Most Excellent Master Degree

Brother __________--, you have been received and acknowledged a Most Excellent Master. Let this lesson now apply to your daily life. If our temple is erected true and exact to the plans laid out by the great architect of the universe in the book of law, and in a sense, completed by the rejected Keystone, then when the working tools of life drop from our nerveless grasp, then should we be ready to stand before the King of Kings for our just reward, based on acceptance of our Keystone. 9/21/2018

You see, my Brother, how typical our lives are of the Temple and succeeding structures, thrown down in ruins, yet restored again and again. We may fail and see our temples in ruins, yet by trust in God we see them rise again. If we erect our temple to God and His service, furnish it with deeds of sacrifice and devotion, then we can be assured that God’s favor will come down upon our altar and His presence be a never-ending inspiration in our lives. Let us therefore resolve to study the Divine plan that our Temple may be erected straight and true. 9/21/2018
