are to assist him in the government of it. I firmly rely on your knowledge of Masonry, and attachment to the Lodge, for the faithful discharge of the duties of this important trust.—Look well to the West.
The Senior Warden takes his appointed station.
The Junior Warden is then brought up with the same ceremonies; and the same obligation being administered, he receives the following charge:
THE JUNIOR WARDEN.
Brother E. F., you are appointed Junior Warden of this Lodge, and are now invested with the badge of your office.
The Plumb admonishes us to walk uprightly in our several stations; to hold the scales of justice in equal poise; to observe the just medium between intemperance and pleasure; and to make our passions and prejudices coincide with the line of our duty.
To you is committed the superintendence of the craft during the hours of refreshment; it is, therefore, indispensably necessary that you should not only be temperate and discreet in the indulgence of your own inclinations, but carefully observe that none of the craft be suffered to convert the purposes of refreshment into intemperance and excess.
Your regular and punctual attendance is particularly requested; and I have no doubt that you will faithfully execute the duty which you owe to your present appointment.—Look well to the South.
The Junior Warden takes his appointed station.
