Jesus passes the sixth brotherhood test and receives the sixth degree, LOVE DIVINE.
In all the land there was no place more grandly furnished than the Beauty Parlors of the temple of the sun.
2 Few students ever entered these rich rooms; the priests regarded them with awe, and called them Halls of Mysteries.
3 When Jesus had attained the victory over fear, he gained the right to enter here.
4 The guide led on the way, and after passing many richly furnished rooms they reached the Hall of Harmony; and here was Jesus left alone.
5 Among the instruments of music was a harpsichord, and Jesus sat in thoughtful mood inspecting it, when, quietly, a maiden of entrancing beauty came into the hall.
6 She did not seem to notice Jesus as he sat and mused, so busy with his thoughts.
7 She found her place beside the harpsichord; she touched the chords most gently, and she sung the songs of Israel. 8 And Jesus was entranced; such beauty he had never seen; such music he had never heard.
9 The maiden sung her songs; she did not seem to know that any one was near; she went her way
10 And Jesus, talking with himself, said out, What is the meaning of this incident? I did not know that such entrancing beauty and such queen-like loveliness were ever found among the sons of men.
