Masonic.

Brethren occasionally SO far forget them
selves as to induce candidates for Free
masonry or advancement to believe that
there is some dread ordeal for them to pass
through. Such proceedings are contrary to
Masonic usages and customs and beneath
the dignity of a Mason. While to some
such action would have but little or no
effect, yet TO n person of weak nerves 1t may
be very annoying and probably has kept
good men from becoming members Of the
craft Any one applying to be made
Mason or desiring advancement, from the
first to the end, should be made TO feel and
realize that he is among friends, and that
he will not have to undergo any harsh or
improper treatment.
