After the presentation OF the chart the folio
masonic ode written for the OCCASION was sung by the
choir
Hail TO IN. day. that eemeuts our Low d band;
Hall 10 the day that sends peace through the land
Let Masons rejoice spread the glad tidines vide
Our uniens pleted, never more TO divide.
This day sees tn. blest contamination Of love;
The olive branch borne in the bssk Of the dove;
Prosperity smiles and bright Virtue stands pleased
Chat the demon Of Diseoss has at length been sppessd
Hsyv neer from the pathway Of Peace again stray,
Nor forget to pluck wisdom from lites stormy way
That our future career may vith pleasure abound
when sweet mystical love does our circle surrousd
To.he great Divine Arohitest let us give thanks,
That us wisdom has brought MS in brothery rsaks;
Lstthe mantle Of Charity cover all faults,
And from danger and faction we're safe from ults
