TYLER’s TOAST / POINT LEFT RIGHT, & POCKET, HEART, HAND THREE TIMES
NB: I hope brethren will see this TFTEM as an upgrade to its old March 1989 version.
In Jurisdictions where such a Toast is not held, it is the LAST Toast of the evening.
At the end of the “South” (the meal), the final toast/charge is delivered by the Tyler. The words discussed here are the ones used after the initial charge; ie.,
“To all poor and distressed Freemasons wherever scattered over the face of land or sea, wishing them a speedy relief from all their sufferings and a safe return to their native land if they so desire.”
This charge is then followed with;
“Point Left, Right, Three times; Pocket, Heart, Hand” .(This is performed Three times) (The Tyler leads this action - What does it mean? How should we perform it?)
