Murray Lyon should be appointed to the office of Prior of the Ayr Priory .

credit upon those who had been instrumental in introducing him into the Craft .

to the service of the priory , and should he do so with anything like the spirit which characterised his career in the capacity of their Secretary , the priory was bound to prosper . The motion having been unanimously and most enthusiastically agreed to , Prater Lyon signified his acceptance of the office , and thanked the Sir Knights for his renewed expression of their confidence in him . He was then duly installed into the office of Prior . There was a large attendance of Sir Knihts on this occasion

Lyon , who assured the Sir Knights that he would leave no stone unturned in the defence of the rights and furtherance of the interests of the Priory over which he had so unexpectedly been called to preside . He
reciprocated the spirit in which their Sub-Prior had alluded , to his being one of his Masonic sons , and he was proud to acknowledge having received the orders of Craft , Royal Arch and Templar Masonry from the hands of so indefatigable a worker in the Masonic vineyard as Frater Glass , than whom he could say , without fear of contradiction , there were none in Ayrshire who had seen more Masonic service . Like other good men , Sub-Prior Glass had his enemies ; butwhen the lamps of all
, such were hopelessly extinguished , the light emitted from Bro . Glass ' s Masonic taper would continue to shed its radiance in the minds of many a noviciate . The newly-elected Prior called for the dedication of a bumper to the health of the Sub-Prior . On retiring from the office of Prior , Major Thornton
