SUPPORTS OF THE LODGE

The American Quarterly Review - 1859

The institution of Masonry, venerable for its antiquity, and its virtuous character, is said to be supported by Wisdom, Strength, and Beauty; for the wisdom of its eminent founders was engaged in its first design; the strength of its organization has enabled it to survive the fall of empires, and the changes of languages, religions and manners which have taken place since its formation; and the beauty of holiness is exhibited in the purity and virtue that it inculcates, and in the morality of life which it demands of all its children.

Our lodges thus supported, will find in these columns another analogy to their great prototype, the Temple of Jerusalem. For that mighty fabric was designed by the wisdom of Solomon, King of Israel, who found strength to carry on the great undertaking in the assistance and friendship of Hiram; King of Tyre; and beauty to adorn the structure in the architectural skill and taste of Hyram, the widow's son.
