The line Believest thou this? comes from a moment in the Gospel of John when Jesus speaks to Martha after telling her that Lazarus will rise; he asks, “Believest thou this?” This exact question reflects Martha’s response of faith in that scene. In the Order of the Eastern Star, the Pass Word associated with the character Martha is derived from that moment, highlighting her declaration of faith. So, the line is tied specifically to Martha, which is why that pass fits her. The other names are linked to different biblical episodes and phrases, not this particular question.

Blue Violet is tied to the virtue of Faithfulness. In the Order of the Eastern Star, each color and heroine is paired with a specific virtue, and the blue-violet color links to Adah’s example of loyalty and steadfast commitment. Faithfulness means staying true to one's duties, promises, and those you serve, even when challenges arise. That steadfast loyalty is what Blue Violet is meant to teach. The other options don’t correspond to the established associations for this hue—frequent isn’t a virtue in this context, constant is not the formal term used here, and pure speaks to purity rather than faithful loyalty.

In the Order of the Eastern Star, each point of the star is named for a Biblical heroine, and the first point is Adah, who embodies fidelity. That’s why Adah sits at the first point. The other names—Ruth, Esther, and Martha—represent the remaining points on the star, not the first.

At the heart of the Warder’s role is guarding the door and keeping order during ceremonies. The Warder stands at the entrance to monitor who enters, ensuring that only members and authorized guests are admitted while rituals are in progress. This duty helps maintain the decorum and smooth flow of the chapter’s ceremonies, and the Warder may also assist by announcing visitors or guiding members during processions or entrances and exits. Other officers handle the tasks of leading prayers (typically the Chaplain), overseeing finances (the Treasurer), and presenting the annual report (usually the Secretary). So, guarding the door and maintaining order during ceremonies is the function that best matches the Warder’s responsibilities.
