"... In 1783, General Washington
resigned his commission and returned to his 8000 acre plantation.
To help ensure that our fledgling government would hold together,
George presided over the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia
in 1787. The Framers of the Constitution are said to have had
Bro. George in mind when they created the Office of the Presidency

on the Altar Bible belonging to St. John’s Lodge No. 1,
New York City (opened to the 49th Chapter of the Book of
Genesis), Bro. George Washington was inaugurated as our
first President. How about that?
