The very words ‘ceremony’, ‘admitted a member’, ‘honourable Society’ all point the difference between men working on a building site and others who are formally accepted into a special group that has little or nothing to do with actual building work. What is clear from the start is that we have not now joined a group of working masons. Not of course, with any idea of increasing the words we already use, but thinking of what could be learnt about them in a real lodge of Instruction. There then came the day when we had to learn them as Junior Warden of a lodge and, from that moment, we begin to wonder what exactly it was that we, and others, were saying to new members of the Craft. All will have heard the words of the Charge after Initiation which I am invited to comment on this evening.
