PEEFATOET.
The annual meetings of all Councils of Princes of Jerusalem
are held on the 20th day of the tenth month
Tebet :
stated meetings, at such other times as may suit
their convenience. Officers should be elected at every
annual meeting, and installed on the 23d day of the
eleventh month—Adar—thereafter.
Originally, it was the province of every Council ol
Princes of Jerusalem to inspect and watch over, with
due care and fidelity, Lodges of Perfection, and see that
their " work" was done in conformity with the regula-
tions and landmarks of the order. This duty of a Coun-
cil has never been abrogated, but is seldom exercised.
The Grand Feast-day of Princes of Jerusalem shall be
celebrated on the 23d day of the eleventh month, Adar,
which is the anniversary of the day when thanks were
given to the Almighty for the reconstruction of the
Temple. Their other Feast-days are as follows :
The 20th day of the tenth month, called Tebet,
when "the ambassadors made a triumphant entry into
Jerusalem, on their return from Babylon."
The equinoctial days, in the months of March and
September, in memory of the Temple having been built
twice.
