the Master on his trestle-board, so should we,<br />

both operative and speculative, endeavor to erect<br />

our spiritual building agreeably to the rules and<br />

designs laid down by the Supreme Architect <strong>of</strong><br />

the universe, in the great book <strong>of</strong> Revelation,<br />

which is our spiritual, moral, and Masonic trestleboard.<br />

Q. What are the three immovable jewels?<br />

A. The square, level, and plumb.<br />

Q. What do they masonically teach us?<br />

A. The square teaches morality; the level,<br />

equality: and the plumb teaches rectitude <strong>of</strong> life.<br />

Q. How should a Lodge be situated?<br />

A. Due east and west.<br />

Q. Why so?<br />

A. Because, after Moses had safely conducted the<br />

children <strong>of</strong> Israel through the Red Sea, by Divine<br />

command he erected a tabernacle to God, and<br />

placed it due east and west, which was to<br />

commemorate to the latest posterity that<br />

miraculous east wind that wrought their mighty<br />

deliverance--this was an exact model <strong>of</strong><br />

Solomon's Temple; since which time every well<br />

regulated and governed Lodge is, or ought to be,<br />

so situated.<br />

Q. To whom were Lodges dedicated in ancient<br />

times?<br />

A. To King Solomon.
