It is not part of our work in New Jersey but seeing it was refreshing.

'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.

It was very cool having the the Gold Collars perform my MM second half, and afterwards perform the Canadian Charge. It spoke to me more so than any other.
