Earlier BA@MRCNEXT.CSO.UIUC.EDU  said this to RON BOUTWELL about Re: Hi
guys!:


B>The _Ritual of the Order of the Eastern STar_ which I have (from 1910)
B>states: attained the age of eighteen years,
B>are eleglible for membership in this Order.

B>I see no reason to assume that the membership requirements have
B>loosened, but it is possible, since the Ritual is old.

I too believe the rule still holds.  My argument was that OES as
Masonry in general, needs good members.  Excluding good
people because they are not related to a Mason or OES is
counter-productive.  Masonry will accept any man of high
character and moral values.  We still need members though.
I would assume it is even harder for OES due to the exclusionary
rule requiring a family member be already affiliated.
