Supreme Grand Lodge, and Grand Encampment. There are three degrees to be
conferred in a Subordinate Lodge (each of them illustrating one of the three
tenets, F.L.T.), plus the initiatory degree at the beginning: 1) the First, or Degree
of Friendship, 2) the Second, or Degree of Brotherly Love, and 3) the Third, or
Degree of Truth. As in Freemasonry, there are also high degrees, called
Encampment. The meeting place of the latter is not called lodge but
Encampment room. There are three Encampment degrees: 1) the Patriarchal, or
First Encampment Degree, 2) the Golden Rule, or Second Encampment Degree,
and 3) the Royal Purple, or Third Encampment Degree.
The officers of a Subordinate Lodge are the Noble Grand, next to him the
Right Supporter and the Left Supporter, then the Secretary, the Treasurer, the
Warden, the Conductor, the Past Grand, the Chaplain, the Right Scene
Supporter, the Left Scene Supporter, the Vice Grand and his two Supporters, the
Inside Guardian, and the Outside Guardian. Thus, the officers correspond more
or less to those of a Masonic lodge. There is also an anteroom or preparation
room.
