From the Trestleboard - Scott Wilson, Editor
Do you know which pages the Bible is turned to for each degree
ceremony?
1st Degree - Psalm 133
2nd Degree - Amos 7:7-8
3rd Degree - Ecclesiastes 12:1-7
These passages occupy places of unusual prominence in the degrees, an indication
that they are intended to be of great importance. The recitation of each passage
has a major impact on the tone of each of the degrees. These words of each
scripture are spoken only once in our ritual, unlike so many others, and are not
mentioned in any subsequent explanation.
