THIRTEENTH DEGREE. anal %tstx at ft»0ffc<. The Ark op Phile. ARGUMENT. Tras degree, in fact, forms the climax of Ineffable Masonry ; itis the keystone of the arch, and discovers that which is revealedin the succeeding degree of Perfection. It is a most importantand interesting grade, and so intimately connected with its suecessor as to appear like a section of that degree. The shaded beauties of the sacred words that have been hith-erto revealed, and the lessons and virtues that have so graduallybeen inculcated, in this degree receive a climax, and culminate iuthe development of the great mysteiy of Ineffable Masoury. The dark clouds and mists that have hitherto veiled the sa-cred mysteries now begin to be dispelled: the glorious dawn illu-mines the E.\ with its bright effulgence, and its rays penetratointo dark and hidden places.
