Your answer?

• A. A poor blind candidate, who desires to be brought from darkness to light, to receive and to have a part of the rights and benefits of this worshipful lodge, erected to God and dedicated to the Holy Saints John, as all brothers and fellows have done, who have gone this way before.
• B. A traveling guest seeking temporary access.
• C. A person seeking only to observe without participation.
• D. A sponsor's agent seeking to enroll someone.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is initiation and admission to a Masonic lodge—the move from seeking light and knowledge into becoming a member with rights and privileges. The description that fits this is a person who desires to be brought from darkness to light and to receive and partake in the lodge’s rights and benefits, within a Worshipful Lodge dedicated to God and Saints John. This captures the applicant’s intent to join and participate in the fraternity’s rites and privileges, which is exactly what an Entered Apprentice candidate pursues. A traveling guest describes a temporary visitor, not someone seeking full membership. Observing only means watching without participating, which isn’t about joining. A sponsor’s agent pursuing someone to enroll is about assisting or promoting another person’s enrollment, not about the individual’s own initiation desire.
