The Duties of the Office

Each station has its charge

A Lodge is governed in good order because every officer knows his place and his part. These are the offices of Shem Lodge No. 8 and the work entrusted to each.

Seated in the East

Worshipful Master

The Master presides over the Lodge and is answerable for its governance and good order. He gives the Lodge light and instruction, opens and closes its labors, and represents the Lodge before the Grand Lodge and the wider community.

Seated in the West

Senior Warden

The Senior Warden assists the Master in the government of the Lodge and superintends the Craft while at labor, standing ready to preside in the Master's absence.

Seated in the South

Junior Warden

The Junior Warden observes the sun at its meridian, calls the Craft from labor to refreshment and back again in due season, and watches over their conduct.

At the Master's right

Secretary

The Secretary records the proceedings of the Lodge, conducts its correspondence, keeps its seal and records, and accounts faithfully for the dues and fees received.

Keeper of the funds

Treasurer

The Treasurer receives and safeguards the funds of the Lodge and pays them out only upon the order of the Worshipful Master with the consent of the brethren.
