26-i I300K OF THE A. AND A. RITE.
Sovereign Creator of all tilings and source of light
and life, who providest for all our necessities, bless
the nourishment for the body we are about to take,
and make it to give us strength to labor for thy glory
and the advancment of all the great interests of
humanity. Amen.
* *
Take ; eat, and give to the hungry !
Take ; drink, and give to the thirsty ! * *
Peace be with you, my brethren, and remain with
you always. Remember that your duty is, not to be
better than your brethren, but to be better than your-
selves ;
that the more you have, the more you owe to
those who need assistance. The Peace of our Mas-
ter be with you always.
Note.—This Ceremony is a manifestation of fraternal love, as
Inculcated by Masonic philosophy. Rose-Croix Knights after the
benediction silently disperse, and the Chapter remains at refreshment
until regularly convened or called by the Most Wise . Thua
a Rose-Croix Chapter is seldom if ever closed, as the Table
Ceremony is indispensable whenever there is a call to refreshment,
which should be at every assembling.
While the Knights quietly disperse, the following may
appropriately be sung by the Choir.
HYMN.
