Craft.
SECOND SECTION.
Q. Have you ever worked as a Fellow Craft?
A. I have, in speculative; but our forefathers
wrought in both speculative and operative
Masonry.
Q. Where did they work?
A. At the building of King Solomon's Temple,
and of many other Masonic edifices.
Q. How long did they work?
A. Six days.
Q. Did they work on the seventh?
A. They did not.
Q. Why so?
A. Because in six days God created the heavens
and the earth, and rested on the seventh day; the
seventh day, therefore, our ancient brethren
consecrated as a day of rest from their labors,
thereby enjoying more frequent opportunities to
contemplate the glorious works of creation, and
adore their great Creator.
Q. Did you ever return to the sanctum sanctorum,
or holy of holies, or King Solomon's Temple?
p. 83
A. I did.
