Which list correctly names the five heroines after whom the star points are named?

• A. Adah, Ruth, Esther, Electa, Lydia
• B. Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, Electa
• C. Adah, Ruth, Martha, Esther, Electa
• D. Ruth, Esther, Martha, Adah, Electa

Answer: (B)

In the Order of the Eastern Star, each point of the star is named for a specific heroine, and the traditional five names are Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, Electa. The list that includes exactly these five names—Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, Electa—is the correct one, because Lydia does not belong to the set. The other options introduce a name that isn’t one of the star-point heroines or omit one of the correct names, so they don’t match the standard five.
