W. Bro. Toastmaster, M.W. Grand Master and brethren;
It is a pleasure for me to have this opportunity to propose a
toast to our visiting brethren. A visit is a most gratifying
experience among freemasons. Since this lodge was constituted we
have enjoyed receiving visitors from all quarters of the world.
Many of our own members have had the opportunity and privilege
of visiting lodges in our own country and internationally. May
you continue to visit our lodge, as the hand of fellowship is
always extended.
Brethren of .... Lodge, will you please be upstanding and drink
with me a toast to our visiting brethren
To our visitors. |

W. Bro. Toastmaster,
R.W. District Deputy Grand Master, brethren;
It is a pleasure to
have this opportunity to propose, what I consider the most
important toast of the evening, a toast to our visitors. A visit
among freemasons is always a gratifying experience. Visiting is
a form of communication. We impart and receive knowledge, ideas
and, most important: expressions of friendship and brotherhood.
But are we communicators? Do we pass on that which we have
received from one to another? If that which is received from a
brother ends with us it might as well not been said. The
brethren of this lodge hope that their message of friendship and
brotherhood is worthy of being passed on.
Brethren of .... Lodge, Please assist me in communicating our
friendship and brotherhood and be upstanding for a toast.
To the visitors. |

Bro. Toastmaster and
brethren.
What can I say about
visiting that has not been so eloquently said by my predecessors
in this pleasant duty? We are all visitors on this sublunary
abode but this evening we have had the pleasure of welcoming you
to our own small part of it. And I now have the humble
distinction of calling my brethren to further extend that
welcome. Brethren, please be upstanding for a toast.
To the visitors. |

Bro. Toastmaster and
brethren.
A Toast to all our
differences
A Toast to common ground
A Toast to what we're seeking
A Toast to what we've found
To what brings us together
To what sets us apart
A Toast to many different souls
United with one heart.
To the visitors ...
