'On Yonder Book' is known by many names; 'The Walking Charge' , 'The Canadian Charge' , and others. It is used in numerous Masonic Jurisdictions as an optional Charge for the MM Degree. It is a beautiful piece of work that is performed by a few here in New Jersey AFTER the official Degree ritual is finished. I was fortunate enough to learn this piece as it is used in my Mother Jurisdiction of Indiana, and I rarely give it. In regards to some not liking the Charge, I have seen it done with a forceful deliberation to the Newly Raised - this may be to what Bro Cook is referring. The intent behind the Charge is to remind one of ALL of our Obligations with a beautiful and memorable piece of work.
