HIRAM, TYRIAN, WIDOW'S SON, SENDETH TO KING SOLOMON.
The candidate is here instructed how to read the
words when challenged by any stranger, which is
as follows:--
R. W. M.--Hiram.
Candidate--Tyrian.
R. W. M.--Widow's.
Candidate--Son.
R. W. M.--Sendeth.
Candidate--To.
R. W. M.--King.
Candidate--Solomon.
R. W. M. (pointing to the centre within the circle
of these letters.)--Within this circle of letters
every Mark Master Mason must place his own
private mark, which may be any device he may
choose to select; and when you have selected
your mark, and it is once regularly recorded in
the Book of Marks of this or any other Lodge of
which you may be chosen a member, you have no
more right to change it than you have to change
your own name.
Marks are not generally recorded; this duty is
very much neglected--it should be done, and
strictly enforced in every Lodge.
Master reads to candidate: "He that hath an ear to
hear, let him hear."--Rev. iii. 13.
