Duncan's Masonic Ritual and Monitor - Rose Croix

Junior Deacon here steps forward and whispers in the Senior Deacon's ear, "Tubal Cain."
S. D.--The pass is right; you will wait with patience until the Worshipful Master is
informed of your request and his answer returned.
The Deacon then closes the door, repairs to the centre of the Lodge-room before the altar,
and sounds his rod on the floor three times (• • •), which is responded to by the Master
with three raps of the gavel, when the Senior Deacon makes the sign of a Master Mason
(see Fig. 6, p. 18), and says:
p. 90
S. D.--Brother Gabe, who has been regularly initiated Entered Apprentice, passed to the
Degree of Fellow Craft, and now wishes to receive further light in Masonry, by being
raised to the sublime Degree of a Master Mason.
W. M.--Is it of his own free-will and accord?
S. D.--It is.
W, M.--Is he worthy and well qualified, duly and truly prepared?
S. D.--He is.
W. M.--Has he made suitable proficiency in the preceding degree?
S. D.--He has.
W. M.--And properly vouched for?
S. D.--He is.
W. M.--Who vouches for him?
S. D--A brother.
W. M.--By what further right or benefit does he expect to gain admission?
S. D.--By the benefit of the password.
W. M.--Has he that pass?
S. D.--He has it not, but I have it for him.
W. M.--Advance, and give it me.
The Senior Deacon steps to the Master, and whispers in his ear, "Tubal Cain."
