The Most Faithful Agreement and Concordat
April 1907.
The "Most Faithful Agreement and Concordat" Between the Independent and Rectified Rite and the Stella Matutina Temple.
Clause 4: The full membership of each section shall be known to the Chiefs of each section.
Clause 5: The Rolls of the two Orders which are now in possession of Finem Respice [Robert W. Felkin] shall be used in common.
Clause 6: [This clause evidently related to the exclusion of certain Members from both Orders.]
Clause 12: The Pass-word of each Equinox shall be arranged between the Chiefs of the two sections and shall be one Pass-word.
Clause 15: No Member shall he permitted to work with both sections simultaneously in so far as the Degrees recognized up to the separation are concerned.
Clause 17: Subject to the independence and autonomy of each section there shall be no reserve of doctrine, instruction or means of ceremonial working between the Chiefs of the two sections.
Clause 18: There shall be no secrecy between the two sections in respect of those Grades of the Order known and recognized up to the time of the separation of the sections but Grades and Rites worked subsequently by one section if any shall be communicated only under the rules by which they are governed.
[A further clause (the number of which cannot be identified) "affirms that in the one case there is a triple Headship and in the other that the Head is 'the Most Honoured Frater Finem Respice, 7°=4°,' and him only."]
