M. W. S. — The Candidate will please to approach the

East. Worthy Knight, I rejoice to confer upon you the
reward you have so well earned, and we trust that by the
practice of those virtues which have been this day com-
mended to your notice, you will indeed be led to the
WOED which is the Stay, the Truth, and the Life!
Kneel therefore and receive those honors to which you are
now entitled.

(The Candidate kneeling in the East, the M. W. S.
passes from left to right, and confers upon him the honor
of being received into the Degree of Eose Croix.)
