MORGAN'S EXPOSE OF FREEMASONRY.
CEREMONIES OF OPENING A LODGE OF ENTERED APPRENTICE MASONS. One rap calls the Lodge to order; one calls up the Junior and Senior
Deacons; two raps call up the subordinate officers; and three, all the
members of the Lodge. The Master having called the Lodge to order, and the officers all
seated, the Master says to the Junior Warden, "Brother Junior, are
they all Entered Apprentice Masons in the South?" He answers, "They
are, Worshipful." Master to the Senior Warden, "Brother Senior, are
they all Entered Apprentice Masons in the West?" He answers, "They
are, Worshipful." The Master then says, "They are in the East;" at the
same time he gives a rap with the common gavel, or mallet, which calls
up both Deacons. Master to Junior Deacon, "Attend to that part of your
duty, and inform the Tyler that we are about to open a Lodge of
Entered Apprentice Masons; and direct him to tyle accordingly." The
Tyler then steps to the door and gives three raps, which are answered
by three from without; the Junior Deacon then gives one, which is also
answered by the Tyler with one; the door is then partly opened, and
the Junior Deacon delivers his message and resumes his situation, and
says, "The door is tyled, Worshipful" (at the same time giving the
due guard, which is never omitted when the Master is addressed). The
Master to the Junior Deacon, "By whom?" He answers, "By a Master Mason
without the door, armed with the proper implements of his office."
Master to the Junior Deacon, "His duty there?" He answers, "To keep
off all cowans and eave droppers, see that none pass or repass without
permission from the Master." [Some say without permission from the
chair.] Master to Junior Deacon, "Brother Junior, your place in the
Lodge?" He answers, "At the right hand of the Senior Warden in the
West." Master to Junior Deacon, "Your business there, Brother Junior?"
He answers, "To wait on the Worshipful Master and Wardens, act as
their proxy in the active duties of the Lodge, and take charge of the
door." Master to Junior Deacon, "The Senior Deacon's place in the
Lodge?" He answers, "At the right hand of the Worshipful Master in the
East." [The Master, while asking the last question, gives two raps,
which call up all the subordinate officers.] Master to Senior Deacon,
"Your duty there, Brother Senior?" He answers, "To wait on the
Worshipful Master and Wardens, act as their proxy in the active duties
of the Lodge, attend to the preparation and introduction of
candidates and welcome and clothe all visiting brethren." [i.e.,
furnish them with an apron.] Master to Senior Deacon, "The Secretary's
place in the Lodge, Brother Senior?" He answers, "At the left hand of
the Worshipful Master in the East." Master to the Secretary, "Your
duty there, Brother Secretary?" He answers, "The better to observe
the Worshipful Master's will and pleasure, record the proceedings of
the Lodge; transmit a copy of the same to the Grand Lodge, if
required; receive all moneys and money bills from the hands of the
brethren, pay them over to the Treasurer, and take his receipt for the
same... Continue reading book >>
