the altar, and the Senior Warden makes the
following report to the Master:--
Worshipful Master, the candidate is now in order,
and awaits your further will and pleasure.
W. M.--Brother Senior Warden, you will place
him in due form for taking upon himself the
solemn oath or obligation of a Fellow Craft.
The Senior Warden, with the assistance of the
Senior Deacon, now causes the candidate to kneel
on his naked right knee, before the altar, making
his left knee form a square. His left arm, as far as
the elbow, should be held in a horizontal position,
and the rest of the arm in a vertical position,
forming another square--his arm supported by the
square, held under his elbow, and his right hand
resting on the open Bible. (See Fig. 10.)
W. M.--Brother Gabe, you are kneeling for the
second time at the sacred altar of Masonry, to
take upon yourself the solemn

oath or obligation of a Fellow Craft; and I take
pleasure, as Master of this Lodge, to say to you
(as on a former occasion), there is nothing in this
oath that will interfere with the duty that you owe
to your God, your family, country, neighbor, or
self. Are you willing to take it?
