</aside>

  1. In all the land there no place more grandly furnished than the Beauty Parlours 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. (♂️♀️, mysteries, jk)
  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 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.”
  11. “I did not know that voice of angel ever graced a human form, or that seraphic music 😇 ever came from human lips 👄.”
  12. For days he sat entranced; the current of his thoughts was changed; he thought of nothing but the singer and her songs.
  13. He longed to see her once again; and after certain days she came; she spoke and laid her land upon his head.
  14. Her touch thrilled all his soul 🫀, and for the time, forgotten was the work that he was sent to do. 🗒️
  15. Few were the words the maiden said; she went her way; but then the heart of Jesus had been touched.
  16. A love-flame ❤️‍🔥 had been kindled in his soul, and he was brought to face the sorest trial of his life.
  17. He could not sleep ⏰ nor eat 🥄. Thoughts of the maiden came; they would not go. His carnal nature called aloud 🔊 for her companionship. 🫂
