ABSTRACT

( After leaving the candidates the Master re-enters the Temple with his hair down his back , 1 his right shoulder bare, and clad in white robes of the Ming period. When he puts these on he says the following verse :—) We put on mourning with the white clothes. To-night all Sons of Hung should listen with care; For the loss of those who were treacherously slain We must mourn for a full three year. 2
