Theodore Roosevelt will show Minister Maurice Francis Egan’s letter to Hamilton Mabie, the author of an article in The Outlook. While he is not orthodox, Roosevelt tries to avoid the type of “intensely offensive spiritual pride” that conceits being heterodox. Roosevelt believes greatly in the doctrine of works and knows many men whose doctrinal beliefs are incompatible, yet they can work harmoniously. He strongly condemns religious men who disapprove of the search for scientific truth. Roosevelt found Egan’s conversation with Frederik VIII, King of Denmark, interesting.
