first pillar; We now turn our
attention to the second Which
GOD said in Zech lriah was his
staff Bands, The first question
on this staff or pillar would be,
what was the particular work of
this pillar or staff IN holding up
the spiritual temple? And for
the answer, we shall ask you to
read this;
"Then Cut asnnder mine other staff,
even Bands, that might break the
brother hood between Judah and Israel
|(Zech. lid
This staff is made use Of after
his staff Beauty and has a differ
ent work to do, Beauty was to
break the covenant God had made
with all people, and Bands was to
break the brotherhood between
Judah and Israel. God did not
say that he had made this broth
erhood between them. And we
add neither did he. But it must
be broken, and his staff Bands
must do this. Hence we see that
the second pillar that Hiram
Abiff made was a very impor-
tant pillar in the natural temple
which he Was helping to build,
for it was to be a pattern oil
heavenly things. Now what dol
we learn from the Manuel of
Masonry on these two stats,

Continuing our course on the
principal of the two pillars, we
wish tc remind our readers Of
the great fact that God has set
forth these two pillars in diff
ferent manner. and which will
call to the minds OF Masons Il
truth that has been partly cover.
ed up to them; at least the real
meaning and that is this, az You
can read;
~ "And took unto me two slaves:
the one called Bevuty aud lne other
called Bands and fed the flock. "
lZech. II ~
The two slaves is the real
spiritual meaning of the two pill
lars, and these two slaves has D
very Important part 70 fill in the
history Of man, and men. The
one was called Beauty nd the
other was called Bands. Now
we must see what part of the
work in holding up the spiritual
temple, that Beauty has to per-
form And in order to do this,
we must see what God has said
he was going to have Beauty to
do, so we must read:
ri And took my staff even Beauty
and GU, ii assnndcr that might break
my covenant which had made with all
the people" Czech -l0.)
Yes according to the above
statement, Beauty would have to
play a very important part in
the building up of the spiritual
temple. For Beauty would be
to hold up the light to a dying
world as one of those pillars did
the capitor. Now the next point
will be to find out who this staff
Beauty was, who was to break
the covenant which God had
made with all people. So we
read;
"And said unto them. II ye think
good, give me my price; and ii not Tor
bear. SO they weighed for my lNice
thirty pieces OF silver.
And the Lord said unto loe, Cast it
unto the poter;a goodly price that l
was prisrd at Of tlem. And took the
thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to
the potter in the house Of the Lord. /"
Czech. 11-l2-13,
Now all we will have to do, to
find out who Beauty was and is
will be to read the following;
And said unto them, What will 10
give me and ! will deliver him unto
your And they covenanted with hin
for thirty pieces Of silver. !" Matt 20
1917
Also;
"s Then Judas which had betrayed
him, when he saw that he Was condemn
