Opening

Officers, please note.

I will abide by and obey the laws, rules and regulations of the Grand Aerie.

I promise at all times to respect the sanctity of his home and family.
I understand the meaning of these pledges and I ask my God and my Brothers to help me keep them.

All Members: Amen.
The following Ode must be sung, at every initiation, by the Aerie or by a soloist, drill team or whomsoever the Worthy President shall designate. Or, in lieu thereof, it may be recited by the Worthy President or some one or more persons by him designated.


Ode to the Candidates

Around you stand, hand touching hand,
Men who have come before
This Altar to be bound with you
In vows forevermore.
The man that’s stirred to speak a word
For an absent Brother’s name,
Will find that he can easily
Put the slanderer to shame.
In justice to yourself—be true
And help us in life’s fight,
Then if we do the same by you,
Life’s burdens will be light.
And if we try most earnestly
To do each other good,
We shall ring true from every view
Of this great Brotherhood.
The Worthy President shall seat the Aerie.
Worthy President: Worthy Conductor, take the candidates to the station of the Junior Past Worthy President.
The Worthy President shall be seated.
The Worthy Conductor, candidates, and attendants shall march slowly to each station and form in front of, and facing, the officer who is to give the lecture. The candidates in front, the attendants one pace behind the candidates, and the Worthy Conductor shall stand at the left of the candidates.
Whenever possible and convenient, a slow march may be played as the candidates are led from one station to another.
Worthy Conductor, stopping at the station of the Junior Past Worthy President: This is the station of Liberty.
The Junior Past Worthy President shall rise The transparency representing Liberty shall be illuminated and, at some time during the lecture, the attention of the candidates especially directed to it by the Junior Past Worthy President.
Junior Past Worthy President: Liberty! The history of mankind is written around this word. To its sacred cause the master minds of ages have dedicated the loftiest gems of oratory, and in its service men have reached the summit of human greatness. The battlefields where vast armies fell, seeking to extend some tyrant’s power, may, in the fullness of time, be unmarked, unheeded, and unknown; but the magic peal of Patrick Henry’s eloquence—”Give me Liberty or give me death”—will reverberate forever; and, filled with its inspiration, the humblest man finds, even in this day, the dignity and the courage to die, if there be need, like Nathan Hale, regretting that he had but one life to give for his country.
But the liberty of the nation is only the sum of our individual liberties. And the liberty of the individual is only a bit less sacred than is the liberty of the State. Liberty is not license! Liberty may be likened to a flower that the tears of women and the blood of men have nourished until its beauty is an inspiration and its fragrance a benediction. License is a mould that tarnishes the splendor of the loftiest manhood and breeds suffering and hatred. The spirit of liberty asks no more from a man than it would give to that man. The spirit of license exacts from a man what it would not willingly let him exact, in turn. You have no right to ask from me what you would not give to me; and I have no right to impose ideas and conditions on you, which, were I in the minority, I would not myself accept from you.
The courage to die in defense of one’s country is no whit more praiseworthy than the courage to live worthily for one’s country. And as you consecrate the fullness of the best that lies in you to our common Land, give gladly, because you value your liberty, the same right to every other man to think his thoughts, to live his life, to love his country, and to worship his God, as you ask for yourself.
The light in the transparency representing Liberty shall be turned out.
Junior Past Worthy President: Worthy Conductor, you will now take the candidates to the station of the Worthy Vice-President.
The Junior Past Worthy President shall be seated.
Worthy Conductor, stopping at the station of the Worthy Vice President: This is the station of Truth.
The Worthy Vice-President shall rise. The transparency representing Truth shall be illuminated, and at some time during the lecture the attention of the candidates especially directed to it by the Worthy Vice-President.
Worthy Vice-President: The interest shown by you during the charge delivered by our Junior Past Worthy President impresses me with the belief that the motives that prompted you to join this Fraternity are praiseworthy. He has told you of the sacred rights of liberty. But without truth, liberty could not long endure; for a man’s honor—and a nation’s— rests upon the integrity of a promise.
The chances of life may rob us of our possessions; sickness may lay feeble the sturdiest frame; circumstances may lead us to believe we are right in doing that which will bring on us the censure of our fellow men; but the confidence of friends will vanish only when our reputation for speaking the truth departs. In all dealings with your fellow men be careful what you promise. Let your word be of the kind that, once given, each of us shall have absolute confidence in its integrity. Think before you promise, and promise only what you intend to do.
The light in the transparency representing Truth shall be turned out.
Worthy Vice-President: Worthy Conductor, you will now take the candidates to the station of the Worthy Chaplain.
The Worthy Vice-President shall be seated.
Worthy Conductor, stopping at the station of the Worthy Chaplain: This is the station of Justice.
The Worthy Chaplain shall rise. The transparency representing Justice shall be illuminated and, at some time during the lecture, the attention of the candidates especially directed to it by the Worthy Chaplain.
Worthy Chaplain: One of the finest traits of a manly character is a sense of justice. If you have wronged a man in any way, you should remember that it is only a noble nature that frankly admits an error, and that seeks the earliest opportunity to make amends. When we ask you to be especially just in your treatment of your Brother Eagles, we mean to urge you to remember that their acts and opinions may be as worthy of consideration as are your own. If each one of us shows that spirit of fairness toward every other Eagle, we shall be united by ties so far-reaching and powerful in their influence that membership in this Fraternity will, more and more, be held a privilege.
Let your mind rest again on this part of the obligation that you have so lately taken: “If I cannot speak well of an Eagle, I will not speak ill of him.” Hold steadfastly to this resolution. It does not mean that we ask you to approve everything that a Brother may do; but, when you feel there is just cause for censure, go to the man himself and tell him of his failing—do not aid in exposing his weakness to the curiosity and contempt of others. By your actions, urge him to better efforts; do not discourage and embitter him by the attitude— “I am holier than thou”; for is there one among us without fault?
Be just, and give as much to each of us as you expect from each of us; do your part in adding to the sum of human happiness; and, after a worthy act, say to yourself, “Not for charity, but justice.”
The light in the transparency representing Justice shall be turned out.
Worthy Chaplain: Worthy Conductor, you will now take the candidates to the station of the Worthy President.
The Worthy Chaplain shall be seated.
Worthy Conductor, stopping at the station of the Worthy President: This is the station of Equality.
The Worthy President shall rise. The transparency representing Equality shall be illuminated and, at some time during the lecture, the attention of the candidates especially directed to it by the Worthy President.
Worthy President: In this Fraternity all men are equal.
Not equal in wealth or in education or in bodily strength, but equal in the right to state their opinions and have them treated with consideration; equal in the right to vote upon any subject that may come before the Aerie; equal in the right to receive aid from our common fund. Where there is equality of this kind, and where it is conscientiously observed, there will be discussions, there will be differences of opinion, but there will be no dissensions; for each of us has the same right as every other one—no more, no less—and the will of the majority, as shown by the ballot, must ever be accepted. Such equality opens wide the doors of friendship and of true fraternalism; for the ties that bind give equal rights and lay equal obligations upon each of us.
The light in the first transparency representing Equality shall be turned out.
Worthy President: Worthy Conductor, let us now show our Brothers a scene in which some day each must take his part in the exemplification of Equality.
The Worthy President or some member selected by him shall rise. The transparency illustrating the following lecture shall be illuminated. This transparency may be placed above, below, or at one side of the transparency representing Equality If an Aerie so desires, it may provide a more elaborate representation of the thoughts set forth in this lecture. The greatest freedom may be exercised in this arrangement, so long as it is sacred, instructive, and dignified.
Worthy President: The few years that you call life pass swiftly as the shooting of a star across the midnight sky. Your earthly hopes and strivings end at the grave. No matter with what honors life may clothe you, you must go naked to the Throne of God. At times your lot seems hard and the burden so heavy that you grow weary; but struggle on manfully, for, when you reach this goal, you shall enjoy eternal rest. Above your grave the fragrant winds of spring and the chill breath of winter will come and go. The warm glow of June-time sky and the gray veil of bleak December days will fall and fall again; and ever you will sleep in the restful quietness of the earth. Uncounted years will change your body into dust. Your very name will pass from the memory of man. But each of us must come to sleep with you. Wealth and poverty, pride and humility, greed and charity, alike must pass this way—but beyond is God!
This equality at the grave is the lesson that Death teaches, and the man who learns it early in life, early finds happiness in the knowledge.
At this time the light illuminating the transparency shall be turned out and the Aerie lights turned on.
All candidates shall stand during the following instructions.
Worthy President: My Brothers, for such you now are, please follow my instructions carefully.
If you wish to enter any Aerie room while the Aerie is in session, rap once on the inner door. The Inside Guard will raise the wicket or open the door. To him you will give your name, the name and number of your Aerie, the semi-annual password and present your official receipt. If you are qualified, the Inside Guard will admit you to the Aerie room.
Advance immediately toward the Altar. When you reach the Flag, stop, and give the salutation sign, then step to the Altar and give the salutation sign to the Worthy President, then quietly take a seat.
The salutation sign is made by placing your right hand over your heart, thumb and fingers joined. This sign is used when members rise address the Worthy President; when they reach the Altar to ballot on applications, and when crossing the room. The Worthy President acknowledges the salutation sign by a wave of his right hand.
If you wish to retire while the Aerie is in session, advance to the Altar and give the Worthy President the salutation sign. Then quietly leave the room.
