W. P. Is the candidate properly prepared?
Cond. She is.
W. P. You will admit her.
The Conductress, returning to the door, opens it wide and says:
Cond. It is the order of the Worthy Patron that you be admitted to our Chapter.
Before the door is opened to receive the candidate the lights may be turned down and soft music played during this lecture by the Conductress. The candidate is led inside the door and stopped. The Conductress then says to her:
Cond. You have doubtless well considered the step you have taken in seeking admission to this Order, dedicated to Charity, Truth and Loving-kindness. You came here of your own free choice. Complain not, therefore, at any trial. A seal is here set upon your lips. Let it warn you to be ever silent and secret as to all that may be made known to you here. Be not weary in well-doing. Woe unto those who seek to take upon themselves burdens which they cannot bear.
