Allegorical Hiram And Historical Hiram.
ALLEGORICAL HIRAM AND HISTORICAL HIRAM .
MASONRY speaks a language unintelligible to the profane , the language of allegory and symbolism , derived from remote antiquity ; and no initiate can have a true conception of our Fraternity ancl a full comprehension of the depth and beauty of Freemasonry until he has
studied and mastered this language . Our legends are all allegorical , like the parables of Christ , and whatever historical truth there may be in somo of them it is only as
allegories and legendary symbols that they are of importance to us . Thus the allegorical Hiram , handed down to us by Masonic tradition , is quite a different personage from the historical Hiram of Holy Writ .
The allegorical Hiram is represented as being an architect , drawing out plans for the Temple , and superintending the roof . The historical Hiram was neither an architect nor a builder , and had nothing to do with furnishing designs for
the Temple , but was a man filled with wisdom and understanding , and cunning to work all works in brass , and Josephus says of him that his chief skill lay in working in gold , silver aud brass , aad that by him were made all the mechanical works about the Temple according to the will
of Solomon . The allegorical Hiram inspected the work every day , drew up fresh designs on tho tracing board whereby the Craftsman could pursue their labour , and prayed three times a day in the Temple .
The historical Hiram was engaged in the plains of Jordan , more than fifty miles awayfrom Jerusalem , between Succoth and Zeredathah , casting in moulds of clay the two great pillars of brass , Jachin and Boaz , the molten sea of brass , with twelve oxen under it , ten lavers with their bases , ten
candlesticks , all the sacred vessels and other articles required for the use and adornment of the House of the Lord . The allegorical Hiram met with a misfortune , in the midst of his labours and with many of hia designs unfinished .
The historical Hiram lived till all hia work was finished , and how much longer ho lived history has not recorded . —N . Y . Dispatch .
Gems Of Thought.
GEMS OF THOUGHT .
Ono thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning . Try to regard present vexations as yon will regard them a month hence . The world is liko a looking glass . Laugh at it and it laughs back ; frown at it and it frowns back .
The chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to vex us , and in cultivating onr undergrowth of small pleasures . Self culture is the storage of power . It will introduce a man to a larger and more beautiful world than idleness and ignorance ever find .
The infliction of pain as a punishment is only justified when the inflictor is certain or as nearly certain , as can be , that the pain will be productive of good . Take time ; it is no use to foam or fret , or do as the angry housekeeper who has got hold of tho wrong key , and poshes , shakes and rattles it about tho look nntil both are broken and the door is
still unopened . It is the habitual thought that framas itself into onr life . It affects ns even more than onr intimate social relations do . Our confidential friends havo not so much to do in shaping our lives as thoughts have which we harbour . To try too hard to make people good is one way to make them worse ; the only way to make good is to be good—remembering well
the beam and the mote . The time for speaking comes rarely ; the time for being never departs . Saving is a practice best begnn early—and for this reason . It is a habit , and , like all habits , easily planted in a child , bufc taking root w'tn difficulty in an adult . It is no kindness to . teach children to spend , unless yon can ensure fchem money to spend to their Jives ' em . —Montreal Star .
