refuses to yield to his lower nature, this ray can by long and determined effort be deflected upwards to the brain, where all three of its constituents undergo a remarkable modification. the orange is raised into pure yellow, and produces a decided intensification of the powers of the intellect; the dark red becomes crimson and gradually increases the power of unselfish affection; while the dark purple is transmuted into a lovely pale violet, and quickens the spiritual part of man fs nature. the man who achieves this transmutation will find that lower desires no longer trouble him; and it is with that consummation in view that the development of the centre in which those modifications and transmutations are achieved is so strongly emphasized in the preliminary stages of freemasonry. 392

o the tent proper the jews placed seven pillars, referring to the seven senses and the seven vowels of the sacred name. that later only five pillars are mentioned may be accounted for by the fact that at the present time man has only five developed senses and five active vowels. the early jewish writer of the baraitha treats of the curtains as follows "there were provided ten curtains of blue, of purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen. as is said 'moreover thou shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine-twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet* there were provided eleven curtains of goats' hair, and the length of every one of them was thirty cubits. rabbi judah said 'there were two covers-the lower one of rams' skins dyed red, and the upper one of badgers' skins" calmet

tick into seventy parts, he secretly intimated the decani, or seventy divisions of the planets; and as to the seven lamps upon the candlesticks, they referred to the course of the planets, of which that is the number. the veils too, which were composed of four things, they declared the four elements; for the plain linen was proper to signify the earth, because the flax grows out of the earth; the purple signified the sea, because that color is dyed by the blood of a sea shell-fish; the blue is fit to signify the air; and the scarlet will naturally be an indication of fire "now the vestment of the high-priest being made of linen, signified the earth; the blue denoted the sky, being like lightning in its pomegranates, and in the noise of the bells resembling thunder. and for the ephod, it sh

d upon the descriptions. nor do the scales always make good sense symbolically. for these reasons it was deemed necessary to create a simpler arrangement of colors for ritual use. a com- pletely new system is presented here, based on the distribution of colors around a circle. fourteen colors are used. they can be divided into five categories: white primaries-red, blue, yellow secondaries-orange, purple, green tertiaries-yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, yellow-green black these colors are produced by splitting white light into three parts, then combin- ing these reflective primaries into pairs to make three secondaries, which are further combined with the primaries to yield six tertiaries. black is the absence of light. a good color wheel should be consulted

e rising sun on the surface of the sea. the three secondaries result from combining the primaries in pairs. each shares the qualities of its parents yet is an individual in its own right. orange is opposite blue and is the combination of yellow with red. it is a bold color of material success and worldly triumph. energetic but not impetu- ous, it is pervaded with positive feelings and good cheer. purple is opposite yellow and is formed by combining blue and red. the least favorable of all the colors, purple has a sickly quality pertaining to disease, putrefaction, and corruption. it is the color of futility and impotent rage. green is opposite red on the color wheel and partakes of yellow and blue. it is the color of love, sharing, and accepting. also it is the color of natural magic of th
