Editor the Tribune:
Permit me to say to the Eastern
Star chapters throughout the state,
and especially to those working under
the Texas Jurisdiction, let us not try
to organize Grand Chapter in the
state at this time l think the col
ored Masons did very unwise thing
to leave the Texas Jurisdiction at this
time. II there be any who entertain
doubt as to the truth of this state
ment, am prepared to prove the as
sertion.
Again, l do not think the delegates
or representatives from the different
lodges who assisted in organizing a
Grand Lodge voiced the sentiment of
their home lodges. l know personally
of some who were given limited power
and of others who were duly instruct
ed, but went contrary to and beyond
their instructions. l do not say this
to start family feud, but 1 say it
merely as a warning to the Sisters of
the different chapters throughout the
state. Let him that standeth take
heed lest he fall"
