Masonic Toasts

Brothers -

I am compiling a list of Masonic Toasts as used at Masonic Functions
(e.g., Table Lodges). I am collecting these toasts for a year-end
holiday article. If you have got a toast that is unique, unusual, or
inspiring that you would like to share with us, please e-mail it to me at:

timb001@phmainstreet.com

Please give credit to authorship and include a little background as to
the circumstances which led to the toast (what was the occasion or
what is its purpose or history?).

Any help would be appreciated.

All the Best,

This sounds interesting.. Let's bring back the Festive Boards....

Here is one I found:

Quote:

"To him that all things understood,

To him that found the stone and wood,

To him that hapless lost his blood

In doing of his duty.

To that blest age, and that blest morn

Wherein those three great men were born,

Our noble science to adorn

With Wisdom, Strength and Beauty."

Bro. Dale -

Yes, we should bring back the Festive Boards. Unfortunately, a lot of
people have forgotten what they are all about and how to conduct them.

And thanks for the additional quote.

All the Best,
Tim Bryce

Brother Dale:

How about a posting from the staff regarding the correct manner in which to put on a proper Masonic Festive Board? I have never been to one, but was invited to one a few months back.

Interesting Brother Christians, Festive Boards went out of favor a long time ago, at least in my part of the country. Let me see what I can locate for you on the correct manner in which to put on a festive board.
