In the active duties of conducting the business of a lodge, the Senior Deacon is
the messenger for the Worshipful Master. The Senior Deacon is ultimately responsible for the proper preparation of
the candidate who comes to him from the hands of the Junior Deacon, and he must absolutely assure himself that the candidate is "duly and truly prepared." He should so conduct his candidate through the degrees that the candidate will forever after be his friend because of that association.
