testimony that I shall give thee."
High Priest--This is a book of the law--long lost,
but now found. Holiness to the Lord. (He repeats
this again, twice.)
King--A book of the law--long lost, but now
found. Holiness to the Lord!
Scribe repeats the same.
High Priest (to candidates.)--You now see that
the world is indebted to Masonry for the
preservation of this sacred volume. Had it not
been for the wisdom and precaution of our
ancient brethren, this, the only remaining copy of
the law, would have been destroyed at the
destruction of Jerusalem. 1

High Priest (taking a little pot out of the Ark.)--
Companion King, what can this be? a pot of
manna? We will read in the book of the law, and
see what that says: (Reads, Exodus xvi. 32-34.)
"And Moses said, This is the thing which the
Lord commandeth: Fill an omer of the manna to
be kept for your generations, that they may see
the bread wherewith I have fed you in the
wilderness, when I brought you forth from the
land of Egypt. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take
a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and
lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your
generations. As the Lord commanded Moses, so
Aaron laid it up before the testimony, to be kept
for a token."
High Priest--A Pot of Manna! Holiness to the
Lord!
