    The Lodge of Perfection

    13th Degree - Royal Arch of Solomon


    The apron is of crimson velvet. Upon it is embroidered a
    triangle emitting rays, and in the middle a letter, an archaic
    form of the Semitic Yod. The color donotes the zeal and
    devotedness of a Royal Arch Mason. The triangle is the emblem
    of Deity, or Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Power and Infinite
    Harmony; the letter represents the Tetragammaton, the Name
    of God made known to Moses.
    The cordon is a broad, watered purple ribbon worn from the
    right shoulder to the left hip from which is suspended a triangle
    of gold bars.
    The jewel is a circular medal of gold, around which, on one side
    are the following letters, words and number:
    R,S,R,S,T,P,S,R,I,A,J, et S, ANNO ENOCHI 2995. On the same side
    is an engraving of the ground with a rectangular hole in it into
    which two men are lowering a third with a rope. On the reverse
    side is a triangle emitting rays and in the middle of it the same
    letter as is on the apron. This medal is to be worn upon the
    chest, suspended by a narrow, white watered ribbon. The
    letters stand for: Regnante Solomone, Rege Sapientissimo,
    Thesaurum Pretiosissimum Sub Ruinis Invenerunt Adonirum,
    Joabert, et Satolkin ... Anno Enochi 2995; or 'In the reign of
    Solomon, wisest of kings, Adonirum, Joabert and Satolkin
    found under the ruins the most precious treasure'. Let the
    emblem on the reverse side of the jewel always remind us that the good Mason reveres and adores the Grand
    Architect of the Universe, and endeavors, by pursuing the path of honor and duty, to perform the part assigned
    him in the world well and faithfully.
    DUTIES
    Seek knowledge.
    Be motivated by duty and honor.
    LESSONS
    Moral character is a habit, not formed in a moment.
    The great law of retribution acts in our memory as remorse and at the final judgement.
    FOR REFLECTION
    Are idle hours and idle words subject to the great law of retribution?
    IMPORTANT SYMBOLS
    Enoch, Adonirum, Yehu-Aber, Satolkin, the descent into the vault, the arch, cube of agate, triangle of gold,
    name of Deity.
