King Sol-Om-On’s Temple.

King Sol-Om-On’s Temple. [No. 50]

That was a splendid Temple which was raised
By the great Sol-Om-On,—three names in one,
All from “the god of day” whose sheen was on
Those Masons’ labours which e’en yet are praised.
Each Brother must build up, in his own heart, 5
A nobler Temple than e’er graced the brow
Of Mount Moriah, fro which will ever flow
Incense more pure than e’er can form a part
Of priestly fumigations. Let us be
Builders of Spiritual Temples, where our Lord 10
Will find our Souls constantly in accord
With Him through Time and all Eternity.
We must, all life long, Build for Sin or God:
Happy the Mason who his Maker’s paths hath trod.
