Text Box: 2005-2006 Degree Conferral Path of a Master Mason    In his journey through the three degrees of Symbolic Masonry and as he have learned the proficiency lecture for each degree, no doubt many questions have arise concerning the meaning of the ritualistic ceremonies, the historical implication and the "why" of the legends of Freemasonry.    Many believe the Sublime Degree of Master Mason to be the ultimate degree of Freemasonry and that all others are added and explanatory.  However, most students of Freemasonry agree that the story of the Craft as presented in the three degrees is incomplete.    On the union of the Grand Lodges in 1813, a part of the compact of the union read, "Ancient Craft Masonry consists of three degrees and no more, namely, those of the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason including the Holy Royal Arch."    We trust that our newly made Master Mason have been intrigued by the lessons and mysteries of Freemasonry which he have thus far received and that he will in due time investigate those available in the York Rite of Freemasonry in order to complete his Masonic knowledge. --adapted from Information for Master Masons, Educational Bureau, General Grand Chapter, R.A.M .
