Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, A.F. &' A.M. of Missouri: Thank you, Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinguished Guests, Brethren, Ladies and Gentlemen: You must know how great an honor it has been for me to represent you brethren this past year as your Grand Orator, and it is an honor to address you on this very solemn but joyous occasion. I trust that God will give me the ability to impart to you a few thoughts that you may carry home with you. I would share with you tonight an experience which is mine normally each month. May I recreate for you one of the naturalization ceremonies over which I have presided. The ceremony is aimed at impressing the new citizens. Before court opens the Color Guard posts the flags.
