Used "Masonic After Dinner Speaking" /First Edition 1985 Good condition, no missing pages- check images for condition. My own private owned book that was given to me before my first Grand Master Dinner Speech. "Begin low, Speak slow; Take fire,Rise higher; When most impressed Be self-possessed: At the end wax warm, And sit down in a storm." A tap on the shoulder during the meal, followed by a request to propose the toast to the visitors is for many a Mason an end to his enjoyment of what had promised to be a happy evening. It is a sad fact that what ought to be one of the most attractive features of Lodge after-proceed-ings can so often become a source of worry to the speaker and of boredom to his audience. The object of this book is to provide sufficient elementary instruction to enable any Mason to rise with some degree of confidence and to speak for the required few minutes without disgrace.
