But, in such a case, due notice should be given to all the members, which is best done by making the application at one regular meeting, and voting for it on the next.

This, however, I suppose to be only necessary in the case of a renewed application after a rejection.

An Entered Apprentice or a Fellow Craft is entitled after due probation to make his application for advancement; and his first application may be balloted for on the same evening, provided it be a regular meeting of the lodge.

The members are supposed to know what work is before them to do, and should be there to do it.
But the case is otherwise whenever a candidate for advancement has been rejected.

He has now been set aside by the lodge, and no time is laid down in the regulations or usages of the craft for his making a second application.
