It is recommended that all Open Ceremonies be used at every available opportunity. Written invitations to Masonic and community dignitaries will be beneficial toward improving community relations. These ceremonies can also increase Chapter enthusiasm for performing our Ritual. A good effort can be achieved by combining various ceremonies, but care should be taken to avoid lengthy programs.

When more than one ceremony from this Monitor is presented on the same occasion, repetitious use of opening prayers, closing prayers, and entrances and exits of Officers can materially detract from the beauty of the occasion. Therefore, it is recommended that only one opening and closing prayer be used and that there be only one formal entrance and exit of Officers on such occasions. Changes in Officers' stations should be done informally, but in a dignifies and graceful manner as possible.

The texts of these ceremonies must be followed to the letter; no additions or deletions are permitted, but they may be amplified with special features as a musical program, addresses, presentation of jewels or other tokens, as may be desired. They should be made as impressive as possible, since they are opportunities for DeMolays to explain and exemplify the purposes of the Order to those who may never learn otherwise.
