Q. Your answer? A. From the West, and traveling to the East. Q. Why do you leave the West and travel to the East? A. In search of light. Q. How did the Worshipful Master then dispose of you? A. He ordered me to be conducted back to the West, from whence I came, and put in care of the Senior Warden, who taught me how to approach the East, the place of light, by advancing upon one upright regular step to the first step, my feet forming the right angle of an oblong square, my body erect at the altar before the Worshipful Master. Q. What did the Worshipful Master do with you? A. He made an Entered Apprentice Mason of me. Q. How? A. In due form. Q. What was that due form? A. My left knee bare and bent, my right forming a square, my left hand supporting the Holy Bible, Square and Compass; I took upon me the solemn oath or obligation of an Entered Apprentice Mason. Q. After you had taken your obligation, what was said to you? A. I was asked what I most desired. Q. Your answer? A. Light. Q. Was you immediately brought to light? A. I was. Q. How? A.

The Holy Bible is given to us as a guide for our faith and practice; the Square, to square our actions; and the Compass to keep us in due bounds with all mankind, but more especially with the brethren. Q. What were those three lesser lights? A. Three burning tapers, or candles on candlesticks. Q. What do they represent? A. The Sun, Moon, and Master of the Lodge. Q. How are they explained? A. As the Sun rules the day, and the Moon governs the night, so ought the Worshipful Master to use his endeavors to rule and govern his Lodge with equal regularity, or cause the same to be done. Q. What did you next discover? A. The Worshipful Master approaching me from the East, under the sign and due-guard of an Entered Apprentice Mason, who presented me with his right hand in token of brotherly love and esteem, and proceeded to give me the grip and word of an Entered Apprentice Mason, and bid me arise and salute the Junior and Senior Wardens, and convince them that I had been regularly initiated as an Entered Apprentice Mason, and was in possession of the sign, grip, and word.
