THE INSTALLING MASTER'S GUIDE Or Installation Simplified

THE INSTALLING MASTER'S GUIDE or Installation Simplified. T. B. Ellery. A. Lewis Masonic Publishers, London. 1950 126pp. Hardback. This copy is bound in blue linen covered boards with blind borders and bright gilt titling to the front. There is some informed marginalia and revisions laid in. Every year, each Lodge holds an Installation, when a new Worshipful Master takes up his role and appoints his Officers for the year ahead. It is a big event in the Lodge's calendar, as it is an opportunity to give thanks to the outgoing Master for all his hard work, to give best wishes to his successor, and to pledge the support of the brethren to the new 'team'.As it is such an important event, a lot of preparation is put in by everyone, particularly the Worshipful Master, Secretary and Director of Ceremonies. However, as a newer mason you will also have an important part to play. You represent the future of the Lodge and, as the event is largely about looking forward, your presence will certainly add to the sense of occasion. Ref DD3.…
