Conductress offers her right arm to the candidate. If there are two, the Associate Conductress offers her left arm to the candidate and in like manner follows with the second. The Associate Conductress assists only when necessary to form couples. The candidate is conducted once around the room to the Associate Matron. Officers and members always observe square corners. During the march, vocal or instrumental music is furnished, or the Worthy Patron may recite the following:

W. P. "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal."

"Charity suffereth long and is kind: charity envieth not."

"Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth."

"And now abideth Faith, Hope and Charity, but the greatest of these is Charity."

Having arrived at the West, the candidate is introduced to the Associate Matron.

Cond. Sister Associate Matron.

A. M. Sister Conductress.
