We are no doubt all familiar with the address to the Stewards at the installation of a new Master.
The words run something like this
“I invest you as steward of this Lodge with the collar and jewel of your office.
Your duties are to introduce visitors, and see that they are properly accommodated, to see that the tables are properly furnished at refreshment, that every Brother is suitably provided for, and generally to assist the Deacons in the performance of the duties of their respective offices”.
