That each Lodge must take five copies of the ritual and that they must be regularly accounted for makes dealing with this matter difficult. Further, it is the Worshipful Master alone who has charge of these written rituals and who is ultimately accountable for them. That being the case, the following are suggestions for dealing with this issue:

• Send them back
  Package up the rituals and send them back to Grand Lodge with a letter explaining that the Lodge does not want them and feels they are a violation of the members' oaths. (Chances are Grand Lodge will send them back and make you keep them.)

• Lock them up
  Find a place in the Lodge to lock them up and keep them locked up forever.

• Sign them out
  If you and four like minded Brethren sign out the rituals and then take them home and lock them up there forever, they will be out of circulation permanently, but the Lodge will in compliance with Grand Lodge policy.
