THE ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR
PURPOSES
Dr. Robert Morris, the poet laureate of Masonry, founded this Order using beautiful and inspiring biblical examples of heroic conduct and moral values to portray the noble principles which should adorn the personal lives of Eastern Stars. Eastern Star strives to take good people and through uplifting and elevating associations of love and service, through precept and example, build an Order which is truly dedicated to Charity, Truth and Lovingkindness. The magnitude of the Order has grown beyond the fondest dreams of its founder-conclusive evidence of its need, its worth, and its value to society.
