven, the
same is my brother and sister and
mother" Sisters let us strive to do
the will of our heavenly Father that
we may be able to meet Sister s.. A..
Moore Haworth in the Grand Temple
above where all is peace and Joy. Sis
tiers we are just one big family; let US
work together in love; let us labor
hard to bring our sisters closer to-
gether; let us raise the banner of
friendship, justice, mercy, truth and
honesty. Sister S. A. Moore Haworth
was patient all along the way; always
a smile for everyone. Sisters let us
live in that way and manner that when
1t is ours to fold our arms in death we
can say life Paul, For l am now ready
to be offered and the time of my de-
parture is at hand. l have fought a
POod fqht I haya fniehad INV co,1rsa
l have kept the faith; h~enceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness which the Lord, the
righteous judge shall give me at that
day; and not to me only, but unto all
them, also that love his appearance;
of the Lord, that We who are alive
and remain unto the coming of the
Lord shall not,prevent them which are
asleep Paul says, for the Lord him
self shall descend from Heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the Archangel
and with the triumph of God; and the
dead in Christ shall rise first; then
we who are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord and Sister S
A. Moore Haworth in the air; and sc
shall we ever be with the Lord
Wherefore Sisters comfort one an
other with these words: The grace o.
our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all
Amen.
