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.
