.BACON'S "SECRET SOCIETY": THE EPHRATA CONNECTION

The doorways of the Saron are very narrow and only about five feet high. Consequently, people had to bow their heads as they stepped just inside the sisterhouse. The hallways, also, are very narrow and the ceilings very low. This was designed to remind all who entered to bow their heads in humility, and to remember "the narrow way" to salvation.

the beliefs and practices of fundamental religions.
