ENTERED APPRENTICE'S APRON.
conferred on you at this
time, or any future period, by kings, princes, and
potentates, or any other persons, except it be by
Masons. I trust that you will wear it with equal
pleasure to yourself and honor to the fraternity.
You will carry it to the Senior Warden in the
west, who will teach you how to wear it as an
Entered Apprentice.
Deacon conducts candidate back to the west, and
says:
S. D.--Brother Senior Warden, it is the order of
the Worshipful Master, that you teach this newmade
brother how to wear his apron as an
Entered Apprentice.
The Senior Warden takes the apron and ties it on
the candidate, with the flap turned up, remarking
to the candidate as he does so: This is the way,
Brother Gabe, that Entered Apprentices wore
their aprons at the building of King Solomon's
Temple, and so you will wear yours until further
advanced. Senior Deacon now reconducts the
candidate to the Worshipful Master in the east.

W. M.--Brother Gabe, agreeably to an ancient
custom, adopted among Masons, it is necessary
that you should be requested to deposit
something of a metallic kind or nature, not for its
intrinsic valuation, but that it may be laid up
among the relics in the archives of this Lodge, as
a memento that you were herein made a Mason.
Anything, brother that you may have about you,
of a metallic nature, will be thankfully received-a
button, pin, five or ten cent piece--anything, my
brother.
