Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was first published in November of 1929, and is a companion to the recent episode, “Balloting”. In most jurisdictions, the new applicant is voted on by secret ballot. Here we find a most excellent discussion of things to think about on that solemn occasion, and it is widely held that every Lodge should hear this STB before balloting. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
