Installation of Officers at

World Famous Helena Lodge No. 3.

Installation of Helena Lodge No. 3 Officers. Installation conducted by
Sam Whitehead, R.W.Jr. Gr. Warden.

Brethren of Helena Lodge No. 3: Such is the nature of our Constitution, that as some must, of
necessity, rule and teach, so others must, of course, learn to submit and obey. Humility in both is
an essential duty. The others who are elected and appointed to govern your Lodge are sufficiently
conversant with the rules of propriety and laws of institution, to avoid exceeding the powers
with which they are entrusted, and you are of too generous disposition to envy their preferment.
I therefore trust that you will have but one aim - to please each other, and unite in the grand
design of being happy and communicating happiness. Finally my brethren, as this association has
been formed and perfected with so much unanimity and concord, in which we greatly rejoice,
so may it long continue. May you long enjoy every satisfaction and delight which disinterested
friendship can afford. May kindness and brotherly affection distinguish your conduct as men and
Masons. Within your peaceful walls may your children's children celebrate, with joy and gratitude,
and annual recurrence of this auspicious solemnity. And may the tenets of our profession be
transmitted through your Lodge, pure and unimpaired, from generation to generation.
