ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS
self, will weigh heavily in the scale when it comes to be a
question of the high advancement of a Brother in the Order.
OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE BRETHREN
FIRST HOUSE
44. The first and greatest of all privileges of a Brother is
to be a Brother; to have accepted the Law, to have become
free and independent, to have destroyed all fear, whether of
custom, or of faith, or of other men, or of death itself. In
other papers the joy and glory of those who have accepted
the Book of the Law as the sole rule of life is largely, though
never fully, explained; and we will not here recapitulate the
same.
SECOND HOUSE
45. All Brethren who may fall into indigence have a right
to the direct assistance of the Order up to the full amount of
fees and subscriptions paid by them up to the time of appli-
cation. This will be regarded as a loan, but no interest will
be charged upon it. That this privilege may not be abused,
the Grand Tribunal will decide whether or no such appli-
cation is made in good faith.
THIRD HOUSE
46. Members of the Order will be permitted to use the
Library in any of our Profess-Houses.
47. Circulating Libraries will presently be established.
48. Brethren who may be travelling have a right to the
hospitality of the Master of the Lodge of the district for a
period of three days.
