Address of President Roosevelt to Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania

President Roosevelt speaks to the Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsylvania on the 150-year anniversary of the initiation of George Washington as a Freemason.

He also speaks of the qualities of a number of “great men” who he calls heroes because of their commitment to other people and their nation as a whole over their own selves. Roosevelt comments on the book The Simple Life by Charles Wagner, and wishes it could be circulated around the whole country because of the values it discusses. He urges each member of the audience to carry forward the spirit of brotherhood he has with his fellow Masons into the wider nation.
