Many and varied undoubtedly are the reasons which actuate the candidates for admission into the Craft, and probably many such candidates even on the night of their initiation would find it difficult to give expression to their hopes and expectations.
It is fitting therefore that on the very threshold of his career a brother is called upon to place Altruism in the very forefront by the declaration that he believes Masonry will prove a guide to greater service to his fellow men.
To the brother who make this declaration the ideal of his subsequent masonic career, the lodge room will become a laboratory and the symbols and furnishings therein the material from which he will endeavour to extract the pure teaching wherewith to build a worthy masonic character and become a companion to the wise, a rebuke to the evil doer, and a support to the weak.
