Who sits at the fourth point?

• A. Ruth
• B. Adah
• C. Martha
• D. Esther

Answer: (C)

In the Order of the Eastern Star, the star’s five points are each linked to a specific heroine, and there’s a fixed order around the star. The standard sequence is Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, Electa. The fourth position in that order is Martha, so she sits at the fourth point. This mapping helps with study questions because remembering which name goes with which point is the key to answering correctly. The other names correspond to the remaining points.
