COMPASSES PLACED IN A LODGE OF FELLOW CRAFT MASONS,
''ONE POINT ELEVATED ABOVE THE SQUARE.'' (See Note B.)
Wardens, Senior and .Junior Deacons; yet seven,
besides the Tyler, generally officiate, and take
their seats as in the Entered Apprentice Degree.
(See Plate, page 8.)
When the Lodge is opened on the Fellow Craft
Degree, the altar is arranged as represented in the
accompanying engraving.
We will suppose the Lodge to be opened on the
Fellow Craft Degree, and Mr. Gabe, who has
previously taken the degree of Entered

W. M.--Brother Junior Deacon, you will take
with you the necessary assistance and repair to
the ante-room, where there is a candidate in
waiting for the second degree in Masonry; and
when you have him prepared, make it known by
the usual sign.
The Junior Deacon, with the two Stewards
accompanying him, steps to the centre of the
Lodge, makes the duegard and sign of a Fellow
Craft, and passes out of the Lodge into the anteroom.
(For duegard and sign see Figs. 3 and 4,
page 17.)
J. D.--Well, Brother Gabe, you will have to be
prepared for this Degree as all have been before
you. You, of course, can have no serious
objection?
Brother Gabe.--I have not.
