Grand ——. My ——, our beautiful Order founded upon the moral teachings of the Holy Scripture, everywhere, and on all occasions, acknowledges the existence and providence of God. Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain. You have been chosen Grand Chaplain, and as such it will be your duty to conduct the devotional exercises of this Grand Chapter, and superintend and promote its charitable and benevolent objects. These will afford a wide field of usefulness, and may you be so successful in pointing to the "Star in the East" that all will be induced to follow it, until they meet in the Grand Chapter above.
Grand Chaplain.
You will now be invested with your badge of office, and take your station on the right of the Grand Matron.
G. M. Grand ——, it is with pleasure I present —— ——, appointed Grand Lecturer.
Grand ——. —— ——, to you is intrusted the work of the Order, its rites, traditions, and ceremonies, and it will be your duty to exemplify the same, whenever called upon by this Grand Chapter, and see that they are intelligently performed by the subordinate Chapters of this jurisdiction. To discharge these duties well, will require much time, study and observation upon your part; but we trust that your attachment to the principles of our Order, and zeal in promoting its interests, will lead you to the faithful discharge of your duties.
Receive the jewel and emblem of your office, and take your station in the South.
G. M. Grand ——, I now have the pleasure of presenting —— ——, for installation, as Grand Marshal.
Grand ——. —— ——, the post assigned to you is one of honor and responsibility. It is your duty to superintend and marshal all processions of the Grand Chapter, assist in all its public and private ceremonies, conduct and proclaim the officers at the time of installation, and perform such other duties as pertain to your office.
