A Grand Chapter must be held in a retired place, on

allowed, at as early an hour of the night as practicable.
The presiding officer sits facing the moonlight. He is
styled "Lieutenant Commander." The Commander is
unknown to the members. The other officers are—the
Warden of the North, the Warden of the South, the
Orator, styled "Knight of Eloquence," the Secretary,-
styled " Knight of the Chancery," the Treasurer, styled
" Knight of the Finances," the Mastei of Ceremonies,
the Warder, who acts as Captain of the Guards, and the
Standard Bearer, who stands at the right hand of the
Lieutenant Commander. The Knights are styled
" Prussian Knight-Masons."
