And thou, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion. — Jtficah, c. iv, v. 8. The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies ; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth : for they shall feed and lie dov^^n, and none shall make them afraid. — Zeph, c. iii, v. 13. And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for men, nor waiteth for the sons of men. — JUicah, c.v, v.7, [Then all the Brethren shall stand up, and raising their hands up to their foreheads, making the tips of the thumbs an4 r the two forefingers touch. The Chaplain, or, i|i his * '-" absence, the Master, shall say :] Let us pray. : - W ORD we beseech thee, in the •*^ fulness of our hearts, to keep us in peace and contentment.

Let sincerity be our guide, and cut off those from amongst us who shall practice deceit before thee; but let not their sin fall upon us ; visit not us with the iniqui- ties of other evil doers, for in thy sight, O Lord, none can justify. Teach us, O Lord ; while encompassed by our enemies, while strangers seek our ruin, teach us to overcome them, and let their persecutions fall upon us as dew that refresheth the parched earth. Lord teach us to perpetuate and ever exalt the names of thy servants, who are willing and able, from their exalted station, to defend thy Protestant creatures from the powers of Popery and Idolatry. Enable us, O Lord, at all times, to discern between thy true servants and faithful followers, and those who would lead us, by the false way, to worship thee. Let their names be to us for a beacon, and their virtues as mirrors for our souls. — Jlmen. , [The Master shall then declare the Lodge duly opened.] m — <- ??*; 1*1 f) intujyl ^f ^mtv^'^ntii^m :Ji9r' [The usual business of the Lodge having been disposed of, the Master shall direct the Sponsors of the Brethren to • '^ be introduced to proceed to the preparation room to bring ) . in the Candidate, the two Sponsors each bearing, an Orange Rod, decorated with Purple Ribbons, and between them the Brother, carryinjv the liible in his right, and the Regulation Book in his Icit hand ; they shall thus return to the Lodge-room door, and, in asking for admission, ' they shall knock and make a noise ns if in trouble.] MAaTER.-^ What lamentations do we hear in Israeli .
