As the moon the symbol of the Secretary because she does not have its own light, depending on others to shine light, so the Brother Secretary also only records what was said to put others in their tenure. Sometimes also records his opinion, but it is only the photographer of the meeting. And it certainly is not little.

The Treasurer, and Secretary of the Lodge, in positions of secular nature, even in the same classification. However, its value within the Administration is of paramount importance.

The office of Master of Ceremonies is one of the positions of real importance within a Masonic Lodge.
