My Brother, you have been invested with the secrets of the Past Master Degree and have been inducted into a representation of the Oriental Chair, wherein the wisest of Kings once ruled.

While brief may have been the ceremonies of the Degree, the lessons conveyed are of great importance and according to ancient regulations, essentially necessary before you could be exalted to the most sublime degree of the Royal Arch. For he who would attain to the honorable station must be a Ruler of the Craft. He who would rule must first learn the great lesson of obedience and the observance of every obligation heretofore taken, squaring his actions by the square of virtue and keeping his passions and prejudices within due bounds.

He only can teach, who has passed through the severe school of discipline and he rules best who has learned the important lesson of self control.

Self, a subject, although a king; self, a servant, but still a Master; self, a Craftsman, yet a ruler of the Craft, a Ruler whose scepter is justice, whose kingdom is in the heart of humanity and whose throne is built in love.
