TYLER
All the Officers of a Lodge must be members of that Lodge with the exception of Tyler. He must be a
member of some Lodge! This peculiarity of our Masonic Law arouses some curiosity in that the Tyler is
entrusted with guarding well our outer boundaries, assuring the secrecy of our Degree Work and
communications are protected from all Cowans and eavesdroppers. One would expect that this office should
be held by a long standing member of the lodge. one who is well familiar with the membership and the
community.
Since the Digest of Masonic Law provides this nonmember office, it is presumed that the Worshipful
Master will exercise his wisdom in making this appointment, thus ensuring the safety and security of tyled
meetings.
When a visitor is to be examined, it is his duty to see that the examination is done fairly and with
Brotherly Love.
