The Ark op Phile.
ARGUMENT.
Tub degree, in fact, forms the climax of Ineffable Masonry ; it
Is the keystone of the arch, and discovers that which is revealed
in the succeeding degree of Perfection. It is a most important
and interesting grade, and so intimately connected with its sue
cessor as to appear like a section of that degree.
The shaded beauties of the sacred words that have been hith-
1
erto revealed, and the lessons and virtues that have so ; vadua! v
been inculcated, in this degree receive a climax, and culminate in
the development of the great mysteiy of Ineffable Masonry.
" The dark clouds and mists that have hitherto veiled the sa-
cred mysteries now begin to be dispelled : the glorious dawn illu-
mines the E.\ with its bright effulgence, and its lays penetraU
Into dark and hidden places."
