The Roll of living Brethren is called by the Secretary. Those present will answer to their names, and an appointed Brother will give an apology for those absent. The name of the deceased Brother will be called last. This will be done three times, and, after the third calling, the appointed Brother will rise and say, “Worshipful Master, our Brother has been summoned to the Grand Lodge Above”.

Let us pray.

!R ¨‫ي‬

We pray for the continuance of thy divine blessing, O Lord, that we, who now come after those who have preceded us, receive from their hands the Torch of Truth and run with enduring faithfulness the race that is set before us.

Grant unto us a continuation of thy protection and inspiration. Keep us within the bounds of Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude and Justice, so that we may be received into thine everlasting Kingdom, there to enjoy the refreshment of thy glorious presence throughout the endless cycles of eternity.
