Page 50 - LESTER'S LOOK TOTHE EAST

W.M. to S.W. Brother Senior Warden, it is my will and pleasure that ---
----- Lodge number -------- be now closed. Communicate this order to
the Junior Warden in the South, and he to the craft for their
government.

S.W. to J.W. Brother Junior Warden, it is the will and pleasure of the
Worshipful Master in the East that -------- Lodge number -------- be now
closed; communicate this order to the craft for their government.

J.W. to Lodge. Brethren, it is the will and pleasure of the Worshipful
Master in the East, communicated to me by the Senior Warden in the
West, that -------- Lodge number-------- be now closed; take notice and
govern yourselves accordingly.— LOOK TO THE EAST!

The signs are now given, the raps passed about the stations three
times, and the usual prayer is offered. When this is done, the Master
asks the following questions:

W.M. to S.W. Brother Senior Warden, how do Masons meet?

S.W. Upon the level, Worshipful Master.

W.M. Brother Junior Warden, how do Masons act?

J.W. Upon the plumb, Worshipful Master.

W.M. to Lodge. And they part upon the square. So may we meet, act
and part. May the blessings of heaven rest upon us and all regular
Masons! May brotherly love prevail, and every moral and social virtue
cement us! In the name of God and the Holy Saints John I declare this
Lodge closed in form. Brother Junior Deacon, inform the Tyler.

The Master gives three raps and the craft are dismissed. The Junior
Deacon gives three raps at the door, which are answered by the Tyler,
and as soon as the Master's orders are communicated to him, the door
is thrown open for the brethren to depart.

Meanwhile the Senior Deacon closes the Great Lights, and places
them on the Secretary's table, who secures them in the proper place.
The Lesser Lights are removed, and the Wardens reverse their columns,
down in the West, erect in the South.
