THE EMBLEMS OF A FELLOWCRAFT

These include the Plumb; Square and Level; Corn, Wine and Oil; the Pillars in the Porch; the Winding Stairs; the Liberal Arts and Sciences; and the Letter G. The Fellowcraft should become very familiar with them, for they epitomize the lessons of this Degree. To really understand their significance, you must study them until the lesson learned is engraved upon your heart.

THE RIGHTS OF A FELLOWCRAFT

You have the right to sit in a Lodge when opened in the Fellowcraft Degree. You may visit another Lodge when it is opened in the Fellowcraft Degree, but you will another Master Mason from your Lodge or a member of the Lodge you are visiting to vouch that you are a Fellowcraft Mason. You have the right to be instructed and examined. If you are proficient and worthy, you have the right to ask for advancement.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A FELLOWCRAFT

These are to be found in the obligation and you should review these and the obligation of the Entered Apprentice Degree.

You should obey the laws and rules of a Fellowcraft’s Lodge, be faithful to your Lodge and Masonry, be charitable towards all, be honest in all your dealings, and remember to keep those secret with which you have been entrusted.

Finally, you are reminded that you are to acquire knowledge and apply that knowledge to your duties in life so that you can fill your place in society with satisfaction and honor.
