Q. How many lights has a Lodge?
A. Three.
Q. How are they situated?
A. East, west, and south.
Q. None in the north?
A. No.
Q. Why none in the north?
A. Because this and every other Lodge is, or ought to be, a true representation of King
Solomon's Temple, which was situated north of the ecliptic; the sun and moon, therefore,
darting their rays from the south, no light was to be expected from the north. We therefore,
masonically, term the north a place of darkness.
Q. How many jewels has a Lodge?
A. Six: three movable, and three immovable.
Q. What are the movable jewels?
A. The rough ashler, the perfect ashler, and the trestle-board.
