ASK, SEEK, KNOCK

In referring to the passage of Matthew (vii, 7), “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ” Doctor Clarke says : “These three words ask, seek, knock—include the ideas of want loss, and earnestness.” The application made to the passage theologically is equally appropriate to it in a Masonic Lodge. You ask for acceptance, you seek for light, you kock for initiation, which includes the other two.
