Told through the Ages: A Series of Masonic Stories

Told through the Ages: A Series of Masonic Stories by J.S.M. Ward is a collection of short stories that explore the history and symbolism of Freemasonry. The book is divided into three sections, each representing a different era in Masonic history: the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. The stories are told from the perspective of different characters, including historical figures such as Pythagoras and King Solomon, as well as fictional characters who represent different aspects of Masonic philosophy. Each story explores a different aspect of Masonic symbolism, such as the importance of geometry, the search for truth, and the concept of brotherhood. Ward's writing is both informative and engaging, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the history and philosophy of Freemasonry. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Masonic history and symbolism, as well as for those who are curious about the role of Freemasonry in society.Several of my readers may be surprised at finding my name on a book which avowedly contains fiction, but I would suggest that valuable as is the mystical teaching of Freemasonry, its moral teachings are equally essential for the work it has to do in the world. Freemasonry is acknowledged to be a �������System of Morality, veiled in allegory, ' and in this volume I have endeavored to convey the old moral teachings under a new guise.
