Sidelights on Freemasonry: Craft and Royal Arch is a book written by John T. Lawrence that provides a comprehensive overview of the history, practices, and beliefs of Freemasonry. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the Craft or Blue Lodge, and the second part focusing on the Royal Arch. In the first part of the book, Lawrence delves into the origins of Freemasonry, tracing its roots back to the medieval guilds of stonemasons. He then provides a detailed explanation of the structure and symbolism of the Craft, including the three degrees of initiation, the tools of the trade, and the various rituals and ceremonies. He also discusses the role of the Grand Lodge and the various Masonic bodies that exist around the world.In the second part of the book, Lawrence turns his attention to the Royal Arch, which is considered by many to be the culmination of the Masonic journey. He explains the history and symbolism of the Royal Arch, including the significance of the Ark of the Covenant, the pillars of Jachin and Boaz, and the four symbolic creatures. He also provides a detailed description of the various degrees of the Royal Arch, including the Mark Master, the Most Excellent Master, and the Royal Arch Mason.Throughout the book, Lawrence provides insights into the philosophy and teachings of Freemasonry, as well as its impact on society and culture. He also addresses some of the controversies and misconceptions surrounding the organization, including its alleged ties to secret societies and political conspiracies.Overall, Sidelights on Freemasonry: Craft and Royal Arch is a comprehensive guide to the world of Freemasonry, offering a wealth of information and insights for both Masons and non-Masons alike.1909.
