""The steps taken by the candidate -- initiation, passing and raising -- are, of course, important to the candidate, but of the elements of the degree, the explanatory lecture, is where we who are in charge of making Masons let the candidate down. The lecture is the educational part of the degree. We give it to the candidate immediately following a very emotionally draining experience when a good nap is uppermost in his mind. (This after loading him up with a Salisbury steak dinner). Shouldn't this educational process be developed into a different delivery system?
Brethren -- there is confusion in the temple. We oppose the One day class as a matter of principal. We worry about solicitation. We worry about dues. We worry, worry, worry! Why don't we worry about educating Masons in a meaningful way!""
