Duncan's Masonic Ritual and Monitor - Rose Croix

Q. How did the Senior Warden dispose of you?
A. He ordered me to be conducted to the Worshipful Master in the east, who informed me
that I had arrived at a place rep-resenting the Middle Chamber of King Solomon's
Temple, where I would be received and recorded as such; which record was then made by
the Secretary (by the orders of the Worshipful Master), and I was presented with the
wages of a Fellow Craft, and also the jewels of a Fellow Craft.
Q. What are the wages of a Fellow Craft?
A. The corn of nourishment, the wine of refreshment, and the oil of joy.
Q. What do they denote?
A. Peace, harmony, and strength.
Q. What are the jewels of a Fellow Craft?
A. An attentive ear, an instructive tongue, and a faithful breast.
Q. How explained?
A. The attentive ear receives the sound from the instructive tongue, and the mysteries of
Masonry are lodged in the repository of a faithful breast.
Q. What were you next shown?
A. The letter G.
Q. To what does it allude?
A. Geometry, the fifth science; but more particularly to the sacred name of the Deity, to
whom we should all, from the Youngest Entered Apprentice who stands in the northeast
corner, to the Worshipful Master who presides in the east, with reverence most devoutly
and humbly bow.
