Brethren and Friends: It is a great privilege to be the guest this
evening at the 157th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey.
The history and traditions of this Lodge should be a source of pride to every
member. It was founded in the spirit of brotherly love and friendship. It
was dedicated to the service of God and country.
The history of America, its fight for freedom, its growth to the
country we know, and the history of Masonry in America are one and the same.
Again, today, when American freedom is in peril, when America is being attacked
on every side - when American lives are being lost and American ships are being
sunk - Masons and their sons are fighting as they have always fought in the past,
with honor and with glory.
The application of the principles of the founders of this great Lodge
sound morality, honesty to God and country, in the strength of charity, has
brought forth a new civilization, changes in our way of life, and progress
then undreamed of. By their example, we know that all progress, all material
success, must be based on the solid foundations of faith in God and charity
toward one's fellowmen. Their contributions, and the contributions of their
brothers and sons who followed them, in the formation and growth of this
nation, have become a keystone of our democracy. Throughout the succeeding
years, their principles have been carried on by each generation of the members
of Grand Lodge, many of whom have made the supreme sacrifice for those prin-
ciples on the battlefields of the world.
