The new Master is conducted to the East and placed on the right of the
Installing Officer until the other officers are installed.

The other officers are then severally presented by the Marshal to the
Installing Officer, who delivers to each his appropriate charge.

Senior Warden.

Inst. Off.: Brother ---- ----, you have been elected Senior Warden of
this Lodge. Do you solemnly promise that you will serve the Lodge as
Senior Warden for the ensuing year, and will perform all the duties

appertaining to that office to the best of your ability? (He assents.)
You will now be invested with the insignia of your office.

The Plumb admonishes us to walk uprightly in our several stations; to do
unto others as we would have others do to us; to observe the just medium
between intemperance and pleasure, and make our passions and prejudices
coincide with the line of our duty.
