In the active duties of conducting the business of a lodge, Junior Deacon is the messenger for the Senior Warden. The Junior Deacon assumes the responsibility for the physical and mental preparation of the candidate. He is associated with the candidate at a time when apprehension and some doubt may be prevalent, and his attitude and actions can do much to relieve any existing doubts or fears and make this a most inspirational and exhilarating experience for the candidate.
