ladder.

Q. What are their names? A. Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Q. What do they teach? A. Faith in God, hope in immortality, and
charity to all mankind.

Q. Has your Lodge any furniture? A. It has; the Holy Bible, Square,
and Compass.

Q. To whom do they belong? A. The Bible to God; the Square to the
Master; and the Compass to the Craft.

Q. How explained? A. The Bible to God, it being the inestimable gift
of God to man for his instruction, to guide him through the rugged
paths of life; the Square to the Master, it being the proper emblem

we are taught to limit our desires, curb our ambition, subdue our
irregular appetites, and keep our passions and prejudices in due
bounds with all mankind, but more especially with the brethren.

indented tressel, with the blazing star in the centre, the manifold
blessings and comforts with which we are surrounded in this life, but

star, that prudence which ought to appear conspicuous in the conduct

Q. Has your Lodge any lights? A. It has; three.

Q. How are they situated? A. East, West, and South.

Q. Has it none in the North? A. It has not.

true representation of King Solomon's Temple, which was situated North

the South, no light was to be expected from the North; we, therefore,
Masonically, term the North a place of darkness.

immovable.

Q. What are the three movable jewels? A. The Square, Level, and Plumb.
