Page 61 - LESTER'S LOOK TOTHE EAST

J.W. (calls up the Lodge with three raps.) Brethren, it is the will and
pleasure of the Worshipful Master in the East that the Lodge be now
called from labor to refreshment for the purpose of opening a Lodge of
Fellow Crafts. Take notice and govern yourselves accordingly.—Look to
the East!

W.M. Brethren, we are at refreshment. Brother Junior Deacon, inform
the Tyler. Brother Senior Deacon, arrange the three Great Lights.

The Three Great Lights are closed. The Wardens reverse their
columns, erect in the South, down in the West.

OPENING A LODGE OF FELLOW CRAFTS.

W.M. to S.W. Brother Senior Warden, proceed to satisfy yourself that
all present are Fellow Crafts.

The Senior Warden rises and makes a personal observation of each
person present. He then requests the Senior and Junior Deacons to give
to him, in a whisper, the pass of a Fellow Craft and to demand it, under
the same condition, from each person present except the Master, Senior
Warden and Junior Warden. After this is done the Junior Deacon
communicates the pass to the Senior Deacon and he to the Master.

W.M. to S.W. The pass is -----.

S.W. All present are Fellow Crafts.

The Master calls up the Senior and Junior Deacons by one rap.

W.M. to J.D. Brother Junior Deacon, what is the first great care of
Masons when in Lodge assembled?

J.D. To see that the Lodge is duly tyled, Worshipful Master.

W.M. Perform that duty. Inform the Tyler that I am about to open a
Lodge of Fellow Crafts, and direct him to tyle accordingly.

The Junior Deacon then goes to the door, opens it, and finding the
Tyler at his post, duly armed, he communicates the Master's order and
shuts the door.

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

W.M. How are we tyled, brother Junior Deacon?
