Good morning, everybody.

Welcome back, Morals and Dogma, Episode 3.

We're going to continue from where we left off on the last episode with the fellow craft

or in what are called geometry and trigonometry two words that are themselves deficient in

meaning geometry which the letter g in most lodges is said to signify the measurement of land or the earth or surveying,

and trigonometry is the measurement of triangles, or figures with three sides or angles.

The latter is by far the most appropriate name for the science

intended to be expressed by the word geometry. Neither is of a meaning sufficiently wide,

for although the vast surveys of great spaces of the earth's surface and of coasts by which

shibreck and calamity to mariners are avoided, are affected by means of triangulation,

though it was by the same method that the French astronomers measured a degree of latitude,

and so established a scale of measures on an immutable basis, though it is by means of the immense

triangle that has for its baseline drawn and imagination between the place of the Earth and its place

six months hence in space. And for its apex, a planet or star at the distance of Jupiter or

Sirius from the Earth is ascertained. And though there is a triangle still more vast, its base

extending either way from us with and pass the horizon

into immensity, and its apex infinitely distant above us, to which corresponds a similar infinite

triangle below, what is above equaling what is below. Immensity equaling immensity, yet the science of numbers to which
