Junior Warden.
Inst. Off.: Brother ---- ----, you have been elected Junior Warden of
this Lodge. Do you solemnly promise that you will serve the Lodge as
Junior Warden for the ensuing year, and will perform all the duties
appertaining to that office to the best of your ability? (He assents.)
You will now be invested with the insignia of your office.
The Plumb admonishes us to walk uprightly in our several stations; to do
unto others as we would have others do to us; to observe the just medium
between intemperance and pleasure, and make our passions and prejudices
coincide with the line of our duty.
In the absence of the Master and Senior Warden upon you devolves the
government of the Lodge; but to you is especially committed the
superintendence of the Craft during the hours of refreshment; it is,
therefore, not only necessary that you should be temperate and discreet
in the indulgence of your own inclinations, but carefully observe that
none of the Craft convert the purpose of refreshment into intemperance
or excess. Look well to the South. Guard with vigilance the pillar
committed to your charge, that nothing may disturb the harmony of the
Lodge or mar its beauty.
He is conducted to his proper station.
Treasurer.
Inst. Off.: Brother ---- ----, you have been elected Treasurer of this
Lodge and will now be invested with the jewel of your office.
It is your duty to receive all moneys belonging to the Lodge from the
Secretary, keep a just and true account thereof, and pay them out by
order of the Worshipful Master and consent of the Lodge. Your own honor
and the confidence the brethren repose in you will arouse you to that
faithfulness in the discharge of the duties of your office which its
important nature demands.
He is conducted to his station.
Secretary.
Inst. Off.: Brother ---- ----, you have been elected Secretary of this
Lodge, and will now be invested with the jewel of your office.
It is your duty to "keep a faithful record of all things pertaining to
the Lodge, proper to be written, transmit a copy of the same to the
Grand Lodge when required, receive all moneys due the Lodge and pay them
to the Treasurer, taking his receipt for the same."
Your love for the Craft and attachment to the Lodge will induce you
cheerfully to fulfill the very important duties of your office, and in
so doing you will merit the esteem of your brethren.
He is conducted to his station.
Chaplain.
Inst. Off.: Brother ---- ----, you have been appointed Chaplain of this
Lodge, and will now be invested with the jewel of your office.
