Sec. 27. Upon the reception of such reports, and should the cause assigned be, in the opinion of two-thirds (2/3) of the members present taken by secret ballot, not a valid and Masonic one, the Lodge may confer the degree in the same manner as if no objection had been made; and if it shall decide that the cause assigned is not a valid and Masonic one, the Master shall not allow the same objection to be made a second time. The decision is final and no appeal may be taken therefrom. If the objection is sustained, the part of the fee for the degree or degrees not taken by the applicant shall be returned to him.
