Why Is Three the Mystic Number /?

& THE world has often desired for the
solution of this problem. The following
will be found interesting on this subject
In all ages the number three has had
much mysterious Specification, and it is
said that the Arabic character 3 signi-
fies, in that language, the Trinity in
Unity. However this may be, the
character holds high position in many
of the secret orders of the present day,
and one of their penmen has given the
following deductions, principally from
the ancient Scriptures When the
world was created, we find land, water,
and sky; sun, moon, and stars. Noah
had but three sons; Jonah was three
days in the whales belly; our Saviour
passed three days in the tomb Peter
denied his Saviour thrice there were
three patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob; Abraham entertained three
angels Samuel was called three times
Daniel was thrown into den with three
lions for praying three times a-day
Shadrack, Meshech, and Abednego
were rescued from the flames of the
oven the ten commandments were
delivered on the third day; Job had
three friends :; St. Paul speaks of faith
hope, and charity-these three; those
famous dreams of the baker and butler
were to come to pass in three days
Elijah Frustrated himself three times or
