You will now each be invested with the badge of your office, and conducted to your stations.
Grand Officers.
G. M. It is with pleasure that I present, for installation, Sister ——, appointed to be Grand Warder, and Brother ——, appointed to be Grand Sentinel.
Grand ——. My sister and brother, you are, respectively, the inner and outer guards of the Grand Chapter. Upon you, therefore, we rely to preserve that secrecy which is essential to our proceedings, and to see that our ceremonies are not interrupted by untimely alarms, and to discharge such other duties as appertain to your office. A prompt and faithful discharge of these responsibilities will afford the best evidence of your attachment for the tenets and professions of our Order.
You will be invested with your respective badges of office, and conducted to your stations within and without the door of the Grand Chapter.
G. M. It is my pleasant duty to present for installation, Sister ——, appointed to serve as Grand Organist for the ensuing year.
Grand ——. My sister, your duties are embodied in the name of your office, admonishing you that by uniting music and harmony with our mystic lessons the ceremonials of our Order will prove more lasting.
