Cond. Sister Associate Matron. I find all present members of the Order of the Eastern Star.
The Associate Matron will then respond:
A. M. Worthy Matron, all present are members of the Order and entitled to its privileges.
W. M. It is well. Sister Warder.
War. Worthy Matron.
W. M. You will instruct the Sentinel that we are about to engage in the ceremony of opening our Chapter, and direct him to allow no interruption, while we are thus engaged.
The Warder, in due order, ** ** * * after responses from the Sentinel, opens the doors and repeats the order to the Sentinel, after which she closes the door and says:
War. Worthy Matron, there will be no interruption.
The Worthy Matron will call up the Officers and they will remain standing during the ceremony of opening.
W. M. Sister Associate Matron.
