on the receipt of this information (raising himself), raises his hand three several times above his head (as herein before described), and exclaims twice, “Nothing but a faint resemblance of the letter G! that is not the Master’s word, nor a key to it, I fear the Master’s word is forever lost!” [The third exclamation is different from the others—­attend to it; it has been described in pages 40 and 41.] “Nothing but a faint resemblance of the letter G! that is not the Master’s word, nor a key to it.”  “O Lord, my God, is there no help for the widow’s son?” The Master then orders the Junior Warden to summon a Lodge of Entered Apprentice Masons, and repair to the grave to raise the body of their Grand Master, by the Entered Apprentice’s grip.  They go to the candidate and take hold of his forefinger and pull it, and return and tell the Master that they could not raise him by the Entered Apprentice’s grip; that the skin cleaved from the bone.  A Lodge of Fellow Crafts are then sent, who act as before, except that they pull the candidate’s second finger.  The Master then directs the Senior Warden [generally] to summon a Lodge of Master Masons, and says, “I will go with them myself in person, and try to raise the body by the Master’s grip, or lion’s paw.” [Some say by the strong grip, or the lion’s paw.] They then all assemble around the candidate, the Master having declared the first word spoken after the body was raised, should be adopted as a substitute for the Master’s word, for the government of Master Mason’s Lodges in all future generations; he proceeds to raise the candidate, alias the representative of the dead body of Hiram Abiff.  He [the candidate] is raised on what is called the five points of fellowship, which are foot to foot, knee to knee, breast to breast, hand to back, and mouth to ear.  This is done by putting the inside of your right foot to the inside of the right foot of the person to whom you are going to give the word, the inside of your knee to his, laying your right breast against his, your left hands on the back of each other, and your mouths to each other’s right ear [in which position you are alone permitted to give the word], and whisper the word Mah-hah-bone.  The Master’s grip is given by taking hold of each other’s right hand, as though you were going to shake hands, and sticking the nails of each of your fingers into the joint of the other’s wrist, where it unites with the hand.  In this position the candidate is raised, he keeping his whole body stiff, as though dead.  The Master, in raising him, is assisted by some of the brethren, who take hold of the candidate by the arms and shoulders.  As soon as he is raised to his feet they step back, and the Master whispers the word Mah-hah-bone in his ear, and causes the candidate to repeat it, telling him at the same time that he must never give it in any manner other than that in which he receives it.  He is also told that Mah-hah-bone signifies
