S. D.--And properly vouched for?<br />

J. D.--He is.<br />

S. D.--Who vouches for him?<br />

J. D--A brother.<br />

S. D.--By what further right, or benefit, does he<br />

expect to gain admission?<br />

J. D.--By the benefit <strong>of</strong> a pass.<br />

S. D.--Has he that pass?<br />

J. D.--He has it not, but I have it for him.<br />

S. D.--Advance, and give me the pass. (Some say,<br />

advance the pass.)<br />

Junior Deacon whispers in the Senior Deacon's<br />

ear the pass-word, "Shibboleth."<br />

S. D.--The pass is right. You will wait with<br />

patience until the Worshipful Master is informed<br />

<strong>of</strong> your request, and his answer returned.<br />

The Senior Deacon then closes the door, and<br />

repairs to the centre <strong>of</strong> the Lodge, before the<br />

Worshipful Master in the east, and sounds his rod<br />

twice on the floor, which is responded to by the<br />

Master with his gavel, when the same<br />

interrogations and answers are repeated by the<br />

Master and Deacon as at the door. The Master<br />

then says:<br />

W. M--Let him enter, in the name <strong>of</strong> the Lord,<br />

and be received in due form.
