After Before

12. • The men gathered around a flickering table lamp,
performed the ancient blood compact, and signed
their membership papers with their own blood.

13. • Any person who wished to join the
Katipunan was subjected to certain
initiation rites, resembling those
of Masonic rites, to test his courage,
patriotism, and loyalty. New recruits
underwent the initiation rite three at a
time so that no member knew more than
two other members of the society.

14. • The neophyte was first blindfolded and then led
into a dimly-lighted room with black curtains
where his folded cloth was removed from his
eyes. An admonition, in Tagalog, was posted at
the entrance to the room:
• Kung may lakás at tapang, ìkaw'y makatutuloy!
• Kung ang pag-uusisa ang̃ nagdalá sa iyó dito'y
umurong ka.
• Kung di ka marunong pumigil ng̃ iyong
masasamang hilig, umurong ka; kailan man ang
pintuan ng̃
May-kapangyarihan at Kagalanggalang Katipunan
ng̃ mg̃á Anak ng̃ Baya'y bubuksan dahil sa iyó.
