Page 52 - LESTER'S LOOK TOTHE EAST

J.W. to Lodge. Brethren, it is the will and pleasure of the Worshipful
Master in the East that this Lodge now be called from labor to
refreshment for the space of fifteen minutes.—Look to the East!

The craft all turn to the Master in the East.

W.M. to Lodge. I declare this Lodge at refreshment for the space of
fifteen minutes. Brother Junior Deacon, inform the Tyler.

The Master dismisses the craft by one rap; the Junior Warden
communicates the Master's order to the Tyler, who opens the door.

The Great Lights are closed, the Senior and Junior Wardens reverse
their columns, down in the West, erect in the South; and the craft
disperse in charge of the Junior Warden, who reassembles them in the
Lodge at the expiration of the time appointed for refreshment. The
Lodge is then tyled in the same manner as in the opening, and the
Master proceeds as follows:

W.M. to J.W. Brother Junior Warden, how goes the hour?

J.W. One hour past high twelve, Worshipful Master.

W.M. to J.W. It being one hour past high twelve, you will call the craft
from refreshment to labor on the -------- degree.

The Junior Warden calls up the Lodge by three raps.

J.W. to Lodge. Brethren, it is the will and pleasure of the Worshipful
Master in the East that this Lodge be now called from refreshment to
labor on the -—-—— degree; take notice and govern yourselves
accordingly .—LOOK TO THE EAST!

The signs are given and the raps are passed about the stations
according to the degree the Lodge is called to labor on, with the same
care as at opening. Then the Master says:

W.M. to Lodge. I declare the Lodge at labor on the -------- degree;
brother Junior Deacon, inform the Tyler.

The Junior Deacon goes to the door and gives three knocks upon it,
which are answered with the same number of knocks by the Tyler, who
opens the door; the Junior Deacon informs him on what degree the
Lodge is at work, and he then closes the door and the Tyler locks it. The
Junior Deacon then reports as follows:

J.D. to W.M. The Lodge is duly tyled, Worshipful Master.
