Then here's a hand, my trusty frien',
And gie's a hand o' thine,
We'll take a right gude willie waught
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Code of Procedure, except so far as one may be prescribed by the
Supreme Council.
3. Charges and specifications may be amended at any stage of
the proceedings.
4. If the sentence be suspension or expulsion from all Masonic
rights, it shall not take full effect until confirmed by the Council
of Deliberation or the Supreme Council, but shall operate as a
temporary suspension until thus confirmed or reversed.
5. In all such cases when there is no appeal, a full transcript
of the record and the evidence shall be laid before the Council of
Deliberation at its next session, or if the time before such next

of the appeal a judgment of suspension or expulsion is not
vacated, but operates as a temporary suspension.
