brother Mason: "In the R. A. (Royal Arch)<br />

Mason's Degree I beheld myself exalted to the<br />

top <strong>of</strong> Pisgah, an extensive scene opened to my<br />

(Most Excellent High Priest) <strong>of</strong> our salvation. I<br />

reverence which is due to His Holy NAME.--<br />

is, <strong>of</strong> Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva.--Lexicon, p.<br />
