THE EIGHTH GRADE OF THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED
SCOTTISH RITE, AND THE FIFTH OF THE INEFFABLE

THE APARTMENT AND ITS DECORATIONS.
The apartment represents the middle chamber of
King Solomon's Temple, with various symbols of truth
and wisdom displayed. The hangings are crimson,
with a blue canopy in the East, sprinkled with stars.
The lights are twenty-seven in number, in groups of
nine each—each group forming a triple triangle.
The altar is immediately in front of the Master, on
which are five other lights. Over the Master is suspended
a blazing star, with five points, and in its centre
the Hebrew letter J ("*), thrice repeated ; this star is
surrounded by the triple interlaced triangle.
OFFICERS, TITLES, ETC.
The Lodge consists of five members only, representing
the five Chief Architects, who were appointed tempora-
rily, in the place of the lamented Grand Master Hiram.
