 ought to follow us, for we have behaved not ourselves dis- 
 orderly among you, neitlier did we eat any man's bread for 
 nought ; but wrougiit with labour and travail night and day, 
 that we might not be chargeable to any ot you. — II Thes., c.

 from the power of Pharoah, and the perils of the Eed Sea : 
 by wliObe divine permission in aftertimes our liberties have 
 been secured, and our most holy Religion preserved, conLinue 
 unto us Thy Almighty favour : May Thy heavenly love be 
 the arch of our protection, and the increase of Thy Spirit 
 amongst us the special mark of our seal and covenant with 
 Thee. These, with all other needful blessings, we humbly 
 beg, througb the mediation of Jesus Christ, our Lord and 
 Saviour. — AriMn.

 The preparation of the (Jandidatu in to take j)lace in a room adjoining the 
 Lodge-room, and being properly prepared, the Candidate is to be con- 
 ducted between two Brethren aiiDoiuted for the purijose, to the Lodge- 
 room door, and on his approach tlic Tyler is to make the formal 
 announcement, which will bo responded to, and the proper challenge 
 given. The Inside Tyler making the proper in<iuirie8, and receiving 
 satisfactory answers, shall announce to the !Ma«ter that two Brethren, 
 with a worthy friend, seek admission. The Master shall then direct 
 them to be admitted. 
 
 The Candidate being introduced, the Receiver shall give him ... (p.) 
 
 The Receiver shall then say : 
 
 What feelest thou ?

 [The meaning is here to be explained.] 
 
 The Candidate being ordered to kneel on his right knee, and repeat the 
 
 Lord's Prayer. 
 
 The Chaplain shall then read the following portions of Scripture : 
 
 Moreover, thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains 
 of fine-twined linen, and Blue, and Purple, and Scarlet, and 
 thou shalt n.ake loops ot Blue upon the edge of one curtain, 
 from the selvege in the couphng, and thou shalt make a 
 longing for the door of the tent, of Blue, of Purple, and of 
 Scanet, and of fine-twined linf n. — Ex. 26 c. 
 
 Lord, I cry unto Thee : make haste unto me, give ear unto 
 my voice, when I cry unto Tliee, let my prayer be set before 
 Thee as incense ; and the lifting up of my hands as the 
 evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth ; 
 keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil 
 thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity ; 
 and let me not eat of their dainties. Let the righteous smite 
 me, it shall be a kindness ; and let him reprove me, it shall 
 be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head : for yet 
 my prayer also shall be in their calamities. When their 
 judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my 
 words, for they are sweet. Our bones are scattered at the 
 grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon 
 the earth. But mine eyes are unto Thee, O God the Lord ; in 
 Thfse is my trust, leave not my soul destitute. Keej) me from 
 the Snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the 
 workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, 
 whilst that I withal escape.— PsaZwis.

 path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a 
 snare for me; I looked on my right hand ana beheld, but

 man cared for my soul, I cried unto Thee, Lord : I said, 
 Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living,

 After which the Master shall deliver the following 
 
 CHARGE. 
 
 Brother, — You have been now admitted, after strict trial, 
 to this exhalted Degree, It must have proved to you many 
 facts, which, if duly thought of, may tend to inform your 
 mind, and to render less obdurate the propensity inherent 
 in man, to sin. Reflect, and you will see, that man is not 
 regarded by Orangemen on account of his worldly wealth; it 
 is the wealth of the soul that we prize, not that which when 
 we perish can avail nothing. Reflect, and you will have 
 good cause to remember bow much it has become your duty 
 to render assistance to a Brother in distress. Reflect, and 
 you wiU find that much of your duty is enforced upon you 
 
- 1 
 
 ROTAL ARCH PUBPLl MARK. 9 
 
 by implication, which a clear mind, seeking for justice, will 
 at once discover. 
 
 Remember, then, your duty and your obligations, and also 
 how fatal and dark will be vour plunge, from this to eternal 
 death, should you neglect them. Remember, alno, that it is 
 only by obedience to the Grea* Father in Heaven vou can 
 expect to T)a.ss from the darkness of this world to the light 
 of everlasting life, and that prayer, and the practice of all 
 that is good, together with a strong reliance iipou your 
 Saviour, can alone lead to this. Remember, too, that you 
 prayed as being under the canopy of Heaven, therefore take 
 tieed and recall to your mind the solemn hour of death, the 
 nwful one of judgment, and lastly, eternity. 
 
 A lesson has been taught you how these may be overcome; 
 and if you hope to gain eternal life, I warn you that it is 
 essential that you have faith; for uo one can, in his weakness 
 and sinfulness, expect to be perfect. If, therefore, you liope 
 for the charitable aid and intercession of oar Saviour, do 
 you extend CuARTTY to others. 
 
 In every way you are taught to avoid sin. Even when 
 least expected, the serpent may be in your path. I there- 
 fore entreat you, as you hope for salvation hereafter, that 
 you do not omit any occasion wnich you may fin*! oppor- 
 tunities to fulfil the vows you have now made. 
 
 The Lodge slmll be closed by the Master, with the Lord's Prayer— tlie Brethren 
 kneeling on the right knee. 
 
 Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name ; 
 Thy kingdom come ; Thy will be done on earth as it is in 
 Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread ; and forgive us 
 our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. 
 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil ; for 
 thine is the kingdom, the power, and tlie glory, tor ever and 
 ever. — Amen. 
 
 The Master shall then sny: 
 
 I now declare this Royal Arch Lodge closed in due form.
