LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE RADIO AUDIENCE:-
It is my privilege to discuss with you for a few minutes George
Washington, the Man and the Freemason.
Fause
On the back of a picture at Mount Vernon is one of the greatest
tributes ever paid to the+Father of his Country. I shall quote a few
sentences from that tribute:
Washington, the defender of his country, the founder of
liberty, the friend of man. History and tradition are explored
in vain for a parallel to his character. In the annals of modern
greatness he stands alone, and the noblest names of antiquity lose
their luster in his presence. Born the benefactor of mankind, he
united all the qualities necessary to an illustrious career. Nature
made him great; he made himself virtuous. Called by his country
to the defense of her liberties, he triumphantly vindicated the
rights of humanity, and on the pillars of national independence
laid the foundations of a great Republic.
Magnanimous
in youth, glorious through life, great in death, his highest
ambition, the happiness of mankind; his noblest victory, the con-
quest of himself; bequeathing to posterity the inheritance of his
fame, and building his monument in the hearts of his countrymen, he
lived, the ornament of the eighteenth century, and died, regretted
by a mourning world."
