M . next proposed " The Health of Sir Knight Henry Shute , the G . M . of the Order , " whose absence they all deplored , the more so as it was occasioned by a painful illness ; it had been determined that the festival should be held in honour of the natal day of Sir Knight Shute , and he was sure they would readily believe that it was a matter of deep regret to him that he could not be with them . The toast was drunk with much cordiality and enthusiasm . In proposing "The Healths of the Dukes of Athol and Leinster , as the G . Ms , of the Knights
Templar of Scotland and Ireland , '' the D . G .

In Scotland , the Knights Templar joined the fortunes of the heroic Bruce , and fought under his banner at the battle of Bannockburn , and they could boast among the lists of their G .

The toast was acknowledged by Sir Knight S . E . Taylor .
