officer's station, east, south, and west, they give one sound with their gavels, viz.: first the Master, one (•): J. W., one (•); S. W., one (•); which has a good effect on the candidate, the sounds being near his ears as he passes by (his conductor generally passing close up). Having passed once around the Lodge, they halt at the Junior Warden's station in the south. J. W. (gives one rap; conductor one.)--Who comes here? Conductor (S. D.)--Mr. Peter Gabe. who has long been in darkness, and now seeks to be brought to light, and to receive a part in the rights and benefits of this Worshipful Lodge, erected to God, and dedicated to the holy St. John, as all brothers and fellows have done before. J. W.--Mr. Gabe, is it of your own free will and accord? Mr. Gabe--It is. S. D. CONDUCTING CANDIDATE ONCE AROUND THE LODGE--FIRST DEGREE (ENTERED APPRENTICE) J. W.--Brother Senior Deacon, is he worthy and well qualified? S. D.--He is. J. Ws--Duly and truly prepared? S. D.--Re is.
p. 32 J. W.--Of lawful age, and properly vouched for? S. D.--He is. J. W.--By what further right or benefit does he expect to gain admission? S. D.--By being a man, free born, of good repute, and well recommended. J. W.--Since he is in possession of all these necessary qualifications, I will suffer him to pass on to the Senior Warden's station in the west. Senior Warden, disposing of him in the same manner as the Junior Warden, suffers him to pass on to the Worshipful Master in the east, who makes the same inquiries as did the Wardens in the south and west, after which the Master says: W. M.--From whence come you, and whither are you travelling? S. D.--From the west, and travelling toward the east. W. M.--Why leave you the west and travel toward the east? S. D.--In search of light. W. M.--Since light is the object of your search, you will reconduct the candidate, and place him in charge of the Senior Warden in the west, with my orders that he teach this candidate to approach the east, the place of light, by advancing with one upright, regular step to the first stop, the heel of his right placed in the hollow of his left foot, his body erect at the altar (see Fig. 14), before the Worshipful Master in the east. Senior Deacon conducts candidate back to the Senior Warden in the west, and says: S. D.--Brother Senior Warden, it is the orders of the Worshipful Master, that you teach this candidate to approach the east, the place of light, by advancing on one regular upright step to the first stop; the heel of his right foot in the hollow of his left (see Fig. 14, p. 93), his body erect at the altar before the Worshipful Master in the east. Senior Warden leaves his seat, comes down to the candidate, faces him towards the Worshipful Master, and requests him to step off with his left foot, bringing the heel of his right in the hollow of his left (see step 1, Fig. 14, page 93--before the candidate is requested to do this, he is led by the Warden within one pace of the altar). Senior Warden reports to the Worshipful Master. S. W.--The candidate is in order, and awaits your further will and pleasure.
