W. M.--Brother Senior Warden, how should Masons meet? S. W.--On the Level. W. M.--And how act, Brother Junior? J. W.--On the Plumb. W. M.--And part on the Square; and so let us ever meet, act, and part. Master takes off his hat, and repeats the following prayer: "May the blessing of Heaven rest upon us, and all regular Masons; may brotherly love prevail, and every moral and social virtue cement us. Amen." Response--So mote it be. Some Lodges sing the following, to the air of "Bonny Doon"; "Adieu! a heart-warm, fond adieu, Ye brothers of our mystic tie, Ye favored and enlightened few, Companions of my social joy." See Monitors for balance of the verses. CHARGE AT CLOSING A LODGE BRETHREN:--You are now about to quit this sacred retreat of friendship and virtue, to mix again with the world. Amid its concerns and temptations, forget not the duties you have heard so frequently inculcated and so forcibly recommended in this Lodge. Be diligent, prudent,
