J. S. M. Ward, founder and secretary of the Masonic Study Society, writes in his book, “Freemasonry and the Ancient Gods,” p. 330, that the Hindoo conception of the diety is the “same as that taught in our Lodges, with the same attributes, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.” Wilmshurst, Grand Registrar of West Yorkshire, wrote at the request of his fellow Masons a book called “The Masonic Initiation.” On p. 105 he writes: “To the Jewish brother Masonry points to the Father of the faithful; to the Hindoo brother it points to Krishna; to the Moslem, it points to Mahomet.” The Royal Arch Ritual gives the letters J.B.O. as denominating the Great Architect; the Hebrew Jehovah; the Syrian Baal; and the Egyptian Osiris.
