A temple workman approached Hiram, King of Tyre, and asked, “If harmony is so important, why have we been divided?”
“How have you been divided?” responded the King.
“We have been separated into lodges of Apprentices, Fellowcrafts and Masters.” answered the workman.
“How does one progress from Apprentice to Fellowcraft to Master?” asked the King.
The workman thought for a moment and said, “He studies, practices and eventually proves proficiency at his current grade.”
“So who has divided you?” asked the King.
And the workman was brought to light.
