Clark had said more of his qualities than he feared he should be able to fulfil , but as he had the cause of Masonry at heart , and as the Brethren had been pleased to place him in that
chair , he would use his best endeavours to promote the spirit of Masonry and the harmony and good feeling of the Lodge , and when he recollected the excellent and correct example that had been set him by the worthy P . Ms , who sat on his left , he could but feel it his duty to emulate that good example , and thus promote the interests of the Craft . After the usual complimentary toasts of the evening had been drunk , and the last toast of the evening moved , the Brethren were informed that the hour for separation had arrived , and each , departed much pleased with this Masonic re-union .
