Honored Queen Part Flashcards
What does the HQ say after Marshal comes in with the National Emblem.
This flag is an emblem of the liberties we enjoy, the protection of our homes, and the freedom of our institutions. It is a symbol of our past, present, and future—a constant reminder of the ideals that we strive to uphold as we build a strong foundation for future generations. We honor this flag and all for which it stands. Marshal, place it in the East at the right of the Senior Princess. (Is seated)
What is the HQ’s Station and Duties?
(Rises) My station is in the East. My duty as Honored Queen is to carefully plan and preside during all meetings of the Bethel, to require an orderly procedure at all times, to avoid favoritism and partiality and to exercise a general supervision over the Bethel activities. In the ceremony of the Third Epoch we are taught the triumph of faith in God as we journey through life. Daughters, you will rise and join in exemplifying the signs and repeating the responses of our Order. (Is Seated)
What does the HQ xxxxxx
(Rises)We read in the Book of Job that “In all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.” This is the passage upon which Job’s Daughters is founded. In our lessons, we strive to teach that to be fair is to do good. We are all daughters of God, and by close ties we are related to the Masonic Fraternity, that organization which stands for the brotherhood of humanity. While Job’s Daughters is no part of this fraternity, there is a great work for us to do. The lessons which we learn here assist us in building our own individual character. We must learn and practice reverence for God, loyalty to our flag, respect for our elders and love for all the world. In the story of Job we learn that if amid all the temptations of life we remain faithful to our Creator, we will be enriched with His blessings. Before you continue your journey, we ask you to take an Obligation to live in accordance with our teachings. This will be given by our Chaplain. Guide and Marshal, you will conduct them west of the Altar (Is Seated).
