Q. What word did those Hebrew characters compose? A. The ineffable
name of the Great Architect of the Universe.

Q. To whom was that name revealed? A. To Moses; he received the

to him, and by a law of Moses it was forbidden ever to be pronounced
unless in a certain manner, so that in process of time the true
pronunciation was lost.

Q. What doth the blazing star denote? A. That light which should guide
us to the Divine Providence.

Q. What is signified by the letter G in the centre of the blazing

Q. What is meant by these? A. By Glory is meant God, by Grandeur, man

spoken by the first man.

Q. What else did you see in the Sanctum Sanctorum? A. The ark of

Sanctum Sanctorum, under the blazing star.
